Sweet, let me know how the lsd fit goes. That's a pain, saw it today outside your work i assume (i study at Queen's) and doesn't look too bad, hopefully it'll be an easy fix

And i'll pass on the wheels , i actually love the standard ones!

henry moore building on the BCH site i work.... fooking IT dept :(

ai well the marks on the paint came off buffed it just a new reg plate etc to get now.

you much done to yours? dont think ive ever seen it sitting about here?

I usually park down the streets off the lisburn road near the medical biology centre of queen's. I had a class today in the centre for infection and immunity so walked straight past your car - was a bit weird because i wasn't expecting to see it!

I don't have much done to mine, the guy before me says he had it remapped to 190bhp, but i doubt its that powerful as its a standard turbo and smic. I reckon its about 170ish. Need to get to a rolling road sometime to see the exact figures.

Asides from that i've done nothing to it other than a service and got a 4-wheel alignment! Definitely need a front and rear brace/RARB and a flipping cupholder! Ha, I hate driving and using the rubbish one between the rear seats!

Do you know who owns the red one that sits at the shops at cloughfern corner at whiteabbey roundabout?

Lol why weren't you expecting to see it lol? You can park outside the uni in the Bch grounds it's free. My name parks his 530d BMW down there. Coming to think of it you've probably see my Audi tt and dc2 sitting about or the BMW x3 jeep?

Nope wouldn't be that high or it would have blown up by now lol! Go see auto tune in ballymena they done all the mapping to the fabia for me. Get the cup holder front a lupo.

I need mine done after putting the tt comps on lol

Don't dude, don't think I've ever seen it tbh. I live along the back road n I don't cruise about anymore lol getting to old haha

Aye think its definitely about 170, pulls like a train! How much do they charge for a rolling road session?

Cool that would be handy actually! Where abouts do you get access to there, from the lisburn road side?

And nope, never seen the other two, wouldn't stand out as much as the fab!

Very nice looking car

What grill is on it ?

They usually charge around £20 for 2 runs dude. Thou I can't get mine in anymore cause my front mount covers the toe eye. We're did you get the toe eye for your car? I could do with one

Couldn't have missed the tt lol!! All black windows and had deep dish alloy wheels

Just a debadgeless one that was in German eBay as far as I'm aware

Some new photos, give the engine bay a wash down and fitted new reg plates and holders and you can see we're the pipes cover the toe eye lol

Thats a good price, i'll have to get up soon then! The tow eye that came with mine was sheared off so i got an Ibiza one from a breakers and machined the tow strap hole big enough to go through it:

Yea cheers i'll definitely head up! Flip thats a shame, does it just go under full boost? A fella on here secured his once like this, i think it looks pretty secure!

EDIT: Was never a fan of the X3/X5s, but it must be a beast to drive.

Looking good man, look forward to seeing you bask on the road!

The x3 is crap to drive, only fun thing about it is going across the fields at browns bay lol!!!

Boost pipe is coming off at the turbo dude. But think I've it sorted now

Looking to out bonnet lifts on the car next. Hate the whole manual holding the bonnet up lol

Yea i'm gonna get one of them in the new year! (lazy buggers we are).

Sweet, how did you fix it?

Friend works in FG Wilson and got me a high pressure clamp that they use on some eqiiptment. It's huge! But it's holding so far

Few more things to add today

Was my bday not so long ago and my other half kindly bought me a cd player, sub and amp for the car.

I've only put the cd player in I'm gonna leave the sub and wiring to Andrew to sort. Guys a genius when it comes to Audio

Few snaps below

Cd player and sub in boxes 

Cd player fitted in car

Amp on box

Sub in box

I've also got my 312mm brake upgrade for the car aswell

Just waiting on new brake pads to come and will be fitted ASAP

As its winter I'm not to fussed on the brakes looking very clean and painted well ... Gonna get them done better come feb time

New brake cap

Disc and pads

Looks good mate! I've 2 amps, a sub and 2 6x9s (chavy) waiting to go in but haven't been bothered with the shi**y weather :( I hate winter.

Wouldn't put 6x9s in the fabia dude... If I were you. My mate used to be contracted by iceman to do all the big installs. He uploaded a few pics on my Facebook

What you reckon, just a sub install and use standard door speakers? Or have you upgraded them?

I'll find you on fb here and have a look.

at the moment the sub and standard speakers are doing great with my cd player, think id upgrade the door speakers next.

I'll go for that then. Atm i'm running the standard HU though, hopefully it sounds okay-ish.

Car audio doing good Xmas deals

Why did sell the fabia
