    More than that mate £3000 for 215bhp / £4000 for 250bhp thats just for the BHP.

    Then youve got the transmission, brakes, ARB, suspension etc...

    To sum it all up your looking at a grand total of £9000 to make it a seriously fast car but its worth it in my opinion if you like being an underdog.

    £9000, so thats where all my money went :eek:

    I was flicking through some receipts in my fabia folder the other day..... wish i had the money now :o

    some of the above have the 280mm brakes, but the only difference is the discs and the caliper hanger, the calipers are the the same

    None of you will beat my battenburged Focus with light bar and flashing headlights though!!

    I suppose you would win with that ;)

    Looking very sleek and sexy :)

    Thanks :D

    Haha, they have never seen primer color. primer isnt metallic :P

    John that looks ace ! :)

    How did you get on with the Black hole ?

    Got a bottle here but never tried it yet.

    Really good stuff Ive found. Goes on easy, buffs off easy too.

    I find it blends the swirls nicely without the use of a mechanical polisher. Lasts too if you cover it with a choice wax :D

    Overall its really good, brings out the gold flake in the paint nicely.

    Do many people think you are an undercover policeman, by the way? I would - black Volvo S40 looking immaculately clean.. bet you don't get any bother on the motorways ;)

    It was better when i didnt have the private plate on.

    the xenons help too in the dark as they have a very blueish tint to them :D

    My hi viz jacket works a treat though ;):rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Its actually funny really. People who arnt paying attention fly past then out of the corner of their eyes they see a "volvo" and slam on!!?

    Fast lane hoggers move out of the way too which is a bonus.

    How the hell do you get an ovloV to look so good?

    Come and show it off this coming Thursday :)

    Thanks :D

    They are good cars out of the factory and only need subtle changes :thumbup:

    I am really chuffed with it, I havent broken it......... much ;)

    Over In my opinion a good solid car that will shift when it wants to and also looks ok too.

    Soaks up the mileage nicely too.

    I might make an apperance at the malt but its all down to the weather really :(

    Stage 3 advice PLEASE!

    my 2p worth (actually it'll cost a bit more than that):

    SEAT front brace

    Forge FMIC (ask for a quote on an extra large custom one like Dave's old car (shifty)

    Ditch the EGR valve, block off the turbo (Allard's pipe with block-off plate)

    Turbo Dynamics Stage 2 turbo

    Uprated injectors (from apdiesels.com) - buy a set outright and flog your old ones on ebay...

    Tuning by Richard Washbrook (Oscarli.com) - he knows his stuff, will map out the CEL from the EGR delete and has identically remapped mine and Mr Grumpy's Skip...Remapping the uprated injectors is tricky, Dave had some probs until Rich sorted him out...

    That list should ensure you get some serious quality bhp. You may need to be careful booting it with the DMF still in there....

    If you can do the work yourself you'll save quite a bit.

    HTH

    Bas

    Mr Washbrook mapped my car too :D Cracking map and really nice bloke too :thumbup:

    Stage 3 advice PLEASE!

    Am back now to offer my advice.

    Dont get the forge Fmic, Its expensive and small i found.

    Get the turbo dynmaics stage 2 garrett, the one based on the gt1749vb, same as what i had

    clutch wise you might be ok with the sach one you ahve now, i had the same clutch and it withstood 381lbft nicely,

    injectors i wouldnt bother with.

    Mine made 248bhp on stealths rollers then we turned it down to 229bhp and it was just as quick.

    Quick enough to keep up wiht an m3 but you wont be passing them.

    Incidently i had a go in one the other night, my god they are machines!

    save your money and buy an m3 :P

    Stage 3 advice PLEASE!

    Hi guys...

    Ok I want to get my Furby up to the standard where the big boys play. Around the 250BHP mark will suffice.

    Everything is standard apart from the list below

    Ive got this done so far

    • PD160 intake + Green panel filter
    • Sachs Organic clutch
    • Jabba ARB
    • Lowered on KW V1 coilovers
    • 312mm brake upgrade
    • Currently remapped
    • 17" spiders (white ill have you know)
    • Cupra splitter

    I think I need a Hybrid turbo, FMIC, Exhaust system, SMF, LSD and possibly larger injectors.

    OH.... one other thing. How can some people that tune their Furbys get up to 140 150mph. Do some of the Furbys have different gear boxes or something?????? Im very confused on this one. Mines a 05 REG if that helps anybody explain it to me.

    Your honest open opinion is very welcome on this matter as I trust you guys more than SWMBO but dont tell her that lol :D:thumbup:

    Tbh i wouldnt bother

    i aint got time to explain right now lol but ill come back later on :thumbup:

    At what point have I been arrogant?

    :rolleyes:

    Well I have got a HND and Degree in Automotive Engineering. I've spent the last 7 years working as a Design Engineer for several Tier One Automotive Companies and my weekend toy is a 600bhp Skyline engined 200sx which I built myself . . . so chances are your right. :rofl:

    Not really arogant, more of "In your face i am better than you" Which to be honest frustrates the hell out of me.

    I have a degree too, as does a very large percentage of the people here on briskoda.

    At the end of the day it doesnt matter. The srings are wrong. Its nearly as bad as buying springs for a 1960 series 2a landrover and making them fit onto a 1971 volkswagen beetle................... now theres an idea if i ever had one...... a 4x4 beetle :D

    Anyway back on topic..... Ok you want to try, fair play to ya. Just dont ask the question again and feel all defensive when the answer isnt what you wanted to hear.

    Now lets all be freinds and have done with it.

    Btw to the OP, nice polo :thumbup:
