Unfortunately never made a project thread for my orange Felicia pickup but seeing as you guys are to friendly to kick me out the club for not being Skoda loyal I might as well make a thread for this.

Pickup had to be replaced for something more motorway friendly, large estate bootspace, not require as much work and welding and a bit more fun and exciting and insurable as an 18 year old. Weirdly this 200hp wagon is in a massively friendly insurance group for me.....

Have another month before I drive it as need my Ncb to complete but my Dad is enjoying it currently!

So stock at the moment but with pretty much every option ticked on a late prefacelift model. Sport pack makes it look so much better! Wheels have been refurbed and undecided on whether they are correct colour. I quite fancy doing a "brimma" and going gold

Fantastic choice. I loved my s-max but the diesel engine let it down.

Which engine did you have out of interest? the vintage 1.8, or the 2.0, or the slightly agricultural 2.2 (although I think it was a little more refined by the time they dropped it in a smax) ?

I had the 2.0 140bhp. In my ownership it had new injectors, tried to catch fire twice by pouring diesel all over the engine bay when accelerating as well as a number of other problems. Previous owners had had a new gearbox and dmf.

I fancy a 2.5t version though. There is the killaracing one which shoots flames haha!

Yes I've seen the rs green killaracing one, it's actually a s-max front end grafted on to a galaxy so even bigger!!! I fancy having this wrapped ST orange and getting the superchip that takes it to 270

That's exactly what I would have done if I had got one. ST Orange with some serious engine tuning. Mmmm. Look forward to seeing what happens with yours.

 Holy ****!

 

nice, quite fancied one of these as a family wagon, now looking at them on ebay hahahah

Its the 5 pot out of the Focus ST isn't it?

 

A wonderful little engine and I can imagine immensely fun in a family wagon...

Yes it's that never dying volvo 5 pot!

So effortless and quiet and refined vs my parents 2.0 smax.

The exhaust on this is a lot more emissions biased so (disappointingly ) quieter than an ST. Slightly down on the power too. Not that either are unfixable.....

Autoglym doing its magic on the paintwork, Metallic black reflects so well!

The body coloured bumper, spoiler and twin exhausts give it so much more purpose.

Got a little bit if orange on there now

Not everyone will like it or notice it but it means something to those in the know

Pressed plates look good too!

19" BBS CK's fitted, makes a massive difference!
