Thought I better introduce myself, iv recently bought a yellow 56 plate Seat Ibiza FR with a forge front mount, forge pipe work and remap to 190bhp at the wheels, rather happy with it and so glad to be back in a vag car, been trying the Jap and French options over the last couple of years, (facepalm) lol got the usual plans for her but il pop a project thread up when I have the time.
Also the car came with the forum sticker so was wondering if anyone knows the car or previous owner, the reg ends RYR if that helps, I would post a picture but I'm guessing i have to post a couple times before I can add photos?
Anyway Hello everyone!!

welcome!

I've had a s14a 200sx and it was a right beast! Similar power to my LCR but it felt like it wanted to kill me every time I booted it! lol
Also had a Civic type R, loved that too but the insurance was just stupid!

Welcome from another noob!

lol yea, it's awesome though when you catch it stepping out and control it. I did it a few times with people in the car. Acting cool on the outside while panicking like hell on the inside lol!

"yeh, of course I was in total control!"

Haha why the pooby? It wasn't a flat 2l non turbo was it? :p haha that's for sure the insides are awful! Nothing a few £££ couldn't sort out, I'm currently 'in the market' for a S13 for a project/drift car. Once you get your posts up pop a pic of this S14 up too...guilty pleasure :p

Lol I know :,( lol just couldn't help myself when I saw it, yer think I helped nearly all of my friends out of snow banks and ditches!! Best thing was coming in fully sideways and covering them in snow when I turned up and then saying "that's how you do it!!" Lol well my Forge 008 turned up today :p so il b fitting that over the weekend then goin to refurb the wheels and spray the sidestrips when I finally get some time off work!! then I'm thinking stage 2 as I now have the POWER bug!! Lol but not sure if I could deal with the epically low mpg!! Hard enough goin from 60-70mpg to mid 30s!! Lol

You will want to pull that air box out and replace it with open cone, have a look at jetex open cones online mate nout but good things to say as many on here :) oooo a sprayer, how much to powder coat my 3SDMs metallic purple? :p

Lol did u mean "il let them know"? Lol what 3SDMs have you got mate? I'd love a set of 0.01 but don't think they will fit :,( lol what tyres you gettin?
Luckily both me and the guy who owns the company worked someplace else before so have stollen all ther trade as the companies that used us found out it was us 2 that was doin the work :D we got a contract with AC Schnitzer and 4 of the biggest car sales places in the area so have always got cars comin thro!! Fingers crossed this year will be a busy 1 and then we can move into a bigger place as we share the yard with another company and are always pushed for space!!
I live in the lush place that is........ Norfolk Kings Lynn!! Lol but I'm from Canvey Island in Essex, not sure if that's any better than kings binn tho!! Lol

Welcome to the forum mate,

The car has a P-Torque stage 1 map and Forge Seat Sport syle cooler, Whiteline RARB and Audi TT front brake conversion, I know this because the car you are describing was my old one :) at it's peak it made just over 220bhp after Forge did their bits.

Look after her ;)

Alo mate!! didnt think I'd find you this quick!! Lol 1st thing I have to thank you for lookin after her that well!! Honestly been cared for :D lol can I just ask how did the dent in the rear 1/4 get ther? Such a random place to get a dent? Lol the garage I bought her from managed to get the dent out tho :D lol that would explain the huge front breaks then!! Lol 220bhp you say!! :p the dyno printout says something like 220bhp but says 190.2bhp at the wheels, honestly believe it as my god she flys!! Lol
And don't you worry, she will be well pampered in my ownership :D lol
