I have the same problem, except I clipped a cerb, took a chunk out of the tyre and it pulls left a bit too much now aswell, new tyres on the front this weeks and off to get the tracking done, I'm sure that'll sort it... I think.
-
The vRS seats are fairly similar shape to recaros, I know there not the same but close enough for a vRS, hold you in nicely i think...
-
I agree, with walkie, like to keep the revs above 1800 so you have the torque power when you need it, whatever gear satisfies that... better to be in control, avoiding small children and rabbits, oh and cats too, and other random stuff like that...
-
Those circular Audi A3 ones look nice, not sure what they are called.
-
I agree, but only cause I dont have it!

The black ones look nice an a black vRS me thinks. I actually saw some silver ones for sale... wait for it... in my local skoda stealer for

Except my 04 vRS doesn't have the extra wipe at the front.. boo. Can this be altered by VAG?

use bicarbonate of soda with water, it washed of with ease, cheap and effective.

I dont mean to be funny but my neighbour has a lexus, and the person living down stairs, and the only similarilty is that they are round, like many other cars lights, but they look nothing like the standard lexus lights. Just look at a lexus next time you see one, they have one large red light in the middle and sectioned indicators and stuff round the outside. Just labled lexus style lights because the rounded shap has proven to be a popular design, just look at the back of a ferarri, they have round lights, like many other cars... the list is long, all have different configurations of concentric shapes though.
I think they are ok, they are growing on me... slowly... lots more to do though...

The vynl shop it hink, cant remember the site, but they will sell them individually...

Briskoda sticker from group buy on here about a year ago.
Lights from ebay, they are always there on a nine day loop. They fit really well, i was surprised. Had loads of looks driving through central london last night.
I like them, although I understand they are not for everyone.

Got them into my gallery, finally... not sure if you can link members galeries to the post?
Also, does the vrs have 2 rear fog lights or one?

Well, did it yesterday, but got too drunk to post piccies last night
Got SWMBO to trake photo half way through job to compare the two units, but she thought that I meant just take photos of the new one (as you do), so out of all the photos the one posted was the best that happened to get both lights in... by accident
Then other photos are after cleaned to see if they are water tight, gave them a good spray with the hose and they are ok so far.
Tried to take photos with phone last night with lights on but didnt come out so left them out, I guess youll just have to drive behind me at night some time to see them in action
Trying to put photos in here, but saying they are too big when they are minute, will put them in gallery in a mo...

Right I'm going to get some to, better when seats stored if removed for extra luggage, protectors.
-
Definately a vast improvement on the stock seats, now to convince skoda to change mine for me... i'd be soooo lucky!!
-
Nice... both for you...
-
The PD 160 intake is bigger that the the standard one do a search and youll see it...
-
I'd really like rear electric windows in my vRS, but seem like an expensive after market job...
-
Me to, springs first, see how that is then maybe later dampers to, seems that some poeple on here have reported good things about having just the springs.
-
Orderd the lower ones today that look suspisiously like the milotek ones, pics to follow this next weekend when cleaned... yey.
-
Then also to improve handling, lower it, either springs, or springs and coilovers/dampers or similar products, ebach do a good set up, maybe a seat strut brace or 4 to tighten up the car, 17" wheels and lower profile tyre which help a bit, maybe an anti roll bar or 2.
Of course not forgetting all the exterior mods, badging, lights, tinted windows, silver vision bulbs to replace the orange ones, front grills, rubbing strips, of course all this is down to your personal taste.
Then interior stuff; leather interior, ice - ooo, lets not go there for now but that could be anything you choose.

I think its a good idea to do all your engine modifications first, then take it to get a phase 2 remap which is based on the modifications you have undertaken and taylored to your driving style and your engine:
PD160 Intake
Green Filter
Sports/tuned exhaust
Front mounted intercooler (FMIC)
Then let all that settle down, run the car in a bit and then get it remapped.
Seems to me maybe a good way to get the best results.
Just speak to the dealer where you get it serviced regarding the warantee issues and see what they say some dealer don't mind some do. They will be happy to explain all. Oh yeah and just make sure your insured wouldn't want to end up with any issues with your insurance should the worst happen.
Have fun.
