[bowen]

Hello,

After being told I should start a thread here it is;

After selling my Audi, which was rinsing me of all my money (not running costs buy maintenance) I fancied saving a bit of money and buying something economical. It was Catmans Vrs which made me decide on buying a Fabia and it had to be black!

.

I really wasn't going to mod this, then 2 reasons why it went the other way. Briskoda and Joshh.

Quick brief;

06 plate

Fabia Vrs

BLT

312mm brakes

AP Coilovers/new mounts/bearings and eventually cupra bump stops.

Decat

Audi TT comps

Whiteline RARB

And other bits a pieces.

Pictures speak a thousand words

Old car

The Fabia

Brakes & coilovers

Then coilovers started to settle and needed adjusting

Joshh braking stuff

TT comps refurbed and fitted

And that's it.

Will update as and when, cheers.

That audi looked the buisness mate. Loving the comps as said before.

Been meaning to ask a few times what is czechmate all about?

[vRS19TD]

Nice.

Really like the TT comps.

Audi was cool joe, but the engine was shot. Low compression on 2 cylinders and a lumpy start from cold.

Joshh fitted the cupra bushes and we lowered it a tad more. Then had tyres fitted to the comps.

The #czechmate thing is just a Instagram thing, you can # anything and you or your followers can click on that # and link to all your images. Just a gimmick thing. E.g you could #fabiabannana

Thanks vrs19td

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Ahh i see i thought it was abit random lol. Need to lower mine more on my new wheels now. Whats your set up front and back now?

[bowen]

It is random budd. All the cool kids do it (lol).

12.5 threads from the bottom on the front. All the way down at the back.

Since they were first fitted on that very cold day, one of the rear springs wasn't seated correctly meant it twanged over every bump. All sorted now.

Loving the APs.

Are you coming to Combe joe?

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Damn gunna have to think of a good hashtag now.

Yer i will be there but with the eurocartel boys. I will be poping over to the brisk stand though to have a nose.

[JoshH]

Blame me for you sinking your money into it :p

Glad you got a project going matey, I love the comps

Here's some proof you do some work too cheers for that sneaky pic of me too

Looks like a bargain.

Not young or cool, but I like the czechmate title.

I like your style, even if it's not true.

Look forward to seeing the car at Combe.

Don't let Joshh break it before then.

[Dark_Hero]

I look forward to meeting all of you at Combe

[JackClap]

Glad to see you finally got a build thread! looking good with the comps on

[bowen]

Cheers jack, can only hope to get it as clean/black as yours.

Not really into detailing as such but I saw this beading after using poor boys black hole and autoglym sealant

Really enjoyed castle Combe action day. Thanks to Boss Fox for taking me out in the Nissan, literally the fastest 12mins of my life loved it! Very nice meeting the briskoda gang. Was on tender hooks all day then waiting for my session.

The Fabia got a fair bit of attention at the stand mainly "that looks low, ooo look at the plate and nice armrest" little things but made me smile.

Track session soon came around, I was in the mixed session and one of the last out so don't think I over took anything. This in turn made me angry and now it's safe to say the need for speed is within me. I was surprised by some of the Fabias out with us korban's Fabia for one surprised me or that could have been his ability to drive better than I..

On track pic:

Now I have it looking pretty much as I want it power is next on the agenda.

FMIC and pipe work

Exhaust and down pipe

Remap

Also genuine xenons are on their way to me.

[Dark_Hero]

Glad you enjoyed Combe mate, your car was looking good. I was nervous too after seeing the crashes throughout the day.

My brother got this pic of your car

[bowen]

Cheers mate.

Yeah the crashes combined with the outrageously over powering cars on the track with us, made it one hell of an experience.

[BossFox]

Car looked good.

Nice to meet you on Saturday.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Car looked great at combe mate. Caught your track session aswell and those wheels look great on the move.

[bowen]

Thanks gents

[joe_vrs_tdi]

No way! You had the water issue look at have you?

[bowen]

Updates.

So today on a slight hangover in the sun, josh and I decided to fit my OEM Xenons.

I think it brings the car right up to date and gives it eyes!

Also fitted rear parking sensors which work a treat. No photos, as I was too nervous watching josh out holes in the bumper.

Good day all around.
