Hi there

I've just bought a brand new Fabia vrs as my new daily runabout

I was looking for a car with good fuel consumption and good overall speed and it hit the mark. Never owned a Skoda before.

My main car is a Nissan 350Z, but it's not enormously practical in city centres, in multistory car parks or taking stuff down the tip! Hence the Skoda purchase.

I bought it at a dealer -

Welcome :wave23d:

Hope you'll be happy with the Fabia - bet it won't be too long before the modifying starts

noooo must resist must resist

Congrats on your purchase. I guess you'll be swapping the Nissan for an Octy VRS when they hit the market then!

Welcome to Briskoda

ha ha not quite!

Friend has one and he can't stand the constant stream of ****ed people trying to get into his car at traffic lights! (I live in Brighton)

Do I detect a Skoda taxi jibe. Folks, I need backup here. I think we've got an anti-Octy member on the forum!

Not in the slightest - Octavia is a perfectly good car, as far as I can tell. But the above statement is regrettably true :(

A friend of mine used to have a nissan bluebird many years ago.

He'd always get people trying his doors after a lift

Whenever i drive back from my mates i get ****ed people jumping out into the road trying to flag me down.

It doesn't look or sound like a taxi!

Dual Systems is great. Been running mine for almost 10K. No problems. Makes a big difference.

If your after a remap. Have a search round the site. loads of people out there. Think Jabba is the cheapest.

Welcome :wavey:

Welcome! Two great cars

Picking car up tomorrow. Woohoo!

By the way, do people think I got a good price? (

yeh pretty good fella

Get mine tomorrow too !!

Nice choice with the furby, for a small car it has a grunty engine!

Loving your Z, the rear bumper/spoiler is very nice

I have been out in one with an invidia exhaust and although the sound was amazing it was VERY loud so i think you made the right choice.

mmm supercharger

Welcome,the Fabia VRS is a cracking little car!

didn't I read some performance test data, that said the furby vRS was quicker between 50-70 than the 350zx ?!

*waits for the fighting talk..... lol.....

Dunno, never heard of a 350zx

If you meant the 350Z, it's possible - the Z weighs twice the Fab and is normally aspirated meaning you need to go through the gears to get the best out of it. The magazine test for 50-70 is usually done 'in one gear', and when stuck in one low gear, the turbo of the Fab will cover the rev range much more strongly. That said, the Z is faster point to point than most cars, and anyone telling me their Fab is faster has a whole bag of screws loose

It's less likely with the 300zx, as a lot of 300zx's were turbo'd and I doubt the Fab would have outdone them 50-70, unless it was a 'lag' issue. Interesting post!!

the Z weighs twice the Fab

really ?!?

No, I was exaggerating...

Fab VRS approx 1100k

350z approx 1500k
