Skoda Octavia MK1 VRS Corrida Red

Hello there everyone, 

 

Few updates to tell of.

Change of job, more free time and a lot more mojo and enthusiasm, read on......

 

I did have front bumper, mirror caps bit of surface rust on rear of drivers side sill, and scratch on hatch painted May last year!

Cleaned seats and carpets last Saturday with a bissell machine I bought, everything came up better but I will be doing them again once the weather stabilisers and stays warm! 

Had a load of breather pipes replaced along with metal water housings to get rid of the plastic ones apart from one near the thermostat. 

Had new flexy pipe fitted by a guy called Wayne at JAC in Hucknall cracking guy and well chuffed with his work. 

Had new wishbones and bushes done yesterday with TT rear wishbone bushes fitted, alignment being done on Monday and new front anti roll bar bushes being done on Tuesday. 

Will be ordering a rear arb very soon, mot due end of May and hopefully it will be OK

Now just turning my attention back to the suspension, I'm unsure what to do and will ponder more after the rear arb has been fitted and I've lived with it for a while, wheels are being refurbed again and I'll be fitting Michelin pilots on them to add a bit more grip and control. 

Car is coming together now once mechanical stuff is done it will be getting another detail which is long overdue but since bits have been painted and wheels have been refurbed it should look even nicer with less bits to let car down. 

 

Hope everyone is doing well 

Thanks for looking and encouraging comments along the way, car is getting better and better all the time. 

 

Cheers 

Jules
