Hi all,thought I'd start a build thread,any help or advice would be appreciated.

I bought my fabia February 2011,I had a impreza 2.5 turbo before,I love that car but cost too much to run day to day,so I waon the hunt for a fun and fast day to day drive,I went to the autosport show and skoda had a stand with the VRS on it,instantly I loved the boxy looks and the figures the dealer was telling,the next day I rang my local dealer and arranged a test drive,I fell for it as soon as I drove it,three weeks later I picked my car.

It's the blue one,I got it with black wheels as the only option,I didn't really care for any thing else,I kept it standard for a year and then started to get bored so started doing some research on modding,first mod was springs I didn't like how high it was.

I went for the h&r springs,there ok but a bit crashy,next was a dump valve,I got a deal at awesome gti that I couldn't turn down,love the wooosh!! Noise it makes,a bit Chavvy but still good.

Next was the exhaust,I wanted a bit more noise from it so I went for the cheap and cheerful option,I got a pal at demon tweeks to cut out the middle silencer and weld in a new pipe,only cost £20 bargain! Sounds a lot better!!

Next was an induction kit, I bought a forge set up off eBay only cost £90 so was a bit of bargain,I put it on a ran with it for a bit

It's set up well but doesn't work well,too small,no extra power and sounds the same as the oem box.

Next was either a remap or tuning box,I opted for a remap after getting a good price from awesome gti

It was scary watching them rip out the ecu with a grinder but after a couple of hours it was done,took the car for a brisk drive and wow what a difference!!! Why didn't I get it sooner!!

if you want to get rid of the crashy suspension, then have a look at the Bilstein B8 dampers pal, much much better than with the H&R's and comfier!

i did 3k miles on the standard shocks and Awsome GTI sorted me a decent deal on them.

Just a thought should you want to have a less crashy ride

edit : than with the standard shocks, B8 dampers+H&R's = comfier ride

Thanks Sean I'll give them a ring and get a quote off them.

The same for the weitec GT-kit ;-).

Everything is comfier then stock :-P.
