ABT Fabia 1.4

[M1k32102]

Hi all this is my little pet project only been going for about 6 months so lots still to do.

it all started in jan 2011 when my pervious car a mk2 106 was nearing the end of its natural life,(thank God, i hated that car with a passion)

so i was looking for something faster and with some mod cons, as my dad had just upgraded his car.

 so i chose this, a mk1 fabia, a 11 year old car with only 60,000 miles on the clock, and full skoda service history.

the first thing i did was get it checked over,

it looked like the breaks were f**ked so they needed replacing

after

much better.

now some visual tweaks, i saw on the net a VRS with a black roof and thought about carbon so i got it wrapped along with the grill

now some alloys i chose some black audi S3 alloys

which with the roof works well. :-)

now i needed a better stereo, I thought about pioneer as i had some things in the past, so went on the bay and found this alpine system

fitted that with new door speakers and a sub,

and the most recent mod is some DRL'sÂ

so it went from this

to this

still to come are all the big mods, like coil overs, induction kit, remap and some other performance mods

A big improvement- love those s3 alloys- are they 16's or 17's? Would a remap even make a difference on a 1.4 petrol with no turbo?

[skoda vrs 11]

Would look cracker with a vrs body kit

[fabia55]

It just needs lowering and a face lift front or vrs front bumper

Very nice car. Just wondering where you got the DRLs from? I bought some to fit onto my vRS but they are fairly small and not bright enough for my liking. Yours look pretty swish.

[M1k32102]

I got them off eBay they are these http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=787887&categoryId=165688&langId=-1 but I brought them for £30

[M1k32102]

Ok so got my new ABT stickers fitted today what do u think??

didn't really like the back one so I've done a little remod with thanks to matt dixion i have had some ABT graffix done and i think they look great.

and a random one

[Tech1e]

Looks nifty, if you fancy a bodykit have a look on eBay or call Autosales in Cannock. I got this whole kit on eBay for sub £100 and they had another four of them.

Got the front on mine already but figured its always good to have a spare.

Don't have to have a vRS to look cool.

[M1k32102]

was thinking about the bumper skirts, how easy were they to fit and spray??

[Tech1e]

Depends on how good your bodyshop skills are?

Not fitted mine yet.

[Slimwonder]

so what do you get in the kit?

any rear pics?

[M1k32102]

So got my induction kit fitted today massive improvement

It would surprise me if that helps! All its doing is sucking in hot air!

where did u get the blue leads from can't find them anywhere and any ideas on how to clean up the engine bay as mines a little grubby

[Guest BigJase88]

Blueleads are magnecor ht leads, available from awesome gti!

Some all purpose cleaner is good for the bay, autosmart g101 is good stuff, then cover up electrical items such as batt and alternator then rinse off

Then some plastic / vinyl treatment to bring the blacks back to black

[Guest BigJase88]

I also sprayed my rocker cover in situe with some careful masking up!

Exhaust heat sheild can be removed and sprayed

[fabdavrav]

So got my induction kit fitted today massive improvement

That would defo reduce the quoted top end BHP when the engine bay gets hot......BUT would make it more responsive when cold

This is a pic of mine with the CIA kit that I built myself based around Green cotton components.........need to get a newer pic up as I now have the top end red magncor leads fitted

[M1k32102]

Looks Good. But I would have a clue on how to build something like that. what parts would i need???

Out of interest, how did ABT get 140bhp out of your car?
