superb Sparkly's Racing Barge 1.8tsi 4x4

they sell them for the fabia too...

Pondering intakes for when the engine work happens.

Looks like the choices are Neuspeed P-Flo, Carbonio or VWR.

Again a nice convenience that 2.0tsi intakes are all good for the 1.8tsi, just need to look at listings for other cars as the majority of companies list very little for the Superb.

Are you considering it Dave?

I have been told that the Carbonio intake looks the dogs BUT does nothing at all for the performance....Have you done some research?

I have and I believe that is true of the 2.0tfsi where the intake is integrated into the engine cover as stock. But I read good things on the new carbonio for the 2.0tsi and 1.8tsi.

Plenty of good word on all three, Neuspeed will be loudest, the others may have a small edge as they are enclosed CAI's, Neuspeed is about 30% cheaper.

I'm waiting for Jab to try them out

Annoying discovery my car has a revision of the control arms originally on the Superb.

Polybushes and Whiteline kit no good :(

[Skoda_Saint]

That sucks, can you return them for the correct set?

[Sparkly]

So interesting turn of events, Project Racing Barge is indefinitely cancelled!

My dream of a unique track beast is sadly being shelved before it's even gotten going.

.................but not a bad reason to have to do it.

In a little less than 9 months we are getting a Mini-Sparkly. :)

It feels like this was never meant to be in some ways, but I'm glad not to have made more progress with only springs fitted. Although firmer ride and morning sickness don't mix so they may even be stripped within a week or so of going on the car.

Life eh?

Congrats! Life is more important than a track beast :sun:

[Skoda_Saint]

Congrats on your forthcoming new arrival and commiserations on the cancellation of your project! See how the springs go and your focus, rightly so, is on your new arrival and not on your toy. I'm sure you can sell the parts purchased should you want to with no issues. Congrats to you both again!

[BossFox]

Priorities defintely in the right order.

 

Congratulations mate.

[JakeBlade]

[Prykey]

[Leon-y-k]

[Wile7]
