Thanks matey. You know the fella who is selling it? Can't wait to pick her up on next weekend

[bengie]

very nice, but why have such a slow weekend toy compared with your daily driver?

[BigW]

Sure do, He's standing beside me right now

Being honest he's a pedant and has not spared a penny on this motor and I am currently slating him for letting it go so cheap but after a while the urge of Jap turbo has got back to him, you would think 2 scoobies and an evo would have gotten it out of his system :P

[devonutopia]

I just read this bit:

(brakes)

Rear: 2 piece Tarox bells and rotors 308mm and caliper extensions with Audi s3 rear calipers and pagid fast road pads.

Does this mean there IS a conversion for the back brakes on a fabia?

[red-devil]

love both of your cars

Yes, has been for a few years now.

[devonutopia]

Yes, has been for a few years now.

It's never been talked about / discussed on here though.

[BigW]

It's never been talked about / discussed on here though.

Lots of things dont get discussed on here :P

Give Jim a bell at Starperformance about these ones or ECS do a kit also.

Whether they are of great benefit or not is another matter as you know the back brakes are fairly lightly used on the fabia.

no worries mate.....where did you advertise it this time ?

you can send me a pm with the price you did sell it if you want ? just to help value mine

[devonutopia]

Fair play - wouldn't mind if there was a way to get 256mm or simlar on the back. Just want something a little beefier.

PS: Thread hijack Nice Evo and Fabia mate.
