vRS tales of woe, skint :(

Featured Replies

It's an expensive month for me:-

4 new tyres (hankook ventus v12 evo2) to replace the gash nexens fitted by previous owner. £264 delivered, £48 fitting.

Ordered ecs stage1 clutch with lightweight flywheel from Awesome (not arrived yet) to replace my slipping dual mass pile of junk. £340 delivered, fitting unknown.

My exhaust snapped at the backbox and has forced my hand to replace the whole system due to stage2 plans. £810 delivered, fitting unknown.

There is more to do, this is just the must do, skint :(

I feel for you mate.  I've just had a couple of big bills for the car and to top it all off the washing machine caught on fire last week too!  It goes in phases with cars I've found and sometimes feels like we're working to pay for the car.  You'll come out the other side and have a good period of time too though.

To be fair, I'm sure there are far cheaper options than a £810 exhaust for an Octavia! :D .

 

Still if its hobby then fair do's ;).

That's a nightmare also mate, hope all is ok.

It will be worth the hassle when it's finished, it's just typical that it's everything at once, I was in the middle of sourcing all the necessary parts for my fmic with bam inlet setup when this happened :( typical, anyway I'm going all in now :D
