nfbr Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Did you like your Ibiza FR TDI that you had? If so, Then go for an Ibiza FR 1.8T One of my colleagues has an 04 FR 1.8T with a Seat Sport Intercooler, milltek full system, KO3S/KO4 Hybrid turbo, 4 bar regulator and KO4 mapping running 260bhp and 300lb/ft ! The thing is an absolute flying machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 What do you want the car to do? Is there a price limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Phase Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 well for 10k I can get an astra VXR but it's £2200 insuranceIbiza's interest me because there's a beautiful red one for £5800 atm =]and insurance is £1400money isn't toooo much of an issue but don't want to tie loads of money up in a car260bhp sounds nice! standard turbo is good for around 240bhp they say on seatcupraI think I'd stick to intake, exhaust and remap though because of insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Didn't you want a Lupo? Or have you got one and want something else?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Phase Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 yeah I've got an SDi and plans was to 1.9 TDi it, but it's on hold for a while =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Probably not the best image for a bloke.....but how about a Meriva VXR, a bit slower 0-60 than the corsa but then again lower insurance group.I've only ever seen one too so exclusive (i thought it was a joke until i googled it, they actually do exist!)The reviews seem all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His project isn't finished yet, The next step is a set of BAM injectors, then custom mapping. Probably see around 275bhp and 320lb/ft which in a 1.8T Ibiza is pretty mental!

.Phase Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) no ta on the meriva VXR hahaha !corsa VXR = £2200astra VXR = £2200 logic ?so I'm guessing meriva VXR = £2200I can't justify giving £2000 away if I'm honest!considering those ibiza have 100kgs on astra VXRs that's pretty quick! EDIT - and just a thought... focus RS are 300bhp BUT near 1500kgs lol I am really tempted by them it's just there are none nearby to test drive, only 50 miles and I'd have to ask favours for lifts to view them I'm so used to diesel kicking in with near 290lbs/ft at 1900rpm I'm not sure I'd like a petrol again Edited September 11, 2010 by .Phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 no ta on the meriva VXR hahaha !I thought that might be the case.....i wouldn't either Would you prefer to stay VAG? Cause there are some random quick cars like the Mazda 6 MPS (i know i have odd taste in automobiles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Phase Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 that's probably another insurance issue tbh, probably around the likes of astra vxr?seem the good buys are 9k which is alot to tie up in a car for me!especially as I'm not too keen on the looksz3m coupe ANYDAY!but insurance is like 3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Aren't the 3's supposed to be a little erratic as they're too powerful for their front wheel setup? The reason i suggested the 4 wheel drive 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Statistically more Vauxhall VXR's end up written off then Renaultsport's or Mini Cooper S's. Therefore they are given a higher risk rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
