Hi my name is James I'm 22 and live in the glasgow area.

 

Just recently purchaced a Skoda octavia Mk1 on a 57 reg that needs little tlc.

 

I'm sure i'll be after some help and advice along the way as I modify and repair my 1.9tdi lumped workhorse.

 

 

Welcome James!

How u finding the Skoda so far?

Good car, good on fuel, Love how comfortable it is and how it ride's smoothly need to do somthing with the suspension to improve handling :P Having problems with the sump the threads are stripped so it's off to an auto engineers next tuesday :(

Glad u like it! :-)

Yeah get that fixed!

U have big plans for it (ref suspension etc)?

Lower it slightly, Replace steel wheels with suitable looking alloys Maybe go for a remap later in the year. Possibly decat and custom exhuast but Got a few other odd's and ends to tidy up first before i get into all that :P

How much u gona lowered it by?

Coilovers of fixed?

Is decat legal nowadays?

Thought i read somewhere about changes in MOT that they WILL check for cats and DPFs these days?
