Ok blokes, well as you can see my name has been changed to luckyvRS20vT because I must be the most unlucky soul on here haha

Anyone ever blown the lid (plastic part) of their intercooler clean off???

Well this happens to me earlier, boost boost boost BANG! :-o

Just sayin :-/ lmao

Off to pick up a replacement tomorrow for now until I get my front mount mounted. Ohhh the joys

Note to self, dont send you to buy a car for me haha

Mate thats unlucky, how do you manage these things lol

Maybe the car is just very eager to be a stage 2 car.

It doesn't want a ****ty sidemount cooler anymore. 

I think you should have your own forum section, as your experiences with a vRS is a bit of a soap opera! "Octavia: chapter and vRS", sponsored by TPS and Briskoda.net.

I actually look forward to seing your posts i'd love to see your face when it breaks

 

I remember mine popping a boost pipe off on rollers and I thought id had thrown a rod never mind splitting cooler

Thanks boys for the ummm... support?? Lol

My face was a friggin picture alright.. I looked across at my cousin and first thing I said was "she's only gone and thrown a blinkin rod"!!

The nose was that loud!! :-o

It's back together now, I'm soaked right through and apprehensive about anything over half throttle to say the least haha

But the car is going into my buds garage tomorrow so he can make brackets to mount my front mount.. And then hopefully the pipework I have for it which came off a golf, I can make fit.....

Madness. 

FFS mate

 

 

Lol.. I am made of tough stuff so I will just keep pluggin away. I wont let it beat me!!

And I thought my 25 year old e30 kept me on my toes to keep going hahaha

Wooshhh BANGG!! See ya laters cooler waaa

You're an animal lol

next thing on your list will be tyres as yours ain't gonna last long ;-)

Im more inclined to say clutch mate. A pair of rear tyres used to last me 2 weeks on my e30 :-o lol so they dont really bother me :-o

well these tyres will last you longer as its always off road haha sorry had to say it

 

anyway how did you get on with coil packs did they change them

Crikey mate you've had some issues with this one I thought I'd spent some cash on mine. Look at it this way in 6 months time they'll be nowt left to change and you'll have a minter.

I am trying to think with that frame of mind bud honest :-/

Coil packs were changed yes took em bloody hour n 20 odd :-o

Could have did them in the carpark myself in 10 mins lol

to say i didnt see it coming would be a huge understatment mate lmao... but the car is getting there now.

I just dont think these octys like the welsh roads as ive had nothing but trouble since having mine. 2 turbos,gaskets,oil pickup,steering rack,and now something else still to be diagnosed lol

It's def in the air then mate I'm glad I'm not alone (that's not to wish any misfortune on you lol).. But finally she is starting to be a great car...
