how this scrap fabia with a little of this  turns into this 

the car stared life off as a 1.4 8v with a 156k no mot no tax a blown head and bald tyres which cost me a grand total of a £140 through a friend in the trade, back in july last year. All that mattered was that the shell was in good order as the rest would been thrown in the bin. Since then the car has been on my driveway and been worked on by myself with a little help from some friends in the evenings after work and at the weekends, transforming it into the 275.4 bhp 300 ib/ft and 20 psi of boost sleeper it is today. will post more pictures and details of the work later 

Nice 

 

Assume you've bolted on a K04 or a K03S hybrid for that?

 

I'm going to need to up the mongrel a little more to keep ahead of these petrol turbo fabias coming through

Sounds good.

But more info/pics needed.

 

Shame you only posted up when it was finished as I like following the progress of projects like this.

I hope your ready to be bombarded with questions about how you went about doing it XD

 

Looks good, as said its a shame we couldnt see the project through its stages. But none the less looks good

K04-023 and was mapped by Shark Performance its a brilliant map and very happy with it. I have a shed load of pictures that i will put up in order of things being done. Its more of a last minute thing tbh several people have asked if ther was a thread, never done one before so here it goes. I will list full spec at lunch.

My main concern was interfacing the engine to the dash/electrics.

Did you get that sorted and keep the stock dash working?

well in the end i decided to transfer the entire loom from my octy vrs. This had its problems with the electric windows and converted them back to manual. All the other things such as lights etc were easy enough to sort out. I transferred the door locks the steering column, clocks, ecu this made life very easy as far as getting the engine to start because i knew everything worked fine in the octy plus i kept the mileage for the engine and the 160 mph clocks   

 

believe me though having a entire loom which spans the front of the drive and more was a slight reality check, sat on the boot of the fab head in hands thinking wtf have i done, quick brew and carried on.

Nice work.

 

I've got a Fabia and a similar age Seat Ibiza FR so like you have both cars.

 

Certainly interesting to hear how you got it working and fair play, that must be a PITA but it works!

That's the main thing.

 

The Fabia that thinks it's a Octy.

Awesome

Like How Fast (August this year) and the April/September Skoda sessions at Castle Combe circuit.

yes i think it would be rude not too 

And the Blyton National meet trackday too.

dead engine removed

along with most of the front end

the head lights were an advisory on the last mot because the lenses had began to discolor so polished them back up nice and clear using autoglym  glass polish and 4000 grit wet and dry. all the suspension went on the scrap pile, wishbones grit blasted and painted bright yellow ( just had it in the shed doing nothing) and powerflex bushes were fitted on the front end. everything was replaced top mounts, ball joints etc. 

started to make some parts fairly soon such as the 80mm tip which cost me around £40 

machined the solid selector bushes on my lunch break, i used octy gear selector rods in the fabia gear linkage box which kept things simple

Purchased a Jabba sport rarb yesterday can't wait to fit it, anyone else got one???

Off topic but what wheels were on the octavia?

Nice work btw
