ok so after leaving the honda scene ive bought a fabia vrs heres just a couple of pics after a wash .. will use this thread to keep track of any modifactions i make to it .

so heres some specs and a few pics.

speclist

-2004 fabia vrs

-BBS alloy wheels powder coated kandy red .. can someone let me know what the alloys are called im told theyre quite rare ?

-FK coilovers

-313mm Audi TT front brakes standard rears

-jabbasport 180/300 stage 1 remap

-600x400 front mount intercooler

-unknown induction kit and custom exhaust

Nice car! Although I'm not keen on the alloys- the leather interior and the LCR splitter look the part

nice vrs enjoy

I thought 'mmmm' when I read the bit about the red wheels - then I scrolled down and saw them - I think they're smart - nice motor .

Love the interior dude, as said not too keen on the wheels.

Car looks good mate ! I have the same problem with the smoke on the rear + my car has the same leather interior except the seats are white with black inserts.

BTW how are you finding it compared to your EK4? I came from the honda scene too and I had a pre-facelift EK4, until a taxi driver wrote my car off :'( Still miss the Honda ALOT !!

Yeah i love my hondas but also this has made a big impact on me i loved the noise the look and the raw power of my civic (b18c) ej9.. But i also love the practicality of the skoda,the fuel econemy and the silly amount of torque .. I do prefer the skoda 2bh

Nice vRS mate by the way did you buy this from birmingham as i use to see a identical one to yours looks neat could do with a wash lol

damn just noticed your location stupid me have seens your one about looks neat

where abouts in brum you from mate ?

am from hall green buddy your car looks ace like it you still have them candy red alloys

Ye still on the red wheels u got any pics of yours ?

ok so some small updates, i went on a track day a few weeks ago but in the tight corners i could feel the car flexing underneath me so im in need of some strut bars i picked up a lower front brace from a member off here

whilst on the track day i killed me rear pads sotreated myself to some brembos

and just a pic after fitting the brace and pads .. and also my new toolbox lool !

...also does anyone have a rough idea what the seats are worth as im thinking of getting some fixed back bucket seats or something a bit more hugging

still need a load of bits to get it where i want it aswell ..

front upper strut

rear upper strut

rear anti roll bar

front drop links

seat cupra polybushes

new rear shocks

new front bumper and leon splitter

new cambelt kit (just to be safe)

and somesort of hybrid turbo

Your wheels are bbs cf's

Hope that helps :p

I had Bbs Lm's on order but I've changed them to Rs's :p

few updates recently got myself a jabba rear antiroll bar and changed the bottom arm bushes to cupra r bushes / superpro also changed the droplinks for some mondeo ones i havnt got pics at the moment but i will try and get some at work later on .

im in need of some advise im thinking of going down the hybrid turbo route in the future ive seen jabba doing hybrid pd150 turbo swaps but it seems very costly compared to some of the turbo specialist websites ive been looking at .. if anyone reading this has a hybris turbo can you give me some rough figures of price and performance gains . Cheers

I recently got my hybrid pd150. Try tdi turbos i payed 700 without an exchange. I found it boosts harder, and for longer and i havent had it mapped in. And my scan guage is showing 200bhp which is always a plus.

Scan guage ... ? Whats this i will have a look on tdi turbos

They read live data from your ecu comes in handy sometimes! And he deals on ebay. But if you ring him he does them without going through the bay.

Lots of turbo companys

Turbo dynamics

Turbo technics

Cr turbo's

A decent pd150 hybrid turbo can put out 220-240bhp expect to pay around 1000-1200

Hmm after a bit of thought. I think in going to concentrate on keeping it looking nice id rather spend money on hybrid turbos etc on a big power jap slider ... Need to fit new rear shocks asap as mine are very bouncey:(

ok so i finally got my rear shocks sorted the old ones had seen better days to say the least and i also grabbed a quick pic of the jabbasport rear anti roll bar anyway some pics of the the knackerd shocks and replacements

quick pic of new replacement (O.E spec)

and just one last quick snap of the jabba rear anti roll bar

ive also fitted new led rear numberplate light bulbs ill have to get some night time pics thats all for now

You put standard shocks in?

Europerformance sell uprated ones singally?

Yeah i put standard ones in for the moment it was like an emergancy repair as the handling was extremely dangerous ... I rang s few tuning companys to try and get some uprated rear shocks but all three companys i phoned said they could only sell sets of four ? But i will phone euro car parts wednesday thanks for that

Euro performance even *
