Hi
i'm using the stock ibiza pedals runing the hydraulic clutch & gearbox from vr6. To make this work i'm using the conversion kit that seat itself sells that comes stock on the 2.0 GTI. It's some sort of lever with cable, but it's not working properly as the clutch pedal sometimes gets stuck, so we are still trying to solve that one.

As for the fuel pump the standard 1,4 16v is running fine for testing but when it comes to push it on the road i dunno, probably will not the required power.. someone recommended me the G60 one, we'll see..

#11 then

not so sure how far you are interior wise but if you are getting hassles then consider the TDI models used hydraulic clutch complete and have the matching parts to marry it all up hydraulic but involves the pdal box assy complete

went hydraulic to cable to be more hasle free and keep the stock pedals.. but proven to be a mistake, as its giving lots of headaches.

i will fit the vr6 pump & pedals if we cannot solve the cable curve issue that causes the clutch pedal to stuck.


what you advise for gearbox ? I know my stockish ibiza will do the 260Km/h with that engine as a friend of mine did that on a stock G3 VR6, but i'm more about acceleration, so may be a closer one ?? I tought on the G60 corrado one but i think its pretty much the same, dunno.. any advice ?


thx a million m8

now already has the MAF fitted and idles perfect.

already test drove it, tons of torque, did 120Km/h pretty quick even without exaust he he

VERY VERY loud..

btw, swapped the gearbox with a early corrado to have closer ratios.
