looks good i remember the hastle of fitting a fmic in my ibiza . think the main issue was fog lights . oh still on the revo quest btw
I continue to learn the ally welding bit. I guess its a few weeks of time, but spread over 10 months or so. Had my weld kit since 2002, but only used it on dc and stainless until recently. I picked up some great advise from one of Forges top welders which made a step change in my welding ally.. I really enjoy it too.. sad but true
yea, fog light fit and clear fine on this one. just remounted the horns smaller screen wash bottle already in place from customer which allowed room for pipe run dhown there. very similar run to my bizas pipes.

Looks good bill. Far better than the other kits currently available. Is that Ibiza one the ko3 hybrids?
this one currently runs a GT2x unit. Owner plans for a prper BT at a later date and has built the engine and spec'd fmic etc for that in mind.
