Bought my VRS Fabia back in July to replace my PD 170 Octavia VRS which had served us well for 6 years , I know the cars well as my mum has a race blue one which she bought back in June 11.

My mums furby

Big change though as the old Octy went

and i sold my fun toy a 400hp Evo 6 that i'd had for 3 years (another toy will replace it though)

I contacted the dealer who had supplied my mums Fabia (Aaron in Caffyns , Ashford) and asked if he knew of any new green and black MK2's around.

He found me this car at UK posts it had shortly arrived for another dealers stock , i think the only options on it were mats, cruise and reversing sensors

So collected it and gave it a full detail and started to work out what i needed to buy for it

It was clear that it needed lowering , so I took it to the performance car specialists that used to maintain my Evo for me , Autotorque in Aylesbury (http://www.autotorque.net/) who supplied and fitted a set of Eibach springs, a Whiteline RARB and set the geometry up correctly , they also checked the car for loose bolts and I was shocked to find quite a few so a few clunks and bangs that I did have over bumps have now gone

Much happier with the handling now and the ride its not at all harsh nor is clearance an issue, in fact i think its looks more factory it may well drop a little lower with some more miles on it

Did pop over to Castle Coombe on Saturday for the Action day , was on with my old car club , didnt take it on track but I have only just tipped over the 1000 mile mark

cool. I like watching these threads, keep us updated

Ah yes I have a picture of your car and wondered why you weren't on the Briskoda stand. There's always next time in April

Get on the Brisky stand next time... and get on track!

Nice looking car BTW.

I'm not looking to take this one on track , i'm after a specific track toy

Quick job this morning was to fit some Heko wind deflectors

Easy job only took a few minutes, fitted a sunglasses holder as well , got the underseat boxes and mudflaps to fit tonight

Is this one of the boxes you're fitting?

If so,great price,a lot cheaper than the factory fitted option.

Yeah got both sides to fit

Nothing especially interesting but MG ZS 180's are so cheap they are disposable and handle well on track so looking at them

Nice progress so far buddy. Where abouts are you from?

Keep the updates coming

I'm from Berkshire

Very nice, love the mudflaps! finishes off the rear end imo!
