I ran 225/45/17 tyres for ages. No problems whatsoever and the fuel consumption was no different. But just because they're 225 means nothing. You need to know the width, the size, the offset and also the other tyre stats before you could make the guess they will fit.

This did for me. GTI Edition 30 in the best colour! Utterly fantastic in every way.

How do mate! If the manifold gasket has gone a good a chance as any to get all the exhaust swapped! That mani back from the port and polish yet? In my ownership it never had to have any hoses changed, so it may have got to that point in it's life. That dyno plot looks fairly consistent though...maybe it is the fueling just not being turned up enough! If I can help at all Mankee give me a shout.

Black, Silver with unpainted bumper trims looks pants.

Car is now sold, thanks.

If you go to Skoda with the registration, chassis number and everything they will know if it was one! It would be linked to the chassis number. Like with Golf GTI Edition 30s, and other special editions. VW can confirm it depending on the chassis number. Give it a go!

Lovely car that! I was extremely close to ordering basically the same car but in the Charcoal grey colour. Test drove 3 different varieties! Jealous! But didn't want to get some of the first ones out so bought an Edition 30 in the end. Any plans for the car or just keeping it standard?

Hell yes Venoms! Haha. I would just for the sake of it.

Take a look at my mk1 for sale mate. Link is in my signature. Great cars and can fit tons in! Having said that though I have moved from mine to Golf GTI Edition 30 as I've always been a Golf man. It's the sameish chassis as the mk2 Octy and I'd say it is indeed better. But mine is a top spec Edition 30 DSG so I'd be very peeved if it wasnt! For the price and practicality wise you can't beat the mk1 VRS Octavia.

If you want to get in touch with me to do with the car then please do call or text as I won't be able to reply to my threads or PM's for a week. Bump.

Sorry mate! Have been working solid. It's around the 220bhp mark. It shifts well and the torque is in the right places. But like I say it's nearly stage 2 ready so 250bhp isn't far off with the bits I mention.

If it's a mk1 Octavia, no. Mk2 is similar but then it depends on what strut size the kit has. As there are 50 or 55mm front struts for mk5 Golf platform cars. So you'll need to do more research!

Mine are an earlier set and have a lapbelt instead. But hasn't ever bothered me!

I've got a full set of Mk4 leather Recaros in mine. Same as Robs but I've got the rear seats in too. :p bloody nice!

It wasn't a Juke R. Not a chance, it'll have been the Nismo one which is still crap.

Slightly forgot about that picture i offered, bit late but here yer go.

Bump.

Still for sale bud yep!

I managed to get a pair of Continental Sport Contact 2's from Mytyres for 158 quid delivered! Admittedly SC2's are an older tyre so it will have been old stock but doesn't mean they're not amazing! Just a heads up if you can still get any before they sell out!

For which Ferry is that mate? Booking Dover - calais in the next week.

Cheers buddy. It's what i've done, having your cake and eating it! Haha. I've got my Corrado and Mk2 GTI for toys and my Edition 30 Mk5 GTI as my sensible daily, even though its faster than both. She just needs a new home as i don't have space for 5 cars in the household! She will be missed though.

If it was a Galaxy, most likely it will have been Armed Response or Terrorism related. They have them of that age usually with the V6 engines as they're fast enough and can carry a lot of kit/people quickly.

Bumpety bump. Still here and waiting for a new owner!

I'm driving into Europe again in November, did a full Euro trip in September and it costs more than flying but is far more fun. Plus you don't get lumbered with a **** hire car. Toll roads are my biggest peeve in France, yes the roads are good but some sections you're paying 24 Euros to use! I nearly slapped the guy when he asked for that much! Depends on what route you take though as you can avoid them but it'll take longer. I just tend to go Dover - Calais, then get out of France as quick as possible.

And I thought I had too many cars! Whats the plans for it? Mental drag strip screamer?
