  • Ok so since the last trackday I haven't done much more with the car. I fitted a short shifter, as the selector on my car was a little sloppy and this seemed the easiest way to tighten it up a little,

Ok no real updates to report on, I have fitted the cold air ducts (and as usual forgot to take pics), although tbh i'm not sure that the way i've had to fit them is good enough, and I fully expect there to be holes / tears in the ducting next time I jack it up and remove a wheel, as there is so little space in the arch's that clearance is a real issue.

 

Anyway went out with a few mates last night, and managed to get a couple of shots of the car (the static pictures were taken in pitch black).

 

Sadly the only wheels I have with legal tyres are the 18" RS4 rims which I really dislike (much prefer the 17" S3 and TT rims I have).

 

Anyway the pics from 11pm last night:

I ordered some of these however there on backorder so not sure when they will arrive.

 

I also ordered some of these from Awesome GTI, ordered them sunday and they arrived this morning :D

 

Took me about 10 mins to fit, as the original bushes in the cable ends were foooooooooooooooked and near enough fell out when I pushed them with a screwdriver.

 

Not driven the car yet, but feels much better even when stationary.

 

I have also ordered a set of Silverline camber adjustable topmounts, but they won't be here for about a month.

must get your 2nd link for myself :rofl:

 

have you had this weighed?

  • Author

Nah not weighed it mate

think you should :happy: is it alot nosier inside? when i had my cav in track spec i used it for a year as a daily as it wasnt really any louder :giggle:

  • Author

Nah not that loud inside.

 

I will get around to removing the sound deadening at some point, then it might get a bit louder.

ah right ok mine was bare metal :giggle: thinking about doing same as you as i hardly use it lol just need some decent seats! dunno what im looking at tbh :sweat:

Baffled sump finally fitted, absolute bitch to do, due to 1 of the 2 bolts hidden behind the flywheel deciding not to undo with a 5mm ball socket allen key and rounding itself off instead.

 

After 3 hours it finally came out, using a cheap and nasty 1/4 drive socket that was about to round itself off as the bolt came loose (the socket was about half the height of the halfords professional 1/4 10mm socket).

 

Anyway got it all back together, and then managed to pour about 1/2 a litre of fresh Fuchs Titan Race Pro S all over the rocker cover :D

 

Car smells nice now lol

A couple more new pics (I really need to sort some tyres out so I can get it back onto 17's).

Thanks :)

 

I'm thinking it's time to get decals sorted out now, but no idea what I want.

 

Just need the car to look more like a track car, and less like a stripped out road car I think.

something like this design Cossie1 

 

Race Decals

Would love something like that, but I don't think the budget would allow tbh.

stickers mate, not the car  :giggle:

 

 Please let me know what you might want, my lad has a mate who's Dad owns a company that will make anything you want on a sticker or a jacket and so on. 

 

 Just send him the biggest file size image you can find of what you want and he will print it in whatever shape you want for a price of course

Yes I know mate, but even stickers are not cheap, when there full sized car, size :(

Is it possible to buy the OEM sticker kit for the Fabia 2000 and make some of it fit?

 

 Personally I think your car looks good in a stealthy silver, stickers would draw attention and of course add weight

If weight was a worry i'd not be on track, let alone in an octy lol, more weight = more downforce :giggle:

 

Tbh the car seems to get attention as it is, but I want it to look more agressive and I think it needs decals to do that.
