might aswell just buy a meggy cup, costs less, holds value the same, looks better (IMO), is more roomy, has more kit, has a turbo which is very tunable and handles brilliantly, only downside is the MPG which is realistically mid/high 20's.

aren't there already a few IHI'd Ibiza's with circa 350 bhp? I know yours will be 400-500 with NOS but it's not unique Matt?

oi! sat on the bumper of it though :) and yes, your cup is quick :(

I suppose it proves Renault's mechanics are in good order though if the engine can cover 100,000 miles + And even if it's in poor condition, surely at £1,000 it's a steal. £500 to do it up, give it a very good wash/wax and a service and remove that shít ass superchip and get a proper ECU...

The RR printout from Jabba showing the power output after a remap. http://www.foundrometers.co.uk/pics/fabia/remap-full.jpg Notice the 438nm of torque :D

You missed a few things yes :D, it does 50 mpg, has 5 doors, VAG build quality and basically it is a VAG (same engine/gearbox, drivetrain, suspension, I could go on as the Polo/Ibiza....), cheap to insure and run, is a warm hatch and can easily be remapped to 195 bhp and in a straight line it...

................................... sssss kkkkk oooo dddd aaaa ................................... not quite got the kudos that the a renault sport has.

Fatt Spack - How's your sister after last night? I had to break her in because she said the power to weight ratio of your díck was too small to measure (literally). Do you think your car is a penis enlargement? Save some money, get some friends and stop trying to loose 1 second on a 1/4...

If I were going for outright handling and power & looks I suppose then I would go for the Ibiza Cupra PD160 as it is very economical and quick, and is very tuneable. It has a larger VNT17 turbo, and a Front Mounted Intercooler (huge) which is very important for remapped TDI's and Turbo...

Sorry just to add, my remapped times :D 0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.63 0 - 100 (Secs) : 17.08 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.04 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 93.81 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.84 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 95.45

I am 21, 1 years NCB and 1 accident within the last 3 years and an SP30 (speeding). When the car was standard, only Admiral would insure me at a reasonable price of £1050. Now it's modified, I have been in touch with GreenLight. All mods declared (springs, dampers, brakes, strut braces, I...

JabbaSport maps them to 220 BHP, they have the larger KO4 turbo from the TT 225 and LCR 210/225, not the KO3 from Octavia vRS etc, couple that with a good FMIC and they are very quick. That's why I bought my VAG Skoda Fabia vRS, 130 bhp TDI. Ibiza Cupra Intake, Green Panel Filter and...

subaru impreza wrx sti can be had for £13k not new admittadly, but neither is a 172.

Getting a 172 turbo'd? Cost between 6-8k for 260 bhp? sounds awesome can't deny it but surely with the average cost of even a 2nd hand 172 coming in at 5-6k that costs around 13k without the suspension or the brakes that will be needed. Is it purely for the enthusiast or did BB and K-Tec...

Matt, why don't you get the new GT30RS from JBS in Chesterfield. Costs about 4k including all the internals (most of which you will already have) but is good for 550 bhp :D
