Tuned diesel Fabias at Santa Pod

Featured Replies

Please keep the RR talk, opinions, speculation etc... to other threads.

If you are prepared to bring your tuned diesel Fabia down to Santa Pod on Saturday 17th September please add your name here.

Think of it as a nice day out to compare cars and meet forum members while seeing what these cars will do, rather than engage in the endless debate on here and genital waving.

No problem if I get beaten, It'll give me future ideas ... :). (this is the spirit I am hoping for)

Less battle, more comparison... For those prepared to turn up rather than talk/type.

I would come down to this as I missed the last one, but I don't want to kill the turbo

I'm going to try my best but can not promise that my car will work... Seems to be off the road more often than on. I'm hoping that if I go Luke (xaosx) will go too. Maybe possibly Darren (stiggyvrs) but doubt it.

i will come down with my ibiza hybrid :)

We'll go in my car regardless

Will have LSD by then too

I'll try and come. I'v only been up the strip one and was awful, so does that mean my car will have the lowest power? No, it means I'll be the worst driver up the strip. So this would prove nothing in terms of "my cars faster than yours". But, hopefully it'll be a change for some like minded car enthusiasts to have a laugh and bit of banter. I'll bring a video camera if I can make it.

That's sorted then...

The vanes on my turbo are sticking and I don't have the money to get either a replacement turbo or get the turbo reconditioned as I only work part-time

Pull vac line from the little buzzer box, and suck it (haha) release, repeat, that'll help free up the vanes slightly.

Failing that, it's not a massive job to take turbo off and clean it out :-)

Sorry, can't make this. I am planning some work over the winter and hopefully the mongrel will be fit in the spring for some action. :)

If you want to debate peak figures or torque spread.

I prefer to see how a car actually goes.

Isnt this what all this is about really lol I could go down the strip in my fabia and at the end of the day i wouldn't be that far behind you, half a second layer on the brakes and I'm behind ou again, there's too many variables which will factor on the strip, starting the main one. I think a rr would be best yes there are variables too ie temp but not as much of a factor.

Do both!! :)

I guessed as I know you're bot 100% happy with mongrel at the moment. Saw that on the track day thread.

Still a few who like to quote power still to post though...

I wonder what they are worried about? ;)

20 posts and only 2 Fabias and 1 other in the list so far...

Feel free to organise. Driving two hours for a RR session (5 mins?) Doesn't appeal as much so I'd rather not take on that job to organise it.

Just thought i would add i will be with 2 others if thats ok golf 2.0 tdi 140 remapped to 230 ( rolling road says lol )

Are you thats not 400NM (295lb/ft) as 400lb/ft seems quite a lot from just a PD100 with PD130 turbo and remap to suit
