Hi recently got my yellow monte carlo after owning a mk1 vrs I had to have another skoda always had vag cars over the years. I'm a mechanic and love to mod my cars even though I always say I won't hahaha. Anyway I'll keep this thread updated with new mods and bits and Bob's 

Well so far I have lowered it on h and r springs 40mm fitted a rear arb whiteline that I had powder coated yellow to match , fit a seat ibiza rear disc brake axle and 10mm front spacers and 312mm front brakes .

Mods to follow are 280mm rear brake conversion , dpf delete pipe darkside and full exhaust system, egr delete full removal kit, larger front mount and a custom map it's a 1.6tdi btw then a 2.0tdi turbo and clutch fly upgrade when I'm bored of that power . 

Looks good Madmilligan

Good list of upgrade for performance, I've fitted darkside hardpipe kit, aftermarket Audi S3 alloy intercooler, DPF delete, full EGR delete and a bigger CR177 2.0 Turbo

What power has that got u up to ? Am I right in saying the golf gtd turbo fits like a mk6 how did u fit the s3 cooler 

Was about 210bhp. 

The turbo is from a VW scirocco, just need to make sure the ports match up.

 

Intercooler was all custom really, made my own brackets etc...

This on a 1.6tdi sounds good 

The absolute best colour, by far! Tremendous choice!!

 

Looking forward to seeing this take shape, the Monte is the only mk2 fabia that I like lol

Chesters bud it's a marmite colour hahaha buy i love it 

Love the look of this, wish I'd gone for a yellow one now 

Recently just done a 280mm rear vented discs conversion more for looks than anything else tbh. Used 4wd 256 calipers and carriers and an adaptor kit link here 

https://www.bolt-action.nl/product/vw-mk4-280mm-rear-brake-adapter-kit-r32-s3/

 

You need 4wd calipers and carriers s3 or audi tt from the rear and 280mm vented front discs from a mk 4 golf tdi

 

Just need to paint my 312mm front to match now  

 

Also won a 2.0 tdi 170 turbo low miles which will be going on in the future 

Great choice on the rear brakes, they look perfect

 

Yes you need 4wd ones but there is a kit for 2wd set ups on eBay 

Sounds interesting, got a link to them?

Won't let me paste for some reason so here's a pic 

 

is this a direct fit if running 256mm vented rears off octavia?

The above kit yes bud

So recently I fitted the vrs intake and a pipercross panel filter the size difference is alot can only help also gutted the inside of the air box, it's a tight fit near the coolant pipes but if u move the coolant Pipe clips round it helps

Interesting, I've been looking at the K&N filter box replacement but thought it needed a bigger intake as well, looks like this would be the solution. Was the VRS intake expensive?

It was 15 pounds from dealer for intake and bit for front panel I'm looking at a vrs bottom of the air box so it fits into it better as a different angle I'll let u know how that goes
