  1. Yes, they were purchased for my hatchback. Brand new never fitted
  2. I have 40mm Front and Rear H&R Springs for sale MKII VRS
  3. I have a whiteline but havent got round to fitting it yet. If I remember, I will post a picture once its on. Its just finding the time thats the problem!
  4. It's not worth it for me as I won't be using it for rallying lol!
  5. Thanks very much. Think I will give it a miss -I will go for a front ARB to match my rear one. Thanks!
  6. Anyone know if the Weichers strut brace is any good? Can't find any alternative strut braces around.
  7. I should have been more clear -thirstier than a non turbo'd car with the sameish engine size. Naturally thirsty might have been a bit excessive
  8. I have had my 2010 CAVE engined vRS for over 6 months. I am 21, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the insurance quotes -very cheap! Tax is also cheap as you will know. In terms of oil, mine has used a lot in the first 6 months, about 3 litres over 8,000 miles to be precise. I got it at 17,000 miles with full service history, not from a main dealer. Chap had 2 other skoda's though, and it has been faultless. I drove it back down from Newcastle after it had been sat stationary for months -went like a dream. I would thoroughly recommend a vRS, of any engine spec. To be honest I think that some people can be overly cautious, but as people have said above things can go wrong. It is best to do your research on the car, and if it's from a private seller, try to understand how he has looked after the car. In terms of driving they are absolutely brilliant, reliable, fun and joyous to name but a few adjectives. My oil issue has now started to clear up from what I can see, since I have been driving it more regularly and topping it up with the good stuff. They are naturally thirsty cars, after all they are twin charged, but you get your money back through insurance and tax! Factor it in as a yearly/monthly cost of the car and you will be fine. Don't forget to use high octane petrol -none of the cheap stuff! I hope it goes well
  9. Hi, this didn't happen to have a RARB FARB or strut brace fitted did it?
  10. Thanks, no I haven't removed the rear ballast yet. I have h&r lowering springs on at the moment
  11. Hi, just wondering who makes the best RARB for the mk2 fabia vRS -and where I can find them. Thanks
  12. Just wondering if anyone has a RARB for a mk2 Fabia vRS for sale? Thanks
  13. No warranty. CAVE engine. December 2010. What dampers would you recommend?
  14. Got ya. I just got some H&R's for a decent price, so will fit them myself. Eibach's would have been nice as they are (as I've now found out) approved by Skoda. On the plus side 40mm drop for a bargain price isn't bad at all! Thanks for the info
  15. Okay cool, thanks mate. Whilst you're here...what oil do you use? I've heard 5W40 Fully synth?
  16. Hi Just wondering if the standard Golf R32 MK4 calipers, discs and pads are a direct swap for the MK2 VRS? I want more stopping power, but don't want to be faffing around with spacers etc. Thanks
  17. Hi Just wondering if anyone knows if Eibach are approved by Skoda, or whether this is just a myth? Thanks!
