Dohboys Mk2 Octavia VRS Wagon

[SNH]

Haha no probs dude, getting waited on hand and foot ain't all bad

Glad it's about sorted for you now though

[dohboy78]

Took my bro for a spinal injection today... Got to drive his Octy VRS wagon back. Also did his first mod...

Superskoda grill and surround... Looks nice.

[dohboy78]

Fixed my car today... Brake wear sensor had become disconnected! Re-connected... Sorted.

[dohboy78]

Lazer wheel alignment done today... Feels even better now!

[dohboy78]

Had dent man sort out my bonnet today. After a close encounter with a cyclist the bonnet had 4 big dents and 1 small one. Looks brilliant, best £40 I've spent so far!!

From this...

(Pics don't do the damage justice!)

To this...

So decided a clean and polish was in order!

[dohboy78]

New discs and pads ordered as well as a piston wind back tool!

[dohboy78]

Some new stickers on way too.

[dohboy78]

New discs, pads and stickers arrived! Tuesday for fitting!

[dohboy78]

Fitted new discs and pads all round... Took about 6hrs... But did it all myself.

Clean and a few more bit to add tomorrow!

[dohboy78]

Went for a drive today to take paint off surface of discs. Seem to bite quite well already. Bit of a whooshing noise at lower speeds with the window down... Grooves! Now have semi-shiney discs...

Also fitted my new chrome rings to the climate knobs... Ties in nicely with the stereo now.

[dohboy78]

Brakes are really sharp. Very happy.

New wheels on the way due to lacquer issues with the first lot.

Slightly different style coming too!

[dohboy78]

They are on. Think I prefer them to the others...

[SNH]

Look to be a deeper dish too?

Nice

What are the wheel and tyre specs?

Wheel whore

Although they would look nice with gold centres

Yeah... Wanted anthracite centres... But they had none.

Also because the face of the wheel is flatter than the others the lip is bigger.

[dohboy78]

Nice

What are the wheel and tyre specs?

Wheels are 8x18" front and 9x18" rears.

Will have to check the tyre size etc.

[dohboy78]

MOT passed today thanks to fellow Briskodians help. No advisories either! [emoji4]

I had his old Octavia VRS TDI , the amount of proper bodge jobs, cheap replacement parts and things I had to sort out and replace was constant

 

Left me pretty much immaculate 200+ bhp and 570-610 miles per tank

 

Got a Superb DSG 170 Estate elegance now - good pics to follow

I only changed the coilovers and found a few bodge's on it so I can only imagine what you found when delving deeper

On your VRS? or did you work on this one as it did have coilovers at one point
