… some pics of my pride and joy, now covered in muddy cat paws

Anyway, I thought it was about time so any comments welcome

Looks tidy. whats next?

Hmmm…

I'm pretty happy with it at the moment – I like the sleeper look.

I need the wheels refurbing, again… And I'd quite like some FSDs for more comfort. The STR.T shocks are a bit harsh, it has to be said.

And obviously more power would be nice but funds and time are in short supply

I much prefer the rear end of the oct with no spoiler, im quite jealous

I was thinking the opposite

I agree there. I'm a big fan of the sleeper look too and no spoiler helps make things even more subtle.

It never ends! Taken this evening:

The really annoying thing was catching the kitten hanging by his claws from the side of the windscreen after a failed attempt to join the other cat up there!!

:rofl:

I love cats – they just don't care do they. Keep 'em coming folks

lookin good! nice to see the non-vrs octy's! may well put my standard front bumper back on as i too like the sleeper look, especially as i'm currently running black steels at the mo! just wondered, what figures did you get from the re-map? had mine done last nov, just wanted to compare! cheers

I've been on holiday so only just seen this.

I haven't had it on an RR but I know it's bloody quicker than it was

And I'm getting better MPG.

I was in France and I was averaging 40mpg on the D roads

BTW anyone – looking back at the pics of my car why do you think the rear looks loads lower than the front? I'd never noticed it before :confused:

LMAO at cats on the cars. I will have to get a pic of ours on my car! It drives my sister up the wall when our car goes on her car - 08 plate Daihatsu Copen.

Rule 34 strikes again!

Probably all those dead cats in the boot weighing it down!

Alot of octavias look lower at the back than the front. What suspension have you got on it?

It's a Koni STR.T kit. I was trying to remember if I had anything in the boot??? Does it look wrong or dangerous to you? I can't say I'd noticed it before and the handling seems normal :confused:

I've just remembered – the other rear wheel (house side) is sitting in a dip in the drain, and the street's camber is dipped towards the house. Would that make the other rear wheel look higher?

With a stiffened suspension, I'd expect a bit of "short-legged tabling" which would lift the LHF in this case.
