copycat!!

indeed

When you buy lowering springs one week and coilovers the next.

When you buy springs from Gareth, get them fitted cheap, wait 2 month, buy coilovers and fit them cheap and let your dad fit the springs to he's vrs.. true story..

The fitting your head into the wheel arch one was funny but also true..

...when you tap into the cars brainssss and make it double beep when it's unlocked, then annoy people by standing 30 yards away in a car park, at work or an AMD rolling road day, hitting the unlock button multiple times because its funny (not really that funny though)..

...when you can't find the problem with the power steering heaviness, then it lets go and you have a split o-ring to replace, then you realise the problem wasn't fixed a week later with just replacing an o-ring because the steering goes heavy again and then go on the hunt for the hissing sound when the steering wheel is turned at idle, then find out one of the boost hose clips is worn and needs replacing because boost oil has been sprayed alllll round the engine bay..

...when you have the sunvisor down and forget to push it back up then bash your head on it..

...after a few days you realise your seat has lowered 3 inches because you sit on the height adjustment lever as you get in..

...when you **** of a 10 plate m3 driver by revving hard with him 2" from your rear bumper at lights, not so shiny now mr bummer.. I mean beamer (don't sit up a diesly wiesly fabia's ass if you want to keep clean)..

...when you read a thread like this, come across something that you've experience and laugh or sob :(

...when it's 1am and your still reading through Briskoda forums because your a sad ******* with nothing else to do

When you buy lowering springs one week and coilovers the next.

..when I recall telling you I'm buying coilovers very soon, just noticed the date which is when we spoke about it hmm :p

..When you feel that 2 hands is required straight after a gear shift (mmm.. torque steer).

When you can gain 20bhp with just a eBay resistor

pwned..

when you have a shot of a 5-speed car and go for 6th and it isnt there

...when you fuel up and then the fuel flap won't catch shut. But it might, or not. Depends on the mood of the car.

...when you spend your weekends not cleaning the exterior but cleaning the seats.

...when you wonder what the little on switch in the cubby hole on the RHS of the steering wheel does, only to be told to look in the stickies on briskoda

...when you wonder what the little on switch in the cubby hole on the RHS of the steering wheel does

Theres a switch in the cubby hole by the steering wheel?

What does it do?!

When your plans for your car will cost far in excess of its value!

...when you fuel up and then the fuel flap won't catch shut. But it might, or not. Depends on the mood of the car.

...when you've had the boot carpeting off re-locating the fuel flap cable so it works first time, every time.

When you buy springs from Gareth, get them fitted cheap, wait 2 month, buy coilovers and fit them cheap and let your dad fit the springs to he's vrs.. true story..

thats cool mate, glad someone still benefits from them.

what coilovers did you go for???

owning 1 set of wheels just ain't enough.....

my favourite so far

its a shame theres not i like button on this like facebook lol

...when you are prepared to pay almost £100 for a larger plastic funnel

you can get the same thing for less in an Ibiza? :p

When ex-owners seem to spend a lot of time on here making negative comments about them . Very rude.

Well I'm an ex-VRS-owner and I've never been on here dissing them. In fact, having just had a nasty experience with a Volvo C30, I'm about to rejoin the Fabia 1 fraternity. Don't be so defensive.

When just after cleaning your engine bay, you're filling up your washer bottle for the first time without realising how small it is, and the innevitable overflow occurs, ruining your work.

When your wheels are stuck on your car. Copper grease ftw

I know what's all that about I've to kick the shiz out of em to get them off.

And what a cool thread this is!!!

you can't get a girl because they all go to your mates' golfs, a3s and ibizas
