Could this be a move into a new business territory? :-p

Not if by Business you mean making money

I am having dark thoughts about selling the Yeti VRS. :peek:

While it's still easy to put seats back in and before I gut it.

So it's still easy to make it a nice road car.

 

Anyone got £18k burning a hole in their back pocket?

Doesn't include the seats as I want them for the Citigo.  Standard ones provided.

 

I'm guessing the market isn't a huge one...

 

Any particular reason for wanting to get rid of it?

There's no business like Sko-Business!

Fiesta ST!

Mental deficiency.

Go out for a drive and burn off some chavs in corsas as I've said then you'll remember why you love it when you see their faces

You can burn off chavs in Corsa's in a standard Yeti!

Can burn them off on my push bike

It's also more reliable than your Clio.

Any things more reliable than that

I think Toxic should buy the Yeti and then put the 1.8TSI into the Fabia.

Wiring would be a b*tch to try and sort.

That'd mean Taylor would have a harder job

Maybe if Richard kept it long enough for me to get a mortgage

 tell us more about the upgrade - is this a software upgrade?

Hi,

 

It's basically a sw uppgrade, but you also change a valve in the rear axel (easilly done at your driveway).

For Haldex gen4 you can either buy the "std" unit which give a higher amount of torque towards the rear axel, or you can buy the slightly more expensive version which is adjustable in 3 stages. Eco, Sport and Race. Where Race gives even more torque and ECO less torque to improve fuel consumption.

Most documention about "Haldex Upgrade" is in Swedish (it's a Swedish company that developed the product). But apr also have the system (but way more expensive).

http://www.dli-teknik.se/index.php?section=products&subsection=7&cat=106&s1cat=667〈=en - Swedish developer (11SEK ~1GBP).

The purpose with the upgrade is to reduce understeer by adding torque to the rear axel (as Audi has done with their newer 4wd system in RS6).

Raven - many thanks. It's not so far from Finland to Sweden.

Finance - £50 a month??

Ah Richard, don't sell up after a brief affair with a fiesta.

This! The Fez is a great car but your Skoda is in it's own league as it's something a bit different

I blame the funny pulls YetiKent gave me on Saturday at How Fast.

I think you're having an adverse reaction. Don't make any rash decisions until I've had time to administer some pro-Skoda pills. It seems that they may have had a similar but less severe affect on Taylor; perhaps it was due to his previous Fiesta exposure.

Yes but his previous Fiesta experience was constantly wanting to scrap the thing

Exactly, that's what has diminished his desire for another one.

 

By the way, has anyone heard from BCP? He had a couple on Saturday as well, for all I know he's out hunting down Mondeo's.

 

DON'T DO DRUGS (or TicTacs)!

I think Taylor should stay with Fabias as he'd get bored of not being able to tinker with a ST
