Bought my fabia off joe preece a few month ago, you will all know the car! Anyways picked up my first vrs, got it back and after a few week the cooling system started pressurizing under boost, so finally got the head off and found out the head was cracked in 2 places, go on with a brand new head and pd150 head bolt, uprated head gasket and brand new cambelt water pump the lot! so after getting it running properly, it just didnt feel as quick as it should have so got the turbo set up correctly, and a better remap, not sure of the power figures, but i now have launch control and a hardcut limiter, also alot better pull through all the gears and a lot less smoke!

Thisw is how it was when i picked it up


Got a bit bored of the silver wheels so they went black

Then they went copper, also fly eyed head lights



Then decided to get some new wheels, was going to get some Rota D154's but then these rotiform neu 17x8 came up at a very reasonable price, only 3 months old with near new nankang ns2's 185 35 17, i had 15mm spacers on all round but the rear 2 ended up cracking so now currently running no spacers, waiting for my new 20mm ones to arrive, wheels are et30 so will be et10 on the back and no spacers on the front for a nice bit of tuck.



 



Also a few pictures of border city vags stand and a few other fabia's at CumbriaVag!

 

Got a few plans for the fab so will keep you updated!!
 

 

 

You still got the steelies?

Who mapped your car? It looks sooty. Mine was never like that when I had a decent map on my hybrid.

I like this though!
