nickbarnes07 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 , isn't it perfectly good in the ibiza???! Any pics of it by any chance?As for prices, it depends how much you do your self, if your supplying the engine and you want a drive in drive out conversion i reckon your probably looking at about 4k, as it's not a straightforward fit. You wont have any mod costs though as from the spec in your profile it looks pretty hot to trot i got a lsd coming for the ibiza and bigger inlet manifold , the one that bill runs on his 550bhp ibiza , aquamist and few other bits , i would put the ibiza back to standard , 4k doesnt seem to bad , i could also use brembos , and everything else of my ibiza , here is a pic , its having a full respray at the mo , but here is a pic before it is getting resprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 That is one nice Ibiza! It doesn't even look as though it need a respray, the paint looks well nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerz Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hester way also rough area but this ISNT the one that I was talking about , so have a look and make your own mind up sounds like you know what your doing. Bill lives near by but by sounds of it you know him already. The brembo 4 pots will fit behind some 16's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickbarnes07 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 just went to look at the little lupo , made him a offer of £4600 , he said he will think about it , he failed to mention that it was rusting on the drivers side door , passenger side seal , bonnet is badly chipped up , the rear boot lock is badly chipped , odd tyres when it states toyo s all round , and the passenger side has been sprayed before , got the orange peel affect , and on the top of the roof you can also feel where they have peeled the masking tape of , the car isnt bad , but its not as mint as i would want it to be , he is also the 6th owner , so i would of been the 7th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 humm now having 2nt thoughts about making the journey to go see it.it is hpi clear tho apart from the outstanding finance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sTe Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Aluminium doesnt rustAgree sound bit strange to me, driver door starting to rust (when GTI doors are ali), passenger side been sprayed. End of the day its your choice to make, but if I was you I would stay clear there are better ones out there for not a lot more. As for being HPI clear not all accidents get registered, depends on if its done through insurance or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
