    Bryan has hit the nail smack bang on the head.   I am looking at what I need.  Which honestly is err.. nothing. With the mental Citigo, quick Yeti VRS, practical Yeti and a Jap car or two I've alre

No fog lights though...

Must be a different EU spec.

Looks half way between a Classic and a Comfort to me.

 

Not that I've thought about it. :D

Different front bumper to UK as well from what I can see

    No.

    I fancy one more crazy project to keep me going for a year or so.

    And I've always had a soft spot for a WRC.

    Link?

    Got the link.

    Yes I've been watching that 1.8t 4x4 Fabia with the cup bodywork on FB, but not seen that yet.

    I was thinking of just going a bit silly.

    Like a WRC with as close to 1,000bhp as you can get.

    Non-VAG drivetrain if required.

    More research required. :D

    Still a thought.

    Maybe rotary.

    W*nkel Fabia. :D

    Some RX-7's running over 1,000bhp on three rotor engine.

    Summer research project I think.

    I can't remember what car page it was on now, it just appeared on my news feed.

    I guess the rx7 engine has some tuning potential :)

    Crashed R35 running gear tuned a bit? Actually bloody tight and very very expensive

    And heavy.

    There are options clearly.

    But it's going to need to be a longitudinal set up.

    And a v configuration? Or could you stick with a highly tuned 4 cylinder?

    Aren't there a few american v8's tuned to app. 1000 bhp?

    If you wanted to stay with VAG, & could find a used Veyron......?

    What's the limit, so far, on the RS engines from Audi.... 350bhp from an old 2.7 on chip so newer and more power engines should be about.. (to try and keep it VAG)

    Plenty, but I just like the idea of saying I've got a w*nkel Fabia. :D

    I like the idea of a full on hot rodded V8 Fabia, with a supercharger sticking out of the bonnet...

    supra running gear is capable of those figures, tried and tested

    Just don't let autocorrect deal with that one.
