Rob's 2004 Octavia vRS

[RobClubley]

Went to pick up some old doors, to find that they had excellent taste in cars.

Thanks

 

They're Milotec items, they came from Superskoda but they're not doing much Milotec stuff now.

 

You should still be able to get them from www.milotec.de - you can change the site to English using the flags at the top.

Thank you, i was finding it hard t get modified parts for skoda until now Spent all of my wages immediatly haha

Not a lot going on at the moment with the car. I've been driving it a bit more not that SWMBO has passed her driving test, so I can't use her car for short journeys.

I'm having to park it on the street in the sun some days

I do have a show to go to next April which means a temporary sticker:

Had to go out for a meeting late last night - came the long way home
It always surprises me how fast my car is when I take it for a proper blast.

 

In other news, my garage is getting much too full of non-car stuff:

 

 

I keep acquiring free stuff to build garden things out of:

Nice looking forward to some more updates Rob!

After 10 years 6 months my rear brakes are getting a bit low.

Time to get them sorted.

 

 

I have the parts but I'm going to get them done by a local specialist, plus new brake fluid.

Why you didnt get a 312 setup????

 

[RobClubley]

I'm trying not to spend too much on the car after the big spends early in the year. And I think the brakes are pretty good
Also any brake mods need a $500 certification here.

There is a whole lot of love in this car Rob! I've just read start to finish over the past couple of evenings whilst the wife has watched crap tv.

Cracking job! It's nice to follow the full journey, although something tells me it's far from over... :-)

My ex-mechanic mate keeps hassling me about when we're going to fit upgraded rods

I say "La la la I'm not listening"

 

Some recent random photos:

 

 

This fit in!!

Oh yeah update on the HUD.

It worked pretty well, though it needed a small square of film to be stuck to the window to prevent multiple reflections of the numbers.

 

 

But the NZ sun finished it off after a few days of parking outside. It started to read 37kph at all times, even when parked, then didn't switch off, leaving me with a flat battery. Had to call the AA, then buy a proper charger to get the battery working properly.

Still waiting for a response from them about a refund nearly 3 months later...
