Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps

[edwards]

I find my stock 280 SportLine plenty scary hitting the loud pedal. This thing is just brilliant and terrifying in equal measure - hats off to you sir, its a masterpiece of understatement

[superbtte]

Unfortunately a house extension and one too many cars on the driveway bring an end to the sleeper story. Hope it goes to a good home...

I'm looking forward to the next project because I'm sure there will be one!

There already is, not a Skoda unfortunately though. Thus my comment for too many cars above forcing me to sell this to free up some funds

Hopefully there's already a thread somewhere that I've missed?

Everyone meet "Adarth". Started this a few months ago. Part of the "too many cars" comment and the "strong suggestion" by the OH to sell Darth.

Hi, I bought it like this. I think it's from a sportline or a Kodiaq. 

[superbtte]

£500 for an introduction that leads to a sale of the Superb  

Plus another £200 contribution to the forum.

Hmmm i have a sportline and its just leather.  Quite like the look of an alcantara steering wheel

Mite definitely the right shape from behind...even more so if the exhausts were more visibly shiny!

Actually those were mockup exhaust tips on Photoshop. These are the actual ones, look very slightly different.

I will "hate" this ADARTH.

Because of it, you sell the Superb.... I hate it.

 

 

 

.....

Just joking.

Still, I am sad to see that you give up this project. On the other hand, maybe there is not much more that you can do to the Superb.

Darth and Adarth were supposed to coexist, the 595 was not a replacement but a complimentary vehicle, being so different to the Superb. Circumstances made it imperative for me to sell one of the two and the Superb is the one that costs more to run and will return more cash for the house extension so it, regrettably, has to go...

Any chance you could hang onto Darth until my Lottery Numbers come up, I could give you a holding deposit. A tenner should cover it.

Did you have any issues with DCC and the lowering springs? I've got the sportline sedan (so another 10-15mm lower than standard) and was looking at H&R or Eibach springs but I guess it will only drop it another 15mm or so. Apparently the Passat B8 springs are compatible as well.

Hi, 

 

No issues with DCC and lowering at all.
