  1. It boosts and pulls but I looked at the stats and the TT weight in at approx 1.5t so it's no light weight. And yes I appreciate the above 4 thing. I have driven and owned lots of quick cars over the years inc sti type r Impreza. Focus st 225 stage 2. Etc and I'm really impressed with the Fabia. I know it probably feels faster than it is but the speedo doesn't lie...
  2. Hi just thought I'd post my experience on here. I currently have a hybrid vrs running 230bhp 340lb ft. I have just bought a mk1 Audi TT 225. On test drive it felt absolutely flat. It was boosting but I did expect a little more. I'm even considering a rolling road to see what power it's making. Has anybody else had a similar experience jumping out of a tuned Fabia into something else and feeling somewhat underwhelmed???
  3. Hi all Tried to find the correct seat base bolts for mk1 Fabia vrs. Could anybody on here send a link for the correct bolts needed. Thanks in advance for your replies
  4. Anybody know where I can source a tin from?? I'm after OE green to freshen up my clippers. Can't find any on my searches eBay etc
  5. Great comments. Common sense needs to be applied a little. I even heard of insurers not paying out due to a different set of 6 x 9 speakers!!!
  6. Since 1997 until now I have owned 20 or so cars. My top 5 are 1. Clio 1.8 16 valve. (Valver) loved this car. 95 m reg williams blue with leather. 2. Impreza sti type r. 350bhp special car 3. Clio 172 phase 1. Owned 2 of these . one in year 2000 brand new and one now. Fantastic cars 4. Fabia vrs x2 great cars currently own once now. 5. Nova 1.4sr first ever car back in 1997. At the time it was pretty special
  7. I wonder how many of us are actually covered 100% by the book. I have declared all of my performance enhancing (power mods) and brakes, wheels and suspension and still feel like an assessor could still scrutineer my car and deem it uncovered. Anybody any experience or possibly been caught out for not declaring mods and anybody willing to admit to not declaring??
  8. Less of the wise cracks I'm only 5 minutes away from you!!!
  9. Thanks for your comments. The 3 piece clutch kit is £136 so not too bad. Might just get a Sachs and be done with it.
  10. Totally my fault before I get abuse. I attempted a second gear launch in my hybrid vrs running 230/342lb ft. Clutch was a luk dmf and luk clutch kit. Prior to this the clutch as been spot on for 14k miles or so since new. The clutch is now slipping on high boost. I'm currently trying to drive steady for a few hundred miles to see if it beds back in. Ques. If the clutch is goosed what part in particular is likely to need replacing if not all. Any advice will be kindly appreciated. Regards
  11. Thanks that seems reasonable. Any ideas on the clutch he uses. I.e is it branded??
