  1. Engine is fully forged and spec'd to 500bhp, the previous owner whom owned her for the last 11 years was running around 460bhp. As it stands now its back to the standard CT20B turbo at 1.12 Bar pushing approx 320bhp ish. The plan is to get her back up to 400bhp ish which should be a nice safe balance. Craig
  2. Hi All, Well unfortunately the skoda did sell and went to a local VAG guy not far from me whom has already fitted Audi S3 leather and Brembo BBK...... Im going to be working away in Norway alot more so didnt really need the Skoda and decided to get something a little more sporty with 2 seats 1991 MR2 Turbo (fully spec'd up) A little different to the Skoda and handles like a go-kart!!!.... Cheers craig

  4. Hi Guys n Girls, Well nothing much happened over the past month or so other than just looking after the car ect, Ohh and 2 new wheels bearings on the front!. Due to a change in circumstances I have reluctantly decided I'm going sell the wagon! Which is very disappointing after 12 months of ownership and well over £5K spent excluding purchasing the car!... If any of Briskoda members are interested a cheap deal can be arranged! PM Me..... Cheers Craig
  5. *** SOLD SOLD SOLD *** Brand new unused & unfitted 3" MAF P/N: 06A906461MX Complete with silicone reducers plus stainless joining piece. These are a must for all hybrid/Big turbo upgrades. This was bought brand new approx 8 weeks and has never been used, only been fitted with the silicone pipes etc. This cost me £130 + VAT from AUDI dealer and JBS sell these for £168 inc VAT without any silicone joiners. which cost £30.00+. Please PM me. Cheers Craig

  7. Hi All, Top day very pleased I decided to make the journey, was 580+ miles in total! Thanks to Pasty Boy for sorting this out! And bummer about the turbo letting go pal!. Made it back in one piece just! I think both front wheel bearings have gave up the ghost as all the way home we were deffend by a deep rumbling noise!.. I was very impressed with everyone! And couldn't believe how fast some of the Fabia's were! This was my first track day and pleased it was with you guys as a normal day would have been really intimidating for a novice I rekon. I think I took Dave by surprise spinning the car right in front of him at about 65mph ha ha! James I hope I didn't burn your front bumper with flames ha ha! Look forward to seeing the vid pal! Cheers Craig
  8. Well last few double checks.... Erm checked! Will be leaving the toon! (Newcastle) about 2pm the day and heading to Milton Ernest where are hotel is, this this place is like 5 min drive from the track! Everyone travel safe! And see you all tomorrow! Craig
  9. Well am all good to go! Car all good! Me n dad will be setting off tomorrow about 2pm! Find the hotel then fuel up for Saturday. This has creeped up quicker than I thought lol! Craig
  10. Boss Fox: Is the rear anchor point on a harness supposed to be off to one side? There is a hook directly behind the drivers seat which lines the rear anchor straight but I decided to bolt It through the main seatbelt point which is just off centre thus not being perfectly straight but doesn't cause any issues. Dave & Lolli: Where did u secure the side part of the harness to out of interest? The side anchor points have been drilled through the seat rails and then bolted in place. The way I have fitted this wont be M.O.T friendly but for the track day it will keep me tight in the seat! But I will still wear my normal seatbelt over the top for added security. Craig
  11. Brimma, Today I finished of the harness! Craig
  12. Hi All, Well today iv been busy getting the car sorted for next weekend as I'm working away most of the week and won't have time. All the levels checked. Tyre pressures checked. Wheels bolts torqued correctly. Brakes been taking apart cleaned and re-fitted. Removed the rear seats. Just incase anyone forgets my name iv put side names stickers on! Just for fun!. Car is going in Tuesday for the Gearbox Oil Changed / Brake Fluid Changed and suspension alignment checked. I hope the weather is like this next Saturday! Will be a great day! Craig
