sounds good to me! i was looking at the civic sport, but i think now i really need a nice laid back diesel that can do many miles to a tank

Hi there i used to have a skoda fabia 1.4mpi, then changed to a honda civic coupe. Could do with a diesel now really, off to look at a fabia vrs 54 reg with about 55,000 on the clock. Anything to look for or check? I know of the problem with the washer jet leaking. What is the problem with the back door seals? How many miles do you do to a tank? 500? i was struggling to get 350 in the honda. Cheers Dan

I may one day swing back to a vrs i was considering them but i thought ive got one allready and didnt want another for a while. Honda suits my needs better, and i would have still found it hard to get over the price of diesel, thanks again guys dan

leaving the skoda behind :(, bought a honda civic coupe . The skoda did me well shame it didnt have much power. Thanks for the help you guys have given me on here with my problems. Dan

It must be, how easy is it for you to hide it for forward facing speed cameras? you know how stupid police are, do you for anything. Sold as show use only?

yeah nice and illegal! its not worth the hassle, you know what its like these days especially advertising it on here :thumbdwn:

yep vcds!, my m8 took of my air bag light that had come up, had to have a nice play! i like to see 130+ off 1.4! that would be impossible. im sure i can trick some of my other friends its to easy to tell though with no mileage being displayed

them aerials are spot on, i had one and i had s*** all reception and it cost £6, not even worth it! but the standard back on

how much does skoda charge to get it reset then?

My airbag light has been on for a while from when my battery went flat, will this affect the airbag in a way lets say if i had an accident would it still go off? Dan

i dont like them at all! to say there are only 100 well there are loads round here in lincolnshire, where the 888s are made, and all the other astra's are commen as **** :(

nope there defo 17s, thats what tyres he has on them. and there defo 5 stud

no them pictures are off his car just i cut the rest off as i dont think he would want his car posted on forums. they are 17inch 5x100. yes i know you can get them in 4x100 in 17inch but ive never seen them in 5x100 ive asked him and he just has them bolted straight on no hub adaptors.

yes your right there alex. but im trying to work out what are these then still bbs rc? but just a different set?

well they are 5x100 17inch think he uses 205/45/17 well see i carnt remember how badly they are curbed i need to see them again in person think there genuine havent seen the bbs stamps yet here are some pictures but im sure the fronts are worse since these have been taken

Hi my friend is selling me his bbs rc alloys but there kerbed very badly the front to, and will need a good amount of work and filling on them. how much do you reckon i should offer? that back 2 look in quite good condition. Dan

tyre size does make a BIG difference, i went from a 195/45/15 to a 195/50/15, the car now drives so much better it doesnt follow the road as much trying to tramline anymore! and it soaks up the bumps better, improved the ride now end, a worthy mod!

Hi Does anyone know the diameter of the exhaust on the skoda fabia 1.4mpi? ive try looking into this but ive had no look yet. Anyone know of the top of there head or where i can find this info out? Regards Dan

Do what paddy joe says! i basically did that, fitted golf mk4 steelies 15inch and put on some toyo proxies, yeah it does look **** and people say err steelies. But i have a much better handling car and i have the option of putting trims back on if i like. Cost me £20 for the steelies without tyres and £160 for 195/45/15 proxies best ive had so far.

the bloke that started this thread is a tool end off! need to lock the thread! it will end up in constant arguing

well they claim to lower the front and rear 40mm but i wont know until i get them on. Right ill think ill buy when of them tools from vw/skoda to spread the hub. Would you guys recommend on me cutting the bumpstops the same way you have done on your vrs? i just thought while there off i should give it a go and kill two birds with one stone, as its 40mm drop do you think it will be worth it, to avoid a choppy ride as u get with the eibach's? or does this not apply to koni springs? Regards Dan
