Tom's Fabia

[tommccabevRS]

So bought the car last Thursday completely standard apart from a few optional extras.. heated seats, cruise control and 6 cd changer. Here she is..

So far haven't done much as I've not long had her, things I have done are Debadge the rear fabia logo, de wiper the rear and have her a good polish

Lots of plans for the car starting with a 2.5" straight through exhaust on Friday. The cars booked in for a remap at big fish tuning on the 23rd so hopefully

By then ill also have a PD160 intake and a nice panel filter.

Looks smart! Nice beading you got there too

[tommccabevRS]

Thanks man, that's just a polish too

Not wax applied yet

Not always wise to remove the rear wipers with these cars.

The shape of them always results in a messy rear end and window

Looks good, look great in black don't they! Whereabouts in Darlo are you?

[tommccabevRS]

I've always removed the rear wiper on every car I've had so I'm not fussed about the rear view window sight to much. I live just near the white horse pub mate, you from Darlo?

Used to be, grew up near the White Horse, further down Salters Lane in Harrowgate Hill. Lived off Haughton Rd for a while but now live near Bishop Auckland.

Visibility depends on how often you clean it

Think it's about time I updated this as a hell of a lot has changed :')

Let's start from the beginning and work up to now.

First thing I did was copy off Joe with the PD160 copy he did, as it was booked in for a remap. Got it mapped by big fish tuning and unfortunately the rolling road showed a faulty maf sensor so it only managed 159bhp, got home and got a new maf sensor and went back a few weeks later, was a bit more please when I came home with 177bhp and 300FtLb's

Shortly after I got seriously bored with the standard 4x4 look of the fabia so I ordered myself a set of AP Coilovers and got them fitted straight away, best mod up to date now I think handles so much better and looks 10x as good !

And shortly after my friends all chipped in and bought be a cupra splitter for my birthday

Next came the change of wheel colour ! After a long hard decision I took them to get powder coated at a new firm just round the corner from me called WheelTech, they did an amazing job and the colour is beaut in the sun, Shadow Chrome. And they day after it got a full detail and Wax just to get some photos of the new colour.

I then had a track day booked at croft circuit so changed the brakes, had an awesome day ! Stripped out the rear and made a strut brace for this too.

After that I completely destroyed the brand new Rainsport 2's I had on the front an as I had just booked another trackday at knockhill thought I treat her to some Federal 595 RSR's which are absolutely awesome !!

After a good few sessions at knockhill in 25 degrees plus they showed 0 signs of wear even at the end of the day would definitely recommend them.

One bad thing from the day thow was that I killed my turbo, the loudest siren noise all the way home :( called for a scout on eBay only to pick up a PD150 for £300. That's all on and working but it still needs an intercooler before I can get it mapped again.

And that's about it up to now, there is loads more I haven't got pictures of like, LED's all around interior and exterior, HID's, mufflerectomy, battery relocation with a small DIY box for the fuses in the bay and more... Check out my Instagram for all the other things if you aren't already following me... tommccabevrs

Booked in for the bumper to be smoothed next week before VW festival I'm sure ill see some of you there

And here's a few latest pictures of how it is now.
