Clap's Fabia vRS

[JackClap]

Any news Jack?

 

Not too much really, have considered selling it a few times over the past few months. Urges to buy some sort of fast petrol but I think I would get bored after a few months of it. And for what I could sell the fabia for there isn't a huge amount I really fancy. So most likely going to keep it for a good years and get my moneys worth from it.

 

In terms of mods there is a few odd bits, mainly just a pile of parts waiting to be fitted. BMC CDA, Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts, and some gear shifter linkage bushes from a recent group buy. So will probably start working on it again in the new year.

 

And the thing I'm most looking forward to..

And recentley another reason for wanting to get rid of it is the turbo has started showing very early signs of being on the way out. Then a week later it developed some sort of transmission wine. And there is lots of creaking and knocking from the front suspension so I'm sure something needs replacing there. Overall it feels pretty crap to drive compared to what it use to be like. Its going in in January for some work so hopefully that should sort a few things.

What turbo have you gone for?

One of the cleanest Fabias on the site!

If you decide to sell any of your collection of parts dibs on the gear linkage bushes

They're good very precise and mechanical feeling

I went for the Stage 2 PD130 with billet wheel as it was on offer so got it for a rather good price.

 

The bushes definitely wont be for sale as hopefully they will be on my car in a few week, I just don't like the thought of going out to fit them in this colder weather

I do keep an eye out in the meets section, but the ones up your way are often just a bit too far for me. Will be at combe again this year so will most likely see you then if you're going.

And it arrived today, so compulsory pictures.

 

[DanGum]

Very very nice, is that the mdx446?

[Williammealor1]

Absolutely stunning !

[JackClap]

 

Soon to be for sale.

[Titanium_Man]

Such a shame this car is unlikely to end up in someone's hands who will not look after it as much as you did :( 

[Kyle_vrs]

Love this car!

I should be at Combe. Probably not in the Octavia though, I may have to try tag onto another stand as I'm not sure I'd be too welcome on the brisky stand in a renault 

 

And if I took off the brembos I would be brakeless!

[JoshH]

Don't worry, I parked brisky stand in a megane before, Lloyd's there in an orange focus st this year and I'm in a tt lol

How much did you pay for it? I went to view then walked away. We're any of the issues rectified before it was sold?

[mpow3r]

I was calling the seller when i was looking for mine a few weeks ago but didnt get any response out of him.  Ended up buying Taylor477's (Aaron) from here.

Went to see this with Dan. I couldn't believe what was described to be an immaculate car was a big let down. Very rough around the edges.

 

Hope you got a good deal for it mate. Definitely wasn't worth the money the guy was asking for it, nice a lad as he was.

 

Put some work in and get it back to its former glory!

 

 

Oh and the turbo was standard. Just a remap.

yes indeed full works is going into it, i found it needed cosmetic work, i felt like i got a good price, and yes the asking price was way way off but all in all im pleased with it.
