Hi Scott, I've been running stage 2 on my vrs for 18months now, according to dyno 289bhp/330ftlb and it's still on standard clutch. I know I don't do big miles but does get driven enthusiastically and have done a couple of trackdays at Oulton Park. Car has done 68k.

H&R -35mm on my 06 vrs, made a big difference, still a decent ride aswel and no issues on speed bumps.

November @ Oulton Park, Open Pitlane Trackday
chief76 replied to Cossie1's topic in Track Day Action
I was there today on a msv day, had a laugh but Jesus, it was wet. Dried off about 3pm but it was a slow and steady pace all day. Didn't help that an MG Maestro dropped its oil on the 2nd sighting lap and proceeded to complete till the pits, you could see the racing line though. Hit and miss with the weather oct/nov but you can still make a day of it. -
Changed mine a few weeks ago, ended up snapping one of the pipes due to previous owner using superglue to secure the pipe to the filter. Cheers mate.

High pressure fuel pump upgrade.
chief76 replied to VRobS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I have looked at the Autotech kit for mine, when I get chance I will defo be fitting that. Garage where I go fitted 1 to an Ed30 a few weeks ago and it made a massive difference mid range. Depends what your budget is, I know it's a good piece of kit but the Loba pump just seems way too expensive. -
Probably a bit late now, but i fitted them to my mk1 octavia VRS when I had it, done a track day at Oulton Park and they just took it all day. Still fitted to the car now 2 years later which I gave to my sister and they still feel great.

Ticking noise from under dashboard.
chief76 replied to mdbirtles's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Yeah..... My vrs does this too, I just tell people it's a borrower in the dash trying to get out. Tend to zone it out now. -
Don't know how much to fit on the mk2 but I priced it at Alex lawrie skoda in Liverpool when I had my mk1 vrs and they wanted £120 all in. Didn't think that was too bad.

I use riverside-racing in Liverpool, not far from the airport. Good bunch of lads.
-
Sits well, been looking at the H&R's also.

Lightly modified Octavia vRS 1.8T power run
chief76 replied to Mankee's topic in Performance & Tuning Upgrades
My mk1 vrs with a more-bhp stage1 map made 213bhp (more-bhp told me it should make between 210-215bhp) on an independent dyno, and when I went to stage2, revo software, milltek turbo back system and Forge induction kit, sadly standard intercooler it done 223bhp/240lbft before heat soak did get the better of it though. -
Riverside racing in Liverpool are a good bunch of lads, looked after my 06 VRS for the last 18months and my 1.8T VRS for 2 years before that. Can't fault them and they are also revo dealer and sorted me out for stage 2 on both cars.
-
My mates garage in liverpool is a revo dealer. VAG & FORD. Give them a bell if you still need sorting out. Vanquish Performence - 0151 486 9838 not far from the jag/land rover factory.

Dont buy Autogrip F107 tyres. Any recomendations?
chief76 replied to bunnerz4's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Standard size is 205/50/17 which i think work well. I'm sure i've seen 225/45's fitted also, but this aint my field so just went standard. -

chief76 replied to bunnerz4's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I'm currently running Hankook V12 EVO's on the front of the vrs, bought them in feb and can't fault them. Although, decent grip on the front and running tracmax on the rear (previous owner) i do get some nice angles coming round wet roundabouts. Had Kumho ecsta ku31's on my old 325i Sport and loved them, 2 ring trips, trackday @ oulton park and about 6 drift days at oulton and there was still life in them when i sold it 6 weeks ago. -
seen these a while ago, dont know a thing about the quality. http://milotec.de/index.php?cat=c277_Sports-grille---Front-spoiler.html&XTCsid=210e391661a2790bb2a54e2ba67afccf

Audi coilpack recall, turned into official Skoda Recall.
chief76 replied to rk696's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Booked mine in this morning to get done on saturday at alex laurie, aint been in there since i cancelled my mk2 vrs order in 2006. Hope he doesnt hold a grudge. lol -
Hello fudge. hows goes it, about time you got on here.
-
Had a Milltek on my last vRS 5 years ago and couldnt fault it, it was a resonated system turbo back and sounded sweet. Had it on for over a year with no problems. On the Piper system tho, fitted a cat back system to my focus st2 in 2006 and thought the build, noise and quality were great, would defo consider a Piper.

Where can I get a front bumper splitter MK1 octy?
chief76 replied to mountie66's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
fitted mine last week, only mod i done was trim down the 2 center bits to sit flush with the underneath of the bumper, Then went nuts with a load of rivets from motorworld. Looks way better and feels solid, i bought mine from seat just b4 xmas and paid £25. Yeah, straight on mate.
