Hey there. Have only just joined as i have only just passed my test and my first car is a MK2 Seat Ibiza 1.4 SE. Just enquiring about the specs of the car as i have no idea of the BHP, 0-60, Weight etc. Just wondering if anyone could let me know the spec of this model and the best websites to buy tuning parts for as i am ready to start modifying.

60bhp, just over 1000kg

However

i have only just passed my test..... i am ready to start modifying.

I'd concentrate on the driving first, then when you've done that without crashing buy something quicker

Well ive been on the road for over a year now and looking to keep this car for quite a while so would like to modify it a bit. Do you hav any good websites?

you'll not be able to get too much more from a 1.4 to be honest, as m0rk said, why not just start saving for something a tad quicker?

i would suggest a good non chavvy exhaust and some form of air filter modification, easiest ways to increase bhp, there will be loads of options available to you however these are by far the easiest.
in saying that, the lil 1.4 although not hugely powerful is great fun as standard, 60bhp aint much but there aint much car there either, i personally drive one (lola) she is great fun to drive, very revvy and with half decent alloys she handles like a go cart! graqnted she doesnt quite set the world alight at the traffic lights, however its great fun trying lol.
best of luck mate whichever route you decide

work on the handling not the bhp mate. Handling will be more fun, cheaper and will give you the best results out of a 1.4.

Also, welcome to SCN

 

[sickpupppy]

i agree, handling is the way to go. fast isnt everything, although its a big part of it lol

 

[Matt_Tomlin]

Yeah i think i will just do the air filter and exhaust system. Whats the best one to get though?

 

[sickpupppy]

Not sure regarding the air filter yet as haven't tackled that myself. But I have a Remus rear section fitted and it sounds awesome.
I would highly recommend it.
I hear that pipercross and K n N have a couple options for the filter however at first glance they were not cheap lol.
Hope this helps mate.

1. Good tyres. 2. Thorough service. 3. Stop and save for a gti, they're cheaper than you might think!
