Hello all.

I own a silver 03 Octavia vRS with Black Leather. Great Car!!!

Sold my 03 WRX with ppp (261bhp) and brought the vRS (180bhp).

Is it me, or does that 3rd gear just keep pulling ?

Anyway, great car and website

Hello Wardie and Welcome to Biskoda,

its very very good to have another Octavia owner join the ranks,we're losing the battle with the Fabia vRS very rapidly,for all the right reasons i must add(Value for money/Performance/Quality)if i had less time on my interest free finance on the Octavia then the Fabia vRS would be next car!!!!!

3rd will go all the way to 100, so I've been told.

3rd is 103 if I remember. 2nd is also good for around 70mph.

Mine does nearer 110, just as it hits the limiter.

not taken mine upto the limiter in any gear!

Mine does nearer 110, just as it hits the limiter.

Does the vRS Estate have a different gearbox to the vRS Hatch? The vRS Hatch gearbox code is EFA.

109 is the limt in 3rd, 4th is even better at a round about 140

what about 5th?

3rd is 103 if I remember. 2nd is also good for around 70mph.

Yep 3rd is good for a 100. Thanks for the keys on sat bro.

I seem to remember fifth seeing about 172 or something. May just be a Renault clio model number though

ratios for the RS are as follows:

Gear ratios/mph per 000 for RS as follows:

1st = 3.3/6.2

2nd = 1.94/10.5

3rd = 1.31/15.6

4th = 1.03/19.8

5th = 0.84/24.3

Therefore max speed at 7k is

1st = 43

2nd = 74

3rd = 109

4th = 139

5th = 170.1

I hit an indicated 109/110 on the speedo in 3rd. Road Angel indicates 103mph (there is lag to allow for, so i guess its nearer 105mph)

have you got your car chipped up at all or is it still standard 180bhp?

my car is standard at the moment.

you sooooo want to chip it, mine has been done and its awsome

you sooooo want to chip it, mine has been done and its awsome

Ill second that, my car turns me into a complete child with an inverted snobbery problem

yeah ive put my name down for the jabba group buy.

What sort of figures do you get running 220-230bhp?

0-60?

0-100?

speed through gears etc?

0-60 with a perfomance meter thing (uses accelerometers and gps) and a heavy passenger average 6.6. 0 -100 didnt do it.

Went up against a 04 leon cupra r in a stright line of a roundabout and it was a level run, nothing in it. so it would be about the same 0-100 as one of them.

ooh somone else with a speed prob. lol

i put my foot down and the car just slaps a stupid smile on my face especially when ****ing off little boy racers

yep my octy is a nippy car its been jabba'd 231 bhp had a simliar experience couple off weeks ago coming home from the autosports show in birmingham a scoob wrx sti ****ter tried to take me up the slip road what a big mistake he got well red carded dude blitzed in fact my moto never give in if ur not livin on the edge ur takin up to much space give it death and he got it big time i also own a rs cossy4x4 and a rs turbo and a 2.8i capri so i know what fast cars are about you will have some great fun in your octy i have.
