Sorry to bring up an old thread! But I'm gonna be getting myself a Corrida red Fabia in the next couple of months and this has given me a lot of ideas of what to do, love this car and very enjoyable read of the project!

Thread from the dead....

Missed the Fabia ever since selling it. Had a few affairs with cars in between. Current affair is Astra VXR Nurburgring with just over 300bhp.... goes well but it's no VAG. And certainly isn't my old Fabia.

So what did I do?

Purchased it back.... pick it up next Thursday. Few more additions since I had it, approx 10K more miles. Will be going in to have a little few bits touched up at the body shop and then I'm sure with the help of a few of the members in our group what's app chat they'll convince me that a larger turbo is needed for more power.

Really can't wait to get it back! :D

VKLR!!!

Well, I wasn't expecting this! :d

Lots of 2260s now for sale dan!

Neither was I :D

If it's getting upgraded from what I've been watching this morning will be vklr upgrade :)

Go large or go home lol

Well it's home and I am happy! Loved the drive home, brought back all the love and the economy (something I'm not used too lol)

Will switch insurance etc over fully next week and then be using it daily again. Definitely feels quicker than a standard Astra VXR.... mine is tuned to 309bhp though so does go quite well now :D

Glad you're happy with it Dan. Was great to look after it for you for a couple of years.

Was good to get back in the mx5 today. Much as I loved the Fabia, you'd done so much to it that it was never really 'my car'. The 5 was more a blank slate I've made my own ????

Definitely good to leave your own mark on a car. I'd like to say the Fabia will save me money but I'm sure it will get spent on modding it :D

I've not been to any kind of car show / track day or anything since I sold the Fabia. Will surely be visiting some this year though.

Fabia insured yesterday and done about 60 miles in it already. Updated map uploaded by Kevlaaa and the logs sent off to John - thank you for the map update! Now running slightly more fuel and boost that it was before and feels great.

Feels more comfortable to drive fast than the Astra does, its a lot lighter to steer aswell (I think it's the settings within VCDS). Was in mine yesterday then straight into Kev's 2260 Fabia and the difference is a lot so it's really got me urged to get a larger turbo onto the Fabia at some point :D

Probably a good assumption that only a few of us on here are privy to our WhatsApp group chat and know who 'Kevlaaaar' is Dan ;) :D

 Must admit I can see where you are coming from. I am regretting selling my stage 3 Fabia now. Although I now have an S1 which is fantastic I feel I need another Fabia as a second car.

 

Sure I saw this yesterday on my way home. Looked damn well

Where did you spot me mate? I'm all over the place haha! Do about 500 miles a week in it at the moment!

 

Are you by any chance the lad with the silver one with wide mouth I pass on the A483 now and again?
