Apparently a rare model, looks nice, and with 240bhp i bet it's quick. What do people think of these?

Keep a set of coilpacks and a maf sensor in the boot.
Expensive parts to go and do they go often?Originally Posted by bigdur
My mate had a Leon with the same engine, I can ask but I think he started fitting Merc coil packs as they were more reliable. Not that expensive but he sure went through them!
Certainly something to consider, at least there's a working alternative. I've seen Leon's and they certainly look ok but imagine the Ibiza to be more nimble
He was big into the scene, I can ask him if you like.
cupra.net is a great forum to look around.
That would be cool
Just text him, apparently Leon Cupra R ftw, Ibiza twitchy at high speed.
Twitchy... and what's classed as high speed
Leon Cupra does look nice, 18" tyres at £190 a corner put me offmaybe i'm used to 15" Spec 2 prices
He meant the earlier Leon, I think they ran 17s.
Prefer this shape Leon but like the look of that Ibiza

Yea, that Leon is the one he meant. Did they have 18s?
Yeah 225-40-18s
my bro just got one of these few months ago for about just under 3k.not a bad car but the seats are rock hard tough
a very fast car id say and it can move when it wants as well even i was pretty suprised myself when i went in it. its dont think its been modded yet but he is soon to do some of that though.not had any probs yet with it though.
£190 a corner! Just got some toyo T1R 225/40/18 for my Leon cupra r for £89 a corner from camskill. IMO the Leon is a much beta car and more power as standard, plus I e had mine for a while now and not had any probs with coil packs but there are uprated versions now so it's not an issue anymore, plus a cheap remap, filter, exhaust, and turbo inlet pipe can see you around the 260-270bhp markTwitchy... and what's classed as high speed

I think I put the wrong profile size in the search
My local tyre place are showing Continentals at £133 each fitted. But this is on the Leon, the Ibiza looks to have 17s. For 4k it looks like all the work has been done, he's gonna send some interior pics. Looks like its caged up
It won't tow a trailer Rich! Hehehe!
definatley go for a cupra r! Used to like the ibiza but i think ive grown up since having my boy and like bigger cars now lol. But i think its pretty pointless when you could have the bigger leon. And like above more power standard. And easily tuneable. I may be biased as i have the cupra r running 270ish bhp. Its nice and quick.
And have recently been stung for 2 18" pirellis up front not cheap.
Leon IMO is too big for me personally, the Ibiza in that classifieds ad looks just right for track, sprint etc and had most if not all the mods done. To buy a Leon then modding it is out of financial range.
What is the std BHP for the Ibiza Cupra R 180, 225?
180bhp buddy
i really like this shape ibiza cupra, i was looking at them before i bought my 5gtt and have been recently looking at a few as my mrs is after a new car.
If its 180bhp he's done ok to get 240bhp
My mate had a red cupra r one with the ihi conversion, think it was about 340bhp. Was quick
I blitzed one in the RS4 the other day, bloody muppet flashing me out the way fooool
Hardly a surprise you beat him you nuggetI blitzed one in the RS4 the other day, bloody muppet flashing me out the way fooool
Forgets he drives a super car in an estate body!!!!Hardly a surprise you beat him you nugget
A good custom remap good flow exhaust and front mount will show figures around 240/250 from a 1.8t 180.
Im running forge fmic/miltek system/4bar fpr and a few other Tweeks with a custom code remap and I'm seeing a little over those figures from a 180
Rich, if you want to sprint an 1800 cc turbo car, I think you will be classed as a 2,6.
Forced induction increases capacity by 40%, you will be playing with some of the big boys.....

My mates. Shes quite pokey
flashing an rs4 out the way lol.
rods need to be uprated at about 300 ft lbs i think. not sure if youd get any where near that on the k03/s turbo though. definatley good info on seatcupra.net
225bhhp is the k04 turbo bam engine and another engine code but i forget which one.
I see around 290 ftlbs on standard internals on an AUQ 180, I'm running a k03s and it seems to pull all the way round. I do know i'm pretty much over the capabilitys of the k03s
So the power that Ibiza is running seems ok for what it is spec wise?
[quote=Ricardo;252258]So the power that Ibiza is running seems ok for what it is spec wise?[/quote
It's well known that the k03s runs out of puff at around 230-240. With all the parts fitted and the custom map id say the 240hp stated would be near on true
The only thing i'm not running on that list is the race cast manifold engine wise.
I may well have a k04 or a k03s hybrid fitted as im putting out more power so makes me think my turbo's different. If it is a k03s then ive blown the mith of it running out off puff at those hp figures people state it can handle.
Everything changed on the seat Ibiza can comfortably handle the power its stated

Thanks for that
