Syy's Mk4 Ibiza FR TDI "Lowbeeza"

[Syy]

So ive owned my FR TDI for a few months now, the original plan was to keep it standard, but since joining the forum and modifying my previous cars that plan didnt stay long !

I purchased the car back in March 2011 from Pioneer Automotive in Cheltenham,The car has had one owner from new with a full SEAT history and only 39,00 miles on the clock

As mentioned above ive been bitten by the modding bug and have created a nice little list (as we all have) so here's the plan.......(so far)

Handling and Brakes

- Raceland Coilovers - DONE
- Whiteline RARB
- Seat Sport Strut Brace
- Cupra Bushes
- Audi TT 312mm brake setup

Engine

- PD160 intake
- Green Panel Filter
- Awesome GTI Stage 1 Remap DONE

Cosmetic \ Interior \ Exterior

-De-badge IBIZA - DONE
-iPod Aux cable - DONE
-De-badged Grill - ON ORDER
-LCR Splitter
-Lamin X Fly Eyes

Ive already ticked one thing of my list, heres a few pics of my car the the Raceland Coilovers me and a friend fitted this weekend , my mates kept calling it the "lowbeeza" which kinda stuck hence the thread title.

Im sure ill be back with some more updates soon !

Enjoy !

Looking good, bit too low on the front for me personally though. Sort out your headlights man, take the covers off the back of the headlights and drill a few 5mm holes in the back of each cover. Lets the air in and the condensation stops. Also, LED sidelights are in order

Yeah i only fitted the coillies on Saturday so im experimenting with ride height at the mo but i quite like the lowness atm

Cheers for the advice on the headlights ill get the drill out at the weekend its pretty anoying and looks rubbish !

I will eventually get some HID's and LED buls on it but im wanna concentrate on handling/braking/power first

Ok so its been a while since ive updated this thread...

After a love hate relationship with the car, ive decided im gonna keep it for another few years and do a few mods here and there to keep me interetsed in it.

Im treking up the Manchester next weekend to get the car Re-mapped @ Awesome GTI very much looking forward to the power increase.

If the bank account allows i might also have a whiteline rarb fitted at the same time.

Ive done a few cosmetics tweeks too, ive de-badged the rear looks alot better imo. And ive fitted a smart AUX cable so i can finally listen to my Ipod !

will be ordering an LCR plitter very soon too !

Pics coming soon...

That's one lowered Ibiza
Looks really good!

 

[Syy]

Cheers mate, ive had to rise the front a bit as it was very bouncy not much though only a couple of centremeters. Im not as happy with the rear i think it need to go down a bit more im considering taking the adjusters out....

 

[Paul_fr]

Looking nice there mate. I have a black one myself and I have dropped mine coilovers and it sits just right. Be good to see your plans as I have way to many plans and bits to fit.

 

[Kgroot.nl]

The rear may lower a little bit but nog to much.
Otherwise it will look like the back end is hanging down compared to the front

 

[Syy]

Yeah true, i might take them out see how it sits / rides. if its poor ill put em back in again..

Im also considering getting a de-badged grill and maybe some yellow lamin x for the fogs

Opinions ?

 

[Paul_fr]

Mine has a de badged grill I'm not to sure about it so I'm going back to standard!! Yellow dogs I like the look of them to be fair. I will get some pics up of mine soon

 

[Kgroot.nl]

I've got mine sprayed in the same color as the grey part in the front and rear bumper.
Yellow Lamin X is coming on mine too

[Syy]

just thought id upload some quick shots of my new semi de-badged rear end. And also a few cool night shots i took in my underground car park.

 

[Paul_fr]

Are you smoothing the boot? If so I have one up for grabs as well haha

 

[Syy]

Ok so just a small update...

Had the car re-mapped on Saturday @ Awesome GTI, i had Awesome's own map put on it and wow ! Its like a new car

I havnt got any RR read outs as i didnt have enough time to get it done,but what i can say is the power curve is very smooth, massive amounts of torque and still managed 52mpg on the 200mile journey back home ! its now a very quick little car Very Very impressed !

So just one other small thing...


I brought some new headlight bulbs as mine were shocking ! Didn't really want to go down the HID due to the MOT regulation changes. So i got some of these..

Gotta say im really impressed with them ! brilliant white light alot better than the standard jobbies,

I got some pure white side lights too, but i cut my hands to pieces trying to fit them so i gave up in the end... (might try again this weekend)

Car looks really good! I would love one of these in black!!

Cant believe how shiney it is in the first pic . I think the height that it is at is perfect.

Any more plans got the Ibiza?
