  1. I had mine done when i had my vrs, i think it looked alot better looked more modern IMO here's a pic
  2. Standard airbox and filter in mine, runs well and pulls really strong.
  3. Honda integra dc5 always fancyed one of them but they are still quite expensive or a corrado vr6 turbo wish I had the money and knowledge to carry out the work myself, but a vr6 turbo would be a lot of fun
  4. Aye that's what I thought mike, my car was boosting at 10psi untill I switched it off, was like I had lost the remap and the car was back to standard, well weird
  5. Had the vrs down to edinburgh and experienced a weird issue with it just as I was leaving my house. As I was climbing a steep hill in 5th gear I lost power, car was only making 10psi on the boost gauge( I don't know if that classifys as limp mode or back to standard) it was like I had lost my remap. I had no warning lights or anything, I stopped and checked the coilpacks etc. Switched the car off and I was running back on remap boost peaking at 19psi. Car drove perfect for the next 160miles to edinburgh. I didn't have my code reader with me so couldn't check for faults but as I say the car pulled well in all gears for the rest of the journey. The car hasn't been driven really in the last 2 weeks could it possibally just be a sticky injector or something as its been sat for a couple of weeks, was very weird, ill scan for faults when I get home on sundayy just wondering if anyone had any ideas. Coilpacks were replaced last year with the recall.
  6. Best colour, kind of the same look as my vrs black wheels I have the bump strips colour coded and the grill black though, Looks spot on though mate
  7. Same with my car (52 vrs) it sits all week and gets used a wee bit at weekends. It puts out a lot of white smoke untill its about to temp after about 10minutes of running. Just put it down to it sitting all week and this colder weather we are having just now. Dosnt use any coolant and there is no mayo etc
  8. Standard valve and standard airbox for me, my compbrake one was faulty as it was leaking somwhere so just stuck my original one on and its been fine
  9. Yeah I didn't want to go ott with the styling mods plus the paintwork is in great conditon for a 9 year old car, but the thought of a wrc spoiler has got me thinking....
  10. Hmmmm to fit a wrc spoiler or not to fit a wrc spoiler that is the questiom haha. Opinions on wrc spoiler's guys? Would it look good on my car or daft. Paul
  11. Never thought about the wrc spoiler,could be an idea
  12. Was out for a sunday drive this morning and rememberd to take my camera so i have taken a few snaps of the car. Not really done much to the car recently apart from fitting some phillips xtreme headlight bulbs and putting a fresh mot on her, was really chuffed with the mot only required a headlamp to be alligned which was great. Still plan to fit a RARB at some point but ill be attempting to replace my drivers seat base as the bolster is starting to look a bit tired hopefully get round to ordering the base next week Anyway here are some pics of the car
  13. Lee, i have a blueflame exhaust and a revo map was mapped by a revo dealer in inverness. No your right i couldnt find a rolling road up here so went down to edinburgh to see what power she was making, only made 182bhp because i then found out i had a boost leak, replaced the pipes under the manifold and it now pulls really well very impressed with the map. Wallace performance in aberdeen have a rolling road aswell i think they mapped my mates fabia vrs. Are you still planning fitting a k04 turbo to your vrs mate? PM me next time your in and about inverness and ill keep an eye out for your car Thanks for the kind comments mate, yeah i went for subtle mods for the look of the car don't think vrs's need much done on the styling front as they are good looking cars imo. I am annoyed with the spliter though made a mess of fitting it (shouldn't of fitted it with a really bad hangover ) was going to whip it off and refit it but i cant honestly be bothered. She flew through an MOT last weekonly needed a headlamp alligned still very impressed with the vrs after owning it for nearly 2 years.
  14. My stage 1 REVO'D vRs hits 18psi and holds at that until about 4.5k and tails off to about 15 psi. Been impressed with the revo map its very smooth and pulls really well.
