Morning all

 

Names Steve im 22 and more than likely picking up a mk1 Fabia VRS today.

 

Been browsing the forums for couple of years. Picking up a standard Silver Fabia VRS this afternoon. Im not sure how far I'm going to go with it I have about £3000.00 to play with once I have brought it.

 

Ive Just sold my Focus st-2 which was running about 285bhp. I'm not sure if i'm mad or not just fancied a change and going over to the diesel side of things.

 

Would be grateful to hear what peoples ideas would be in what modifications to do first & in what order

I would like to get it to around 220bhp and still be reliable ideally as Ive gone from running 2 cars to go down to running 1 as im saving for a house.

 

Im based down In Gravesend in Kent and I see Darkside Developments are one of the leading people to go to but they are MMMMIIIIILLLLEEESSS away.

 

Any other specialists out there for the Fabia??

 

Il posts some pics up of my previous cars just to make the thread look a bit better.

 

Cheers

Steve.

 

Me first car Fiesta SI mk3

 

 

BMW e46 318ci, Very nice a bit slow but couldn't afford the insurance on anything bigger when I brought it 

 

Saxo VTS (probably the most enjoyable car to drive)

 

Me corsa 1.3sxi cdti (daily)

 

Finally My ST (very quick just didn't like corners)

Hi and welcome from another south-easter. You will find lots of useful info in the Fabia sections

Cheers, Was very nice and quick. just ever since I went in a Hybrid fabia I loved the feel of it.

 

Sold the ST for £6250. so got about 3k to play with on the fabia. I rang unit 18 for a price supplied fitted and mapped to get a standard fabia to 220 ish bhp

300 miles later Ive got it and am home

So? How'd it go?  EMNTK and all that...

 EMNTK???????? will get some pictures. got an absolute bargain so pretty happy there. 54k miles full service history im 3rd owner last owner had it since 2008. Got cruise control and reversing sensors etc. grill surround being sprayed weekend and Ive ordered some team heko wind deflectors.

 

I managed to get 53.7MPG on the way home which is a figure ive never seen!!!!

 

Rang unit 18 for a price to raise the power from 130 to 220 they left me a voicemail but not a price. probably about £3k??? with uprated clutch etc

 

Will upload some photos but beware it looks like its on stilts.

 

All in all very happy drives perfect feels very tight.

Hi and welcome aboard.
