  • Just had a stage 1 map from fabooka on here. Went for a high torque map with launch control, left foot braking and egr delete and it is awesome. Should of done it months ago. Also got another map I ca

  • I will do that tomorrow and hopefully that fabia at the scrapyard will be the same, I should of looked what year it was but I was too busy looking at the TT next to it with red leathers in for dan lol

  • Got my boost pipe off of niceyellowvrs and fitted it last night. Had a job to do in Birmingham today and what a pleasure it was to drive! I can't believe how much power I'd lost through the boost leak

No I've treated wheels before I'm not that clued up on detailing :( I take it it's worth me getting some?

Right you know when brake dust and tar bake on and are a. Utter nightmare to clean off? Well Carbon Collective goes on and it repels it so only a quick rinse and the wheels look as good as the day they were sprayed again

Yes I know it all too well :( I'll get some sprayed on when they're done!!

You know those carbon badges you posted Kyle? They only send you the inserts to put inside you're own badge not the badge itself.

Speaking of decals my oz racing ones came today so I started to fit them to the 3 wheels that were ready.

Cheers mate I'm pleased with them it's cost a lot but it's paid off they look well smart just hope they look right on the car, the Mrs keeps saying she doesn't think they'll look right so it's making me nervous whether they will or not. I think 17s would look better but I liked your car on the 16" team dynamics so hopefully I can pull it off

I like the fabia on 16" wheels too, I just got bored of my TDs just like I'm getting bored of the spiders now :(

The only advantage I really gained which was a good thing o changed to 17s was a bit of extra ground clearance as at the the time my ex missis was living on a farm and that extra half an inch made a world of difference getting up and down her drive.

Just remembered I'll have to stick to 16s now because got the brembos :)

Those wheels look fantastic fella, really wanted a sent of OZ Ultraleggera but couldn't justify the cost of them no matter how amazing they look. These will really suit the look of your car fella.

Cheers mate I love the ultraleggars too but far too much money. These are £750 to buy new!! Picking up a new hub tomorrow as my wheel bearing is squeeking and I'm pretty sure it's one of the main reason it judders like mad when braking so will fit that and fit my wheels too so I'll post pics :)

Bit of a sad update the octy went today and this is now the wife's car :( one of my main customers went bust and I'm not sure how it will affect me and she was putting £30+ petrol in a week so we've swapped it with her younger brother for a 54 corsa Sri cdti. To be fair the corsa is worth more but were both gutted as we loved the octy but it makes sense us having diesels. I'm using the corsa for work as it's only done 100k so she's having the fabia although she doesn't want the superturismos on she wants the standard wheels silver so I'll be advertising them tomorrow :(

Ah man that is gutting. Hope things look up for you soon
