My vRS...

[marcinp]

Its quite annoying that even the VRS actually sits around the same hight as the normal octavia ? 

It looks like a tractor it is very strange for sporty car :/

b12 kit will make a big change you will love it, I will go for them also but later this year

Hello mate, nice motor!! I'll be following this thread with interest, now I've joined the ranks of the VAG from Toyota ownership too.

Marcin, I would go for H&R 40mm.. had it on my last Octy RS for 210kkm, its still comfy enough and you wont mess up the car..

why would 50mm mess it up?

why would 50mm mess it up?

what i read and heard from different people is that one should not use more than 40 mm lowering springs with original shock abs.. In my case i had as well a different ET (35) on the wheels (summer) so with 3 persons in the back and bumpy roads turned out to be less optimal. with original wheels howeer it was OK..

I would agree with this your shocks will last for long if you decide to go 40 mm then 55mm

well as i wrote mine lasted for 8 years and 210 000 km.. and the car is still rolling... what I would add is that H&R 40mm will not lower the Sport suspension on the RS by 40mm but only about 25mm,  But you guys know this i guess

because the rs is 15mm lower than the standard octavia ?

[marcinp]

since 2007 running on diesel... cheaper to run but not faster.. :( my previous turbo cars a volvo and a saab run both on petrol and were mapped and both did 250km/h+.. The RS wouldnt go faster than 230 after remapping (205 HP and 420 Nm) and the BigBoy (Superb) was not maxed yet..

hello hello

 

first sorry for late replay , I just picked my wife and my very new boy for hospital so busy now!!!

I never knew you are with VAG Group now , what was the reason your Rolla was beautiful , have you kept her or no? I'm missing mine so much ;( thanks for your nice comment 

Yes Shark or Revo they can do amazing things with this engines the only problem now for me is money and time I'm very busy with my son but yeah defo in near future

I bought the Fabia as I needed something more economical to run and sold the Rolla to Sam the same day. Yeah I miss the Rolla too but I think I made the right choice as it was costing me too much.

Congratulations on the new born, all the best mate

[Hun1]

big congrats from me too Marcin!

So Jay's on here too is he? This place seems to be the refuge for the ex-Corolla community!!

 

I know you're thinking about a remap Marc, so was going to let you know I've just found this place which is about 20 minutes from where I work.

Have asked them to quote me for a remap on the Octy so will let you know what price they come back with.

yes I think this is new place for ex-Corolla boys  

Please let me know how much they want to do yours, mine might be different because it's 2.0 TSI chain not belt driven , have you heard all this scary stories about engines like mine : http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/266114-18tsi-and-20tsi-engine-failures/ I think it will be much safer to do my chain tensioner first and then remap   I never knew this engine has this problem before I bought it. I've asked Skoda dealer and they want £900 to replace my chain and tensioner . My car is still under warranty so don't really know what to do. If I want new tensioner I need to pay because there is nothing wrong with it now but the day can come :( anyway please let me know how much they asking

thanks
