Nick P's Race Blue Octavia vRS TDI

Featured Replies

Factory spec:

2008 vRS TDI in Race Blue with the following factory optional extras:

  • Xenon headlights
  • Cruise control
  • Climate control
  • Jumbo box arm rest
  • Rear parking sensors
  • 18" wheels
  • Maxidot
  • Automatic rain sensitive wipers
  • Automatic lights
  • Auto dimming rear view mirror

Upgrades beyond factory spec:

  • Peloquin limited slip diff - stunning upgrade - the correct way to stop these cars understeering. Transforms the driving experience.
  • AP adjustabale suspension set to a subtle height drop, yielding much improved handling whilst retaining good ride quality.
  • Southbend Stage 2 clutch and single mass flywheel - retaining factory pedal feel but much improved drivability and reliability.
  • Darkside EGR delete - improves low end driveability and keeps the engine cleaner.
  • Professionally painted grille surround. In excellent condition.
  • L&K door and dash trims and custom piano black MFD / climatronic surround.
  • Upgraded pioneer speakers in the factory locations, dynamatted doors. Audio and power cables through to concealed location in boot for adding an amp / subwoofer. Will throw in an Alpine amp if you want, so you can just add your choice of sub.
  • Facelift aerial.

The car had a new turbo under warranty in 2010 and new injectors in 2012. The limited slip diff and clutch were also fitted in 2012.

The cam belt and water pump were replaced earlier this year.

Work carried out in preparation for sale (20 miles ago) :

New front and rear brake discs and pads all around.

New top mounts, bearings and drop links.

New rear badge.

Mileage is 79,750, mainly motorway commuting. Full service history, serviced at 10,000 intervals rather than variable regime but with 507 spec long life oil to look after the engine. Tool kit and original, full-size unused spare are present. I will include two sets of original Skoda mats, one set with embroidered vRS logos.

£7250 with BBS CH wheels pictured AND orginal 18" Zeniths with winter tyres. Good tread depths on all tyres.

£6750 without the BBS CH wheels.

The car is available immediately and is located in Sheffield.

Kenwood DNX520VBT touch screen satelite navigation with bluetooth (pictured) available by negotiation.

This is a very well known car, having won prizes at several shows over the time I've owned it:

Cheers Mike. Best car I've ever owned. It's a shame to let it go but as I've talked about previously, I just can't justify keeping it now I don't have time for shows and I no longer need to drive to work.

Someone will be getting a unique piece of Briskoda History with this one Nick!

Currently trying to sell the wife's car, if it goes shortly I'll be giving you a call! That'll be two VRS's in the driveway then :)

All the best with the sale Nick. Make sure it finds a caring home :thumbup:

Seen this car numerous times, and can vouch for it being one of the nicest MK2's around

 

To anyone interested in buying, you really cant go wrong with this, Nick is a genuine enthusiast and nice guy to boot!

I'll agree with that, seen the car at the National Meet, Stunning

I'll agree with that, seen the car at the National Meet, Stunning

IMO it was the best car at the meet

Currently in a mood because no matter how I work my finances I still can't buy this and have a new kitchen fitted at the same time :( 

 

Hope the sale goes well mate, Stunning car! 

I know you don't need a car but you never know until you ask.. Swap it for a '58 Ford S-Max? :)  .

Absolutely stunning car with subtle but great modifications.... if I can just get the funds.... :D

Replied to your PM :)

Bargain, this car is Mint and always is , did you take off the short shifter, ( top recommendation, or forget to add to spec sheet ? 

  • Author

Thanks Alan. Neuspeed short shifter will be available very shortly in my big Christmas bonanza! :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Interested in a swap for a mk5 r32???

Is this remapped too? A very nice looking car, almost too nice for me but I am looking for something cheaper to run that's still fun. 

If by some miracle this is still for sale in the new year then give me a shout as I'll be all over this like a rash!

Exactly what I'm looking for just a month early!

Stunning car.. I can't PM you, do you mind sending me a phone number/email address to contact you. I am interested in the car and I have few questions. Thanks

After not driving it for a month, I took this out for a drive just to charge the battery earlier this evening. Made the error of picking an overly enjoyable route. I forgot how good it is to drive. I'd 100% keep it if I didn't have to finance so much work on the house. :(

I can't pm don't know why but drop me a text I'm very interested....07909091210. Jonny

Nick,

 

Is this car still available?

 

Many thanks,

 

Monty

Hi Monty. Yes it is. I'll drop you a PM

 

Gabi - I'll try calling you again tomorrow. I wasn't able to call Ireland from my work mobile.

 

I'll give you a call tomorrow too Jonny.

 

Cheers,

 

Nick

I forgot to mention, I put a new premium (Bosch Silver Plus 5007) battery in the car last week.

 

So, with that done, I can't think of anything that the car will need for a long time to come. Remember it's got brand new brake discs and pads, top mounts and bearings, drop links and recently had the cam belt, water pump and clutch done.
