Hey,

did I see you at ultimite dubs yesterday?

You pulled into the service station in limp mode, i own the blue vrs which crashed!

If so... Looks amazing and sounds just as good!!

Hope you got home ok

Yep, that's me!

Got most of the way back down the M5 but near Tiverton.... Back into limp mode with that annoying louder exhaust sound!

Hope you get the accident sorted. Door looked quite a mess!

Your car is what I what mine wants to be like by the end of this year!! It sounded mean in the service station!!

It's quite lucky about my car, I work at a body shop so it's being sorted pretty quicky however insurance had to be contacted but I do get a new rear bumper which is

damaged the other side and other lil bits so I'm upset but not to much.

Not to sound rude but I didn't really get a good look at the list of items on your car, would it be possible for you to email

me or write on here so I have some basis of what's needed and maybe a rough guide on how much aswell?

Glad you got home kinda safe apart from Tiverton. I live in Somerset so not far apart!!

You down for Weston Super Mare meet in 2 weeks? What about Castle Combe meet on 24th April? If car not fixed by then you could always do a comical "OOPS" sticker on it.

Money needed = LOTS, although you can get some way on about £5,000, starting from stock engine.

Umm Weston super mare meet in a hyundi i10 for the win! Lol

will have pictures of the repair,

new door, rear panel, wheel, axle, wheel bearings, brake discs and pads, rear bumper and god knows what else!!

Do you think I'd be accepted with the i10? Lol

just how quick is your beast? It sounds absolutly mental!!

Much better after I fixed the wiring issue earlier this evening! I hoofed it earlier to Tesco and took 2nd to the redline.... yeah, not wise in a 30 limit but the thing just doesn't want to stop accelerating! (ok, I don't want to stop)

Haha so it's like me in my standard vrs x's 1000 lol

Have you added up how much it's all costed you?

It's best not to think about it, but well WELL comfortably into 5 figures.

Ouch :/ sounds well worth it though,

Don't forget it's not a vRS either, so I am including the initial conversion costs, done in 2005.

Is that as accurate as you can be being a qualified chartered accountant ?

abso-bloody-lutely!

I don't like to think of the expenditure - hovering around £20,000 I think including the car, but then I have along the way also sold the upgrades I have upgraded again (which haven't broke....) to offset the cost.

No, but it's about as accurate as you can be avoiding embarrasment of spending that much making a Fabia as fast as a 1.8 petrol ;-)

Heh, just kidding Jason, glad to see the Mongrel back in fighting form, though I guess I missed the part as to why it wasn't?

Blew it up, then once rebuilt, had small wiring issue killing boost. All sorted though this evening.

glad to hear, nothing like getting your car back from the dead ;-)

How much torque will it be putting out now then? Really looking forward to combe!!

Even now I think it is around 400 lb/ft maybe a bit more. The next 2 weeks will reveal much more.

Nice car mate..

Bet shes crazy fast

Thats just pure madness!
