[Hello, I’m back. Well I kind of never went...]

Some of my previous Skodas, the Fabia vRS is in my garage as a project. The mk2 FL octy vRS is now owned by my parents, only has 35k on it. 

[Hello, I’m back. Well I kind of never went...]

Hi all

Been a member since forever, but went quiet after selling my last Skoda. 

But I’m now back in a Skoda as a daily driver. 

Superb Combi mk2 4x4 170cr which I’ve just had remapped to 200+bhp. 

Not as much poke as my previous car which was a remapped Chrysler 300c V6 diesel. But enjoying the refinement and twice the MPG!

Had a fair few skoda over the years.

[Headlight, what's recommended (standard, nothing fancy)]

I have halfords ultra bright or super bright or whatever their 'top range' one is claimed 120% brighter and to be fair I can't fault them, very minor blue tiny around where the light is emitted in the lens other than that glorious white light Nd currently BOGOF in halfrauds

[Roofracks. Talk to me]

Basically, whilst I appreciate its a weird question I was wondering if anyone knew if the skoda roof racks from a mk1 superb will fit my mk1 octy vRS hatchback?

Cheers Simon

[show me your spyders]

I'll chuck gloss black into the equation! please excuse the flouro pink covers......

[My Dropped Octy]

love the octy! looks spot on! :p

[rear shock advice]

agree with mbames, as said put a trolley jack under so you can jack up the bottom to the correct height blah blah, should be pretty simple 10minute job!

[look at the state of my vrs..]

Im really gutted for you mate! absolute oxygen thieves with the joint brain capacity of an OXO cube! it makes me sick aswell to think people could do this aswell!

[Octavia front arb]

im no mechanic, but my mate (vw tech) who fitted my coilies and 22mm front arb didnt struggle to do it at all, but was up on a ramp took him a few hours to do the lot! and we changed a front arb on a 9n2 polo gti on the deck, well 2 trolley jacks ..... hope that spurs you to get it done!

[Octavia lowering advice]

.... just buy a new arb aswell!

[Just got her back from the body shop]

thought about a light smoke for mine, but not sure seen it on my mates red leon (which if you squint, lots) looks a bit like mine and thought yea maybe i will lol, not too dark or you'll look like a drug dealer lol

[vrs snow plough]

brilliant! thought mine was a good snow plough, but that wins hands down! haha

[Just got her back from the body shop]

Another vote for RARB and painted grille! looks tough man , kinda wish i'd bought a yellow tbh!

[Help required removing door lock]

My octy vrs did the same but was rear nearside, in the end i took it to skoda as they said there was a fault with the lock and it had siezed?

might wanna try that, as i dont really know what else to suggest, hth

[Front mounts?]

Thanks for the advice guys,

i've decided to give it a go with the kit and if i dont succeed i'll bite the bullet and buy forge!

Just gotta sort out putting on a 'map' sensor into 1 of the pipes??? :wonder:

Hi bodge, yea i do know tony as a matter or fact :yes: yea he's still messing about with mark1's hahaha, he had a fabia on air for a while aswell and a bora 1.8t

[Front mounts?]

HI folks,

im looking at buying a front mount for my mk1 vRS now i've found a kit from a company called 'turborevs' who are selling a kit for £250, now its for a mk4 golf 1.8t AUM engine. my question is will it or will i be able to make it fir my octy?? a friend who works for vw thinks it will but doesnt wanna say 100% for sure! now i know its not gonna be of the same quality as forge, but i refuse to pay the silly amounts they want! lol

thanks Brum

[Driveshaft seems impossible to find!]

Well my driveshaft has gone to a better place

this is leaving me with a problem of finding a new 1! i've ordered 2 now from different autofactors and both have come back as golf mk4 driveshafts which are different so i've been told?

does anyone know of the part number or anywhere else i can find a driveshaft at a decent price TPS want £250 for 1 and im not really in a position to spend that much!!

thanks Brum

[Finally Got The Vrs Decked!]

im going to repaint them the green is a bit chipped and faded, but im repainting them in the skoda green, i really like it actually makes it stand out and be a bit different to all the rude boys who just paint it bright yellow or red or what have you (i know you painted yours red but it looks cool)

next on the agenda, new clutch and solid mass flywheel conversion!

[Finally Got The Vrs Decked!]

got them done at wicked wheels in guildford, surrey. A mate works there so he did at 'mates rates' but they still arent that expensive to do.

theres no sump guard atm, i am very cautious with it but its on the 'to buy' list

thanks guys

[Specialist in Surrey for vRS cambelt change?]
