Sitting around the 22 MPG mark at the moment, that's all town driving though giving it a bit here and there. I reckon after about 70 or 80 MPH it would be game over for the vRS in a drag race and if corners were involved it wouldn't stand much of a chance really.

No mods, just tidying it up at the moment, do you know when cambelt needs changing? One thing it doesn't have is the same amount of shove when you floor it, I reckon my old mapped vRS would match it from 20 - 60. A remap should soon sort that out though!

Its strange I wrote off my previous vRS a few years before (my own fault) and morethan (my insurance company at the time) asked me how much I thought it was worth which I said 5k as that's what I bought it for, and they paid straight out no questions asked! Admiral however appear to be a different story... Anyway's I was saving money for a new car anyway so have taken the plunge and bought myself a 2006 Ford Focus ST-3 which is just in a different league to the vRS (mainly the fuel costs which are turning out to be very interesting!)

My cars now up for sale on the salvage company's website, so tempted to buy it back!! http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=vehicles/V=bidding/R=4921771

Just in case anyone was wondering they wrote it off in the end, repair bill was 4k apparently. They only offered 2.5k initially which I laughed at, eventually with both of us scrolling through autotrader I managed to get it up to 3100. Wasn't allowed to buy the car back apparently against their policy?

Its got a fresh PD150 turbo in it along with a set of JOM coilovers with about 2k mileage on them and a fresh pair of Uniroyal Rainsport 2's on the front - I'm absolutely gutted! Is it worth buying it back off the insurance company if its a write off then?

Yeh I'm fine, this is the second vRS in two years that someone has kindly written off for me, think someones trying to tell me something! What do you guys reckon I'll get off the insurance company? Its done just over 80k, almost FSH, I bought it for 4k and that's what I'm hoping to get back.

Someone rammed into the side of me today, I've attached a pic - what do we reckon? write off?

Yeh I bought a JBL package: ....As you can see it didnt go very well.

I'm looking for recommendations for an audio setup for my Fabia vRS, got about £150 - £200 to play with. The only after market component I have so far is a Sony Head Unit (Sony MEX BT4700U). I'm guessing what I need is: Amp Sub Replacement Front/Back Speakers/Tweeters I have no idea what brands are good or bad or what spec things need to be...Any ideas?

Had mine done there, guy came out to do it so I didn't even have to leave the house! Turbo went about 8k later but whether it was down to the remap I have no idea. It pulls really well to the red line and gets driven quite hard so I knew it would give up eventually.

Yep I am, turbo went about 5k miles later, whether it is related I have no idea, did drive it pretty hard though. Replaced with a PD150 turbo now which (I hope) is much stronger.

Whats the limit on the Mondeo ones, I don't really go lower than 40mm tbh

Would really appreciate a reply on this, need to order asap to get my fabia back in action!

So would these be ok: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Ford-Mondeo-3-10-00-Stabiliser-Drop-Links-Front-/300659244481?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4600affdc1#ht_2117wt_1396
