Seat Ibiza GTI / MKII GTI questions

[gibby]

Its a car that started the hot hatch revolution really with the Pug 205 GTI.

You should have left off the 205 GTI bit because Pug copied the concept from VW many years later, about 84/85 to be precise and the Golf GTI had already been in production since 1977 (I think) with the idea being formulated a couple of years earlier.

I was just covering my arse! Im new to dubs see and at 22 the era of the hot hatch was before i born so... I wasnt too sure

from what I have seen of the engine bays they do look like the mk3 16v engine and I thought they may have tweaked and changed bits on it to make it quicker but it does look exactly the same so I started thinking hang on Seat parts are cheaper than vw parts so I'm off to a Seat dealers to have a good nosy around the engine bay

Yeah, I think those Ibiza's have the Mk3 Golf engines but are based on the Mk4 Polo chassis. So it'll be the 2.0l 8v block in his Seat.

I'd rather have a Mk2 GTI than a Ibiza, but they're not bad apparently.
