Dan's GTB1756 Powered Fabia VRS

[Southy]

Steering wheel looks sorted pal. Suits the car really well.

[Dark_Hero]

That looks great Dan

Red Leather dye for the centre of the seats to match?

[DanHam]

Looks good in the pics, but even better in the flesh

Hand grip shaped parts are spot on.

Thanks Kev, better to drive with after I adjusted the wheel back again

Looking really nice inside now Dan, becoming a really sorted motor I'm jealous!! What else do you want to do interior wise?

Thanks Kyle. Well I'd quite like my turbo sorting first. But interior wise, handbrake cover, gear knob and gaiter retrimmed. Leather door cards and a new but different arm rest is needed. Might order the arm rest later

Thank you, extremely jealous of your recent purchase from Darkside!

Thanks Charlie, hmmm could I dye black leather do you know?

[Dark_Hero]

Should have thought so

[DanHam]

Cleaned the intercooler!

Looks new again, would like to upgrade it to an Airtec cooler soon

All smoke no poke...

New turbo will be ordered this week, gtb1756vk. Also need a down pipe from somewhere! Hoping a second hand one will come up as it's going to be modified anyway

[Dark_Hero]

Nice to see you got your turbo sorted mate

[DanHam]

Will message you on Facebook Charlie

[Titanium_Man]

Great work mate

Why are you changing your 'cooler?

[DanHam]

Ermmmmmm, because Airtec one is shiny!

[Titanium_Man]

But so is yours now... They are nice though

[DanHam]

I know, looks much better now!

Eventually I would like to hard pipe the intercooler pipework if I keep the car long enough haha.

[Titanium_Man]

Yeah that route does make sense, but it's a lot of dough and iirc it's a bit of pig with the SS/Airtec cooler.... I think the map sensor position is tight, although do-able

Popped my egr delete pipe for the 3rd time just before Glasto last week so bought some Mikalor clips, otherwise my egr might go back on :p

[DanHam]

Bottom pipe looks easy enough in 1 piece, top would be ideal in 1 piece otherwise I would do that section in 2 pieces, saying that there's nothing wrong with my pipework now apart from blown 3 boost pipes off in about 18 months! 2 was from clips snapping though.

Were you using a jubilee clip prior to the mikalor?

[AaronD95]

Pretty sure ive seen this car driving around Wrexham, if so this car sounds awsome

[Titanium_Man]

Were you using a jubilee clip prior to the mikalor?

Yup, I was using what was supplied. .think:

I can't help but think replacing this top clip will make it pop off somewhere else until I replace them all. I'll let you know if you do buy the Airtec kit.

Quite possible, or it may have been Alex (another member on here) easiest way to tell is I have hair and Alex doesn't (hope he reads this)

Our cars are quite similar well they were.

Deffo need the mikalors on there mate mine have been alright since apart from blowing the bottom one although not all of my pipes have lips on them....yet!

I'll only be buying the Airtec cooler, not the pipework either. Probably go for the chrome cooler with red logo or something.

Just purchased the GTB1756

Cheek!!!  In all fairness, I look better without hair ha ha!

 

 

Yeah I reckon it was probably me that you saw Aaron, as I live in Wrexham so am often about in it. It's a bit quieter and higher these days though! (but still quick!)

 

 

 

Looking good Dan! I think you've made the best choice with the GTB1756 over another hybrid after being out in Joe's.

Good choice! Who's doing the mapping?

Very handsome Alex

Probably was you Alex, mines had a cat in it for over 3 months sounds terrible IMO. Still get young lads coming into Tesco asking me about the car often haha!

Gtb1756 makes sense and cheaper! If it goes anything like Kevs car then I will be very happy!

[DanHam]

Good choice! Who's doing the mapping?

Not sure yet, didn't fancy spending nearly £1800 again just to get back to where I started with the hybrid.....

Still need to sort out a down pipe and now a rear box. Probably cheaper buying a full system and selling my Piper on to be honest!

[bradvrs]

im on zsoc got a white mk 7 zs and just got fabia vrs in magic black

[Phil-J]

Where did you buy the gtb from dan?
