Depending how far you go with stripping the corrado would I be able to take the coilovers from it? Read up somewhere that they fit the felicia.... Well the rears do apparently but may be able to do something with the fronts aswell.

Have you got a big enough hammer if so the fronts will fit no problem

Big hammer, wd40, hydraulic press and a grinder!!!!

Got a gearbox, clutch and fly from a 1.4MPI. Can't give them away it seems :( Don't think the Ibiza can be an MPI as it was a Skoda only (crappy old tech era) engine.

I might take it as a spare, depending if its cheap. Yeah the 6k2 (mk3) ibiza has a vw 1.4 mpi engine (same as a 6n2 mk5 polo) which is a brilliant engine but it's got a reputation of destroying gearboxes (might as well be made of cheese) as i know, broke three of them.

Sorry to be a kill joy but that's not the Same engine.

There are two forms of vag 1.4 8v fitted with Multi Point Injection at the time. One for the skoda fabia which was based on the felicia 1.3 which was over head valve and was only fitted to the mk1 Fabia. The other was a VW 1.4 MPI 8v with a single over head cam. Designed by VW and was fitted in the ibiza and polo from the late 90s through to around 2003/04. Both were axed by the euro 3 or 4 emissions. And replaced with the 1.2 3 cylinder engine as the budget option

I would be very surprised if the gearboxes were identical with a similar bell housing stud pattern.

I maybe wrong but I don't think they are the same gearbox

Do you have the trasmission code for the ibiza?

Got a feeling you're right there; wasn't that the last Skoda made engine used by Skoda? A really old design block going back to the sixties or something like that?

Exactly that. The 1.3 from the felicia is the same basic 130/136 engine from the "proper skodas" and dates well back in to prehistoric times but, it worked and was a good lump. So why change it? Damn euro regulations!!

Very true, All that happened was Audi took the 1.3 bored it out to 1.4 and then tweaked other aspects such as ECU and the hydraulic tappets for the valve clearances. 

 

There was also the 1.0 MPI but that was only in LHD markets. 

Meanwhile, back on topic...

Rather than messing about, you should just sell it to me.

It'll happen in the end anyway so let's just hurry up and get it on the scene now.
