Chris' monte aka bumble bee

[Madmilligan]

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 

[Madmilligan]

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 .

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 

[hutchysrs50]

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

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

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 

[Madmilligan]

[hutchysrs50]

Great choice on the rear brakes, they look perfect

 

[Madmilligan]

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

[hutchysrs50]

Sounds interesting, got a link to them?

[Madmilligan]

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

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?

[Madmilligan]

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
