The benefits of the 888 weren't just the power & torque figures, it's the fact that (at the time of release) for the same, or less, money of a comparable Petrol 'Hot Hatch', you were getting a similarly powered, higher torqued, more economical car, but one with a properly sorted Chassis, prepped and set up by 888 Racing/Engineering, who ran and prepared the Vauxhall BTCC Cars at the time, so as standard kit you were seeing Uprated Shocks and Springs incorporating a 30mm Drop, 18" Team Dynamics Lightweight Wheels, TOYO Proxes T1-R Tyres and Grooved 335mm Discs with 888 Branded Alcon 4-Pot Calipers.

P/No's Required - Badge and Clips
djgritt replied to djgritt's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Clips are, yeah, cheers Badge, No. -
I need the P/No. for the Skoda Badge on the Pre-F/L Grilles - can anyone help please? Also, require the part number for the Engine Cover Clips on a PD170 vRS My car ends is life with me within a month, and i need to refit the engine covers and a chrome grille before it goes.... Cheers

Does anyone who has fitted these to the lower grill thought about the possibility of needing to whip them trim off to access the towing eye point? Or have you left enough slack etc to allow the trim to be removed easily and positioned out of the way in the event of needing a tow?

Sorry to sound dumb, as i haven't looked, but... Is the Facelfit vRS definitely available to order yet? Mine is due for replacement pretty sharpish, and need to order a replacement car by the 24/08 - my car provider is currently giving me prices for the pre-facelift (can tell by the options, no xenons with AFS, no MF Steering wheel, etc) I can't get an idea as to whether the facelift is a viable option as the prices i'm getting aren't for it! haha Maybe its my provider lapsing a little and not being up to date...

I have a friend who has 3x Current Skoda Flip Keys The 3-Button type They are from vehicles which have been salvaged and scrapped (he has them from work, along with numerous others for other brands too) - as a result the Blades are obviously no use, but the remote will work if recoded, and i'm sure the blades could be swapped to good, usable ones How much would these keys be worth each? Roughly?

Nothing at my Local Dealer either - I need info sharpish to be able to decide whether to order one or not! Only got a couple of months to get my order sorted too...

TRACKDAY! 6 mile circuit on M.O.D base - 7th June!
djgritt replied to devonutopia's topic in Track Day Action
The All-Weather diving circuit at Bovington is awesome - I used to live there, and often was involved in the Rally they held there annually Its not an RAF Base - It's the UK Armour Centre - the Majority of Armoured Vehicle Training is carried out here, as well as vehicle trials etc If i saw this sooner, I would have signed up, may be a little late notice for me, and i'm only half hour away! Bugger! -
Damn it, these look the b**llocks...

Good god. Surely you meant to put 'these look Gash'? lol -
I have it quite often on the track to our farm - just stop, bang it in reverse, give it some beans and shome heavy braking then carry on - always worked for me in releasing the stones from the Caliper or Disc ****e Shield.

I was running T1Rs on my Track Cavalier - Best Tyre i could find for the job i wanted them to do without looking at road legal cut-slicks...
