New brakes will be here next week probably won't be fitted for the national meet though.

Then I drop my car off at AMD on the 9th august to get the diff fitted

Then up to dirty torque on the 23rd to get the turbo fitted and mapped.

Can't wait

Dirty torque's turbo supplier has had a look at the turbo and are not sure why it failed. They suggested that the crank vent might be breathing too heavily? Sounds like baloney to me.

Any way the turbo will be sorted under warranty. DT will fit it FOC and offer a discount on mapping

Never heard of that before!

Good job on getting the car all booked in etc, just a shame it's a fair time away! Be a completely different car by Combe

It would be sooner Dan, but that's the first Saturday I have free now

Yeah will be really different for Combe

Do you know who they're 'supplier' is?

No idea sorry. I'll see if I can find out

I'm not sure of their supplier either all I know him as is 'turbo guy'

Glad to hear the issues are all getting sorted with the turbo, bet you will think the car is completely different once you have the diff fitted.

Can't see how the crank case breather would damage the turbo but would like to know more about it then!

That's exactly what I thought. How can a bit of oily vapour kill a turbo within 10 minutes??

I know mate, I can't wait now

No way, sounds like *******s, the excuse to say 'just this once we'll fix it'

Yeah I thought so. At least it's being sorted or all manner problems will go their way!

very nice car charlie when do i get it

Painted the rear calipers red

And gave her a good wash, then the rain came

At the end of the day if they actually believe that the reason the turbo broke was because of your car then they would never repair it not even once so sounds like a load of rubbish they are making up! Hope everything is well charlie and it is back with more power soon!

Thanks Adam, won't be long til it's sorted

How have you been buddy? What car have you got lined up now?

I'm new on here but had and currently have a Seat Leon Cupra R and am thinking about changing for one of these for something cheaper to run etc.

 

Your car is a massive inspiration! The mods are impressive as are the videos of the Piper exhaust! I have one on my LCR (non res cat-back) mated to a 3" Milltek downpipe and decat and it sounds epic. Gotta love Piper!!!

 

Epic vRS mate, nice work.

Hi Tom, welcome to the site and thanks very much for the kind words

Good luck with your search for a Fabia.

The piper is awesome

Received a big box from JoshH today

I can imagine my car doing this soon

Absolutly love this car! Noticed ya grill hanging off though hahaha [emoji6]

Yeah, a couple of the clips had broken.

The next track session you'll see that it was removed

Its a nice motor mind... Good inspiration for mine

My grille surround was flapping about too! Removed for the second session also!

Trial fitted the new brakes today to check the clearance.

All seems good

Hopefully have them fitted tomorrow in time for the national meet
