Ok I was sure I had a build thred on here but I just canni find it I I'll do a new one

Ok now I built this car on a budget and used some cheep parts so I'm expecting the opinions and haters to throw down some keyboard warrior tactics, go for it I don't care

Rite now that's out the way on with frank.

He's a red octavia Vrs estate I picked him up about 2 1/2 years ago with 60k on the clock and it went like this

Me: what you think love

Misses: that looks sensible

Me: yer I love it

Misses: it's unlike you to want a car that has no "juped up" stuff on it

Me: yer well I'm growing up I think it's time to move away from modded cars

Misses: ok go for it, sooo your not going to do anything to it???

Me: naaaaaa

Well about 2 days passed and I went to see a mate of mine that makes custom maps and threw a whole £100 at him and he worked his magic

Then the following happend in the next month

Extirior:

Satin black

Wheels, grill and badges

Debaged

Deleted wiper

A few stickers

Engine:

Rs4 diverter in sure it's the same but a mate had one knocking around

Carbon enclosed induction again a mate gave to me unsure of make but came off his m3

As mentioned the unnamed map

Uprated ht leads

Bosh super 4 plugs

Fmic eBay cheepooooo

Relocated dv to cold side DIY

Braided brake lines

Green stuff pads

Then went for a trip to Charlie at Surrey rolling road

I was expecting 210-220bhp and frank made 228.6 bhp

Massive grinns and Charlie loves it " fook me u built that under 1k!!!! "

Oh yes

Now 2 years and not really done much I'm still really happy with him

But I'm looking at new wheels and some more mods I.e coillieees
