Purchased this off VRS Mike in March, and its been slowly making its way to the top of my to do list, after selling my track car.

 

 

 

 

So, back to the Octavia, purchased like this:

 

 

 

 

 

Must give VRS Mike a big thanks, for being a great person to deal with very honest seller.

 

Got it home and gave it a good detail.

 

 

 

Done a few things to get started ( nothing out the ordinary ) replaced the rear skoda badge and debagded the rest,  BMC CDA, S3 lower brace, Milltek downpipe, Forge TIP, wheels powder coated, Team Heko's, Cupra splitter and seats.

Very nice Octy sam! soft spot for the yellow i must say

omg im leaving mine is the redest going!!! plus what does it matter im to quick for the human eye

 

 

 

love it really wish i got yellow

 

what was in the mx?

Thanks for the welcome.

 

MX5 was a Eunos 1.8, completely stripped out. No carpet, heaters, glove box, air con etc etc. just two lotus elise seats and a roll cage.

 

Future plans for the Skoda are front mount, already have a welly cooler, but no pipe work some recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Then stage 2 map.

Im sure that mx5 was kicking around swindon not long ago...

Anyhoo nice vrs!!

Got my Millotec B-pillar covers on and finished the lamin-x on the headlights

 

Fitted HPA short shifter today, must say the gear changes are loads better. Got Draft 42 bushes to do next. 

What was the shifter like to fit? been considering this my self as the octy gear change isn't the best. I've already got the draft 42's and verdict bushes so is a bit better but still too much throw on the lever for my liking.

Love the yellow looks good wish I'd never sold my yellow one. [emoji20]

To be honest I found the shifter really easy to change, and I'm no expert with the spanners. 

Draft 42's are on. Had to file out the 8mm one a little as even though it looked the same size as the plastic one I removed it was just to tight to get on the pin. 

Shifts are much more precise and its tightened gear changes up nicely.

 

Verdict bushes up next.

Verdict Bushes now fitted and to be honest I cant tell much difference, but I'm sure there doing something!

Not updated this for a while, its been at Midland VW for the last week had the following done:

 

R32 FARB

Neuspeed RARB

Welly cooler 

Cupra r calipers, Brembo discs and pagid pads 

Ported and polished intake manifold 

Full service and oil pick up changed

 

Must say they did a great job.

 

Off to Rtech tomorrow for Stage 2

This little lot helped me to get 240bhp and 280lbs of torque

Never would of guessed a Green cam cover was so beneficial   

Now with green that helps it to stop
