Supercharged Ignis Sport. *Dyno results.*
 

Somebody asked if I had a progress thread, the answer was no, so I thought I'd put one up, sorry it's not a Saxo.
I got this car back in February of 2008, here it is standard after a good clean not long after i got it:










When looking at reviews, after getting the car (no logic there), i found that my car had been used in the reviews, look at the reg plates:
http://www.carenthusiast.co.uk/revie...t/article.html
It was also used in a 4car review but that site has closed.
Basically this means my car was thrashed by some journalists/reviewers, lol.

Favourite quote from the carenthusiast.com review: "It is also worth noting that the chassis is stiffer than a pervert in a branch of Ann Summers."

I didn't really plan to modify it but the bug hit me.

First mod was a K&N filter:


That then got changed for a SuzukiSport carbon duct and filter that i got for £190 second hand, bargain considering it's over £500 new, and also fitted a carbon plug cover:






Then fitted my OMP strut brace that i also got mega cheap second hand:




Won some Enkei wheels on Ebay for a bargain price of £150 and bought some second hand D2 coilovers for £250:






It's only been dropped 20mm or so, plan to drop it a bit more soon.

Next was a mesh grill i got for £35 on Ebay, it was in perfect condition, would be £200 brand new.

I sprayed the silver mesh black:


New addition to my interior, got it from Ebay for just over £5 delivered from Hong Kong:




Then came a Monster Sport carbon fibre bonnet, got it for £600, never used, just under £1000 new, uber light and a good fit:




Purchased a SuzukiSport SP-X exhaust on Ebay for £235 second hand and shipped from Singapore, over £440 brand new:


Cleaned it up:

Also have blue wheel nuts on, and a two tone horn to replace the girly standard one, no pics of those though.

Waiting in my shed to be fitted:

• Lightweight crank pulley,
• Front and rear Whiteline anti roll bars,
• Summit mid roll bar,
• Rotrex supercharger and intercooler,
• Blue silicone coolant hoses,
• New fog lamp to replace chipped one on passenger side.

That's it so far.

Nice car, something different. I like all the works stuff you can get from suzuki. The monster bonnet isn't cheap, but it is made by monster so i'll let you off.

very different !
i like it tbh !
whats the performance figures, etc. on these ?
new car is on the cards so could be an option (:

to get the drive by shot did you just hide the camera in a bunch of leaves? haha

Got to say its not normally a car i would look at twice BUT yours is an exception (sp), the changes you have made make a lot of difference.

Bet its a nice car to drive.

whens the rotrex going on?

Nice car



LOL At the Cat!

lmao just seen that made me LOL

Looks good... Sound good too... Whens the Supercharger going on? ;)

what are the performance figures etc ?

looks really really smart love the carbon :y:

Glad you made a progress thread mate, looks really good imo. Didn't like it standard, but the modifications are definatley for the better.

Parkers puts it at;

Engine Size 1490 cc
Cylinders 4
0-60 mph -
Power Output 107 bhp
Valves 16
Torque 140 Nm 103 lb-ft
Top Speed 115 mph

Weight 945 kg

Insurance Group 9

So on par with a VTR, 100 less CC's, weighs about what, 50-100kg more? But has 16 valves to make up, near as makes no difference top speed.

EPIC CAR!!! Love these soooo much! Yours looks spot on dude.

I really want one of these ¬¬

Looks lovely :)

my friend had a black one with pro race 1.2s and a suzuki works sticker kit....looked ok actually.....

urs is a lovely colour too! :p

WOW
My indian neibours have one of these and its a shit box....
its not the sport version though.

Yours on the other hand is miiiint!!!
love the bonnet!!
nice car dude!!

Love the sound of the exhaust, I was waiting for someone to come along and pick up the camera :P

Someone in my work had one of these, he boasted about the power but i'll beleive it when i drive one.. like the look of yours though - it's different from the norm

Yep, put it down and put a few leaves in front of it for camouflage, lol.

Thanks. I'm getting quotes to fit the Rotrex, not sure when it will go on though, just need to find time when i don't need the car for a few days.
It is nice to drive.

As quoted above, also 0-60 in 8.9secs, 115mph top speed, 107bhp.

It is different, exactly why i chose it.
It's VTR speeds, and very good handling despite the tall looks, it's more about the handling with these cars than outright power, the reason they were made is due to regulations when they were being used for the JWRC, i think a certain amount had to be made.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Really like these mate!

Excellent choice of mods as well

Looks the danglies :y:

Love the recaro interior as well

Passed my test ina ignis sport was lever par with my c2 gt i thought

Nice and tidy mate

I really, really like this.

:D

Thanks for the nice comments, i usually get comments the other way about how ugly it is and how it looks like an invalid carriage, lol.
4-2-1 manifold and decat on the way from Singapore!!

really like these ,theres something about them ,dunno what it is lol

Must admit these car are deffientley not my cuppa tea, but your looks pretty cool :)

Looks pretty damn smart buddy, love it :y:

4-2-1 manifold and decat in my shed awaiting fitment sometime in the near future.

Cool machine man, probably decent gains from the system and i'd imagine from the 4-2-1 aswell.. good progress!

4-2-1 manifold and decat vid
 

Went out today and got a quick vid of my car with the 4-2-1 manifold and decat added onto the SP-X exhaust.
I'm happy with it, still quite nice and civilised when i need it to be, but that changes when you put your foot down, lol.

Not something I would be overly keen on if it drove past me in the street, but yours looks lovely mate.

Nice to see something different :y:I have never seen one of these done up before.


Insurance group suprised me actually. Doesnt seem that different from the vtr power wise.

Wow, really like it!

Black and bue ftw ;)

love these cars ive got d2 coilovers on my ek civic there mint

wooow that is somthing i have never thought would look good but you have done it mate nice one reallly like it :y:

Thanks.
That's exactly the reason i got it, because it's different from the usual cars the young people get, although i did love my Saxo. I went to Japfest with this car earlier this year and it was 1 of just 2 that were there.
Almost exactly the same as the VTR, that was one of my choices before i got this.

Thank you, black and blue ftw indeed.

The suspension on this car is proper stiff with the D2's on, it was stiff on standard suspension but not quite as bad.

Thanks, happy to know i have achieved something i have set out to do.

LOl at that cat. but nice car its different, but cool.

I had one of these before my VTR and I have to say, I LOVED it, because it's a 16v VVT unit, it actually feels quicker but in reality, I think i't only half a second quicker to 60 than the 98BHP VTR that I have now. Handle really well not good in the snow though :-(and you don't see too many about.

Pic of mine on the forecourt the day I went to see it. (only had it a month) no good photos of it before I piled it into a high curb in the bad snow we had.



I really miss it but LOVE my VTR

this is one sweet iggy mate love the carbon ! win ! :y:

Thanks. Getting supercharged as we speak, don't know if i can cope without my car till the weekend!! lol, will be worth it though.

A friend of mine had one of those.. its a nice car.. and at first look.. none gives nothing for its appearence..

Go for it :D
