Phil's Fabia 1.8t Build Thread (ex 1.2 12v)

Recommended Posts

Finally after weeks of searching i have found the perfect car to start my project.
Not the car i had hoped to use, but finding a saloon within budget that wasn't a dog is quite hard.
It's a Gold 2006 1.2 12v beast with 64 bhp quite possibly perfect for me.
I will update with pictures as i move along with the build..

:devil:

Current state..

If you wanted a Saloon I have one that's had minor damage back and front you could have had for the £150 it cost me.

 

I was me who messaged you the other night on facebook about it, by the time i had sorted it and VIC check etc and got it home it will have been above my budget really.

 

I should have mentioned my budget.. £1000 to get the Fabia running with the 1.8 20vt.

Once it's in and running i plan on making it a reliable 300+bhp for track days and it will still be a sleeper look.

 

Can't wait to get it home tonight and get started  :notme:

BJX initially, but i have an AUQ spare for rebuilding. So with the AUQ i will probably get a lot of goodies then drop it in at a later date.

I want it to be reliable at high power, i'm not after willy waving figures just a well setup track/road car.

Whats the difference? I'm not at that stage yet haha I need to stop buying things i don't need.

completely different all together. the golf platform brackets won't even fit between the chassis legs. Polo ones are very hard to come by as Bossfox and myself found out, unless you have a complete donor car

no different all together as are the engine and gearbox mounts. Mounts/ brackets are the same across a platform (for each engine type) but are not interchangeable between platforms so a golf AGU 1.8t for will fit a octy or a tt but not a ibiza or a polo unless you have the correct brackets

I've used an Ibiza FR as a donor, so for the time being i'm sorted.

Only things i know i need are fuel lines as the connectors were poor so left them in the car, and coilovers.

I'm 90% sure i have everything else to get everything in and running.

I've been pestering Trevor for a few weeks asking millions of questions :)

Few more pictures on the Fabia. Had it running and drove it, no issues with the engine. Only fault code was missfire on cyl1. Cleared and never came back.

Rather than get it in the garage i decided to tidy up.. Got some socket tidy things.

So won't the brackets/mounts from the Ibiza FR fit the AGU when he comes to plonk that in?

Few pictures of the Ibiza FR donor car. Bought it with a blown turbo.. Replaced the turbo and it ran fine.

Ibiza shell has now gone and all parts stored. Only thing left on the Ibiza was rear beam (I bought another of DanHarper) and handbrake. Everything else is in the garage ready to swap over onto the Fabia.
