Waynes Octavia mk1 vRS

[Clarkey666]

Very nice indeed, really like the look of a clean and tidy Mk 1.

Personally I reckon some fresh OEM badges would cap it off nicely.

Update time, having sold the Po Race rims I need some wheels, so fitted these as a temp measure untill I could find a set of spiders.

But the search for a set of spiders got me these on ebay, they were miles away in Cornwall but a friend collected them for me, so over the weekend they were fitted along with new boot and grille badges, I also took the time to polish it.

Small update.

Started with.

After

Needed a cold air feed, work came to the rescue

In and routed

All that was then needed was to drill the lower grille

Early days but not sure if I like it, I was looking for more noise but it sounds like Darth Vader has moved in under the bonnet, going to give it a few days but may go back to standard.

Nice mate! Should sound really nice.

Get a friend to drive it past you on a street on throttle for you to hear it outside of the car.

Bet you'll like it

Switched it back to a Pipercross panel fiter last week, also with some spare time yesterday, I got on with refitting the boost gauge, the one I had was not very clear at times so removed it and sold it.

Replaced it with a 7 colour one, much clearer, next step is to look at moving it due to the fact it vibrates a lot.

Went for the green option for lighting

Well I have had it a year today, just looked at the mileage wise and since getting it I have done 3507 miles.

Well was not looking to spend a lot more money on the car but I found another induction kit at a really good price.

So tonight got on with fitting it, dead easy to do all in all took me just over an hour, bumper is very easy to remove when you have done it a few times.

Was worried about what it would sound like but it is awesome but not as daft as the last kit so well pleased.

Well last week, I had had the major job of replacing the heater matrix that had started to leak, all in all took around 14 hours with a willing helper due to so much having to be removed to gain access.

Picture of work in progress.

Getting it back together.

All finished now and back on the road.

So whilst the car was apart last week, I took the chance to modify the center console so that the radio would fit in the bottom slot, this then allowed me the chance to put my extra gauges in.

Oil temp is not working yet as we need to fit the sensor but very pleased to have sorted it.

[wayned]

Did not like the gauges as it ment looking down to see them, so moved the boost gauge with a Newsouth pod and have sold the others.

Looking good buddy, just a quick question, were did you happen to get your badges made?
