My Ibiza 1.8T Sleeper

Post by bizaboy »

It all started 3 years ago...

Image

A 1.4 SE Seat Ibiza 6L Mk4 in Imperial Blue, bought as my first car as a nice little run about. Went through many little modifications and many...many subwoofers (as all 17 year olds seem to :lol: )

Image

Then after landing a rather cushty job at Millbrook Proving Ground the plan was hatched to give it a new heart, I didn't fancy trying anything too special so found myself a Cat C Ibiza Cupra donor car and had Midlands VW slip the low mileage 1.8 20v T (180hp) engine in my SE.

She grew Lenso BSX 16x7.5J alloys in white and chrome at the same time

From then she's had a Pipercross induction kit, Milltek de-cat exhaust system and APR Stage 2 map, alongside a nicely stripped out interior complete with OMP bucket seats and TRS harnesses. Running 240hp now...
