I don't get why there are so few vRS' in Rallye Green TBH :(

[BossFox]

New toy!

 

 

 

Weight with no driver, full fuel tank...

 

 

Weight with driver, should be 10kg over Skoda's claimed kerb weight.

More like 65kg over!

 

[softscoop]

That has to be the most expensive way of weighing yourself Richard...

[Lloyd55vrs]

Oh they are cool

[Dark_Hero]

That is very cool, I'll have to have a go

[BossFox]

Any time Charlie.

The whole kit including the ramps fits in the boot of the Yeti.

[Dark_Hero]

Fantastic guess you need level ground to use them though

Yes, that's true.

Can't just use them anywhere.

[devonutopia]

Toy to play with at Combe I think   Would need to find seriously level bit of the stand though

[BossFox]

Anyone who has gone past the Citigo thread will probably know I've been up at Jabbapsort this afternoon.

 

So a pair of seats with frames have been ordered for the Yeti. 

Corbeau Sprint buckets in carbon/black cloth with no logos or branding and mounting frames.

Around 7kg each + frames.

 

Also I think we've found a KW coilover set up that will fit... just waiting to hear back from KW on the minimum drop as I don't want it too low.

 

When we put the KW v3 kit on my Fabia, it was wound right up and worked out a drop of around 20mm, which looked spot on.

 

At the end of the day, I still want it to look like a Yeti.

Not someone who bought an SUV type vehicle when they really wanted a speed bump scraper.

 

Nearly forgot I also got an email from PB Brakes to say the kits are on the way, should be here in about a week.

 

 

 

 

It's all going on, except for the KO4 kit from APR.

Still no word about if they have found a downpipe, or how long it'll be.

 

At this rate the engine will be the last thing to be done, rather than the first.

If you need to look for an alternative to KW, GAZ will make what you want as a bespoke set up, they are down your way too Richard.

 

Gaz Shocks Ltd
Rayridge House, Swinborne Road
Burnt Mills Industrial Estate
Basildon, Essex? SS13 1EH

 

Take them the Yeti and tell them what you want, they will have a look and a measure, also weigh the beast, then a few weeks later and you get a package ready to fit.

[Dark_Hero]

It's already been weighed James

[James I]

It's already been weighed James

Not by GAZ, I am sure Richard could save them time by giving them the weights,   and then get a fully adjustable set up made to order.

[Dark_Hero]

True, could be a great option.

Good news that the brakes will soon be here. Very interested to see how they perform

You know it's rude to make fun of the disturbed.

 

[Sparkly]

 Any word from APR Mr Fox?

 

Seen that they haven't been communicating the best  

 

The sooner that K04's on the sooner you can set about the business of getting bored of the BriskYeti and hasten forward the day I buy her off you

Not via the question on Brisky.

I need to get round to chasing my local dealer up (Tuningwerks in Croydon) for an answer.

 

Just waiting on the downpipe I believe...

 

I've got a bit of time now as the car was taken away on Friday for it's respray.

So I won't see it for a couple of weeks.

 

By the time it gets back I'm going to have a pile of bits to fit!

I like your style.

What was the final verdict on the colour? I was just looking back through some photos of the original cabrio Yeti concept - shame that colour was never offered as an option http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/375456,8918/2006-Skoda-Yeti_Photo.aspx

It's a secret.

[Sparkly]

[LeeHarrison]

It's a secret.

 

I'm guessing from the email this morning that it's.........   

 

I'll keep my gob shut   

[BossFox]

Update:  Corbeau won't make me a pair of seats without the branding as a custom job.  Branding or no seats! :(

 

 

List to do before Castle Combe is:

 

K04 with air intake, exhaust and intercooler. (ordered, but delayed?)

Front and rear big brake kit. (it's arrived today!)

Suspension.

ARBs. (arrived)

Oil cooler.

Uprated clutch.

Two decent front seats.

Lose as much weight as possible.

Colour change (in the paintshop as I type...)

Wheel change (ordered)

Track tyres.

 

14 weeks to go...
