Hi all ive not posted on here for a while due to the sale of the fab. Decided to get the equity back for a mortgage deposit before i lost too much money on it. I will still keep an eye on the forum and have to say it was an awesome car and very easy to drive fast. But as i live very close to work now and cycle most days the lure of a classic car has caught me and so i bought this Good luck with everyones projects and hope to buy another one in the future as a bit of a project

Finnally had time to take off my coilovers off Here are a couple of pictures

Confide has 18" wheels on his vrs as well i personally think there a little too big to be practical but they do look good. I do agree 19 would be way too big to be useful unless they were really thin. Cant see it helping the handling either. It would be something different though and be interesting to see how it sits on 19s

The wheels will fit mk1 and mk2 everything else is for a mk2 vrs im not sure when they started making the mk2 vrs but they made mk2 fabias from 2007 onwards so it will fit

These are 8" wide 17" diameter ET32 and there is plenty of clearance available and mine is pretty low as im selling my car these wheels are for sale if your interested

Intercooler and roll bar now sold

I could probably straighten it up but its not 100% neccersary and would probably end up snapping it

You would also need new bolts as im using the standard 28mm ones atm

There is a shoulder on the strut that rests on top of the hub which is where it should be. The bracket you can see there was pushed upwards and bent out of shape went the jack went down.

On behalf of my dad im posting his old fabia up for sale its a 1.4 mpi fabia with 101732 miles on the clock it currently has an mot but will run out fairly soon. It has done barely any miles since its last mot we only put the mot on it to part ex for his new greenline but when they told hime they would only give him £300 we decided to keep it. Its had a hardish life and isnt perfect as you can see by the pictures. list of things to do engine runs fine could probably do with a new battery but i can sort that out if need be the alternator bearing could do with replacing as its a bit noisey. otherwise the engine is strong and has had regular oil changes. also power steering isnt perfect we were quoted about £100 for a recon box but didnt come up on the mot to sweeten the deal included in the sale is a set of thule roof bars and a collapsible roof box weve lost the keys to the roof bars currently so cant take them off and a thule boot mounted bike rack both items pretty pricey on there own. could do with money spending on it but looking at other fabias of its age and mileage with everything on it im putting a price of £400 ono dont be afraid to ask Pm me or email me at [email protected]

Ive just stuck my head under the car to have a look and have to say i thought the damage was worse than it is lol but heres the pics of the damage to the coilover srut its the drivers side front strut all the others are as they came out of the box just a bit dirtier i will clean them up and can supply some grease for the threads if need be there not the clearest pictures but anyone who knows what there looking at will see whats wrong. ive been driving them like this for a while now and have had no problems no noises or knocking so there a bit of a bargain really

its a forge carbon cannister air intake

Brake clearance is tight on the vrs and you will need the 5mm spacers but they will be included in the sale i really wont accept lower than £350 collected for them as i would quite like to keep them pics to follow. No pics of the coilovers or intercooler yet as i havent taken them off the shot above is about as good as i can get of the intercooler

Im not sure but it is a fair bit bigger im waiting for an email from forge about specs

I will be taking everything off next weekend. So its all up for grabs as of then Collection preffered as its all pretty bulky but can sort out courier if need be at extra cost I live in burton upon trent just off the A38 south of derby de150pb

I did have a dyno plot aparently it makes an extra 13hp and something like 16 torques but id have to email forge to find out. But i dont care much for figures it did feel alot punchier low down and revved higher. And yes i am from burton i think you had the red 6n2 gti if im right. If your interested it would save a lot of petrol or carriage costs lol

As for the prices they are abit cheap but i didnt pay for most of it or got it discounted anyway. And no one wants to spend big money unless its a bargain lol

Ill take some more at the weekend and the one in the pic looks pretty much identical but instead of square cores it has tubular.

The intercooler wont unfortunately and the coils are the weitec hicon gt model

dont know if im allowed to do this but thought id drum up some trade. im looking at selling my Intercooler some alloys an air intake BOV spacer and whiteline bar, there are also some coilovers but check the thread so take a look if your interested

Hi Im looking to sell my vrs so up for sale will be the bits off my car. they are currently still installed so this is just a feeler to gauge interest before removing for sale. First up the first forge intercooler for the mk2 fabia vrs( will also fit Polo GTI) the one on my car is slightly different to this as they found a tubular design gave more gains below is a pic on the car Looking for £300 at least for this as it will be worth £600+ new when released Next up is the forge air intake kit would like offers around £100 for this as its still pretty new. I also have a forge bov spacer £25 posted i think is reasonable for this. Then i have some coilovers they are weitecs however one locating bracket on the drivers side strut is a bit mangled due to the jack dropping whilst installing. i will post pics at a later date. They are safe however and took it to an mot station and was told that it would pass with this damage. The rest are like new struts have been greased regularly and will be cleaned before sale. looking for around £200 as they are £550 new Also I have some calibre vintage wheels 5X100 pcd 17" by 8" wide et35 to fit a vrs the fronts need 5mm spacers which will be included in the sale. £350 with 2 continental tyres on and quite a bit of tread one has a curb mark on it but they are otherwise brand new having only been fitted since march time There is a whiteline rear anti roll bar but it is for a polo 6r gti (22mm i think) it does fit the car and make a big difference but is not quite right for the fabia according to whiteline. offers around £100 PM me or email [email protected] i will need some time to remove the parts but if people have cash in hand and are willing to collect i will remove sooner

I think you may have been slightly unlucky as many ibizas have done that mileage with no problems. its only that we look on forums like these that we know the faults, every other manufacturer has problems we just dont know about them. As for the synchro maybe your driving too fast lol

Ive got the weitecs

I didnt need to modify anything just a straight swap and everything i needed was in the kit. which ones did you go for in the end?

I can vouch for this one as well my dad has had the same one for about 4 or 5 years now still comes off easy enough and still solid. Its a bit of a push to fit three full size mountain bikes on but can fit 3 road bikes no problem
