Hello from Finland! (Please be patient, because English isnt my native language)

 

I recently bought Skoda Fabia combi 1.6tdi -12 with low mileage (32000km = 20000mile) and I was thinking that this is the best forum for own build thread.

Car is very basic, just manual A/C, colour White.

 

Mods I've already done:

 - Tinted rear/back windows

 - Kenwood DDX4018BT 2-din headunit (still missing microphone)

 

Coming up:

 - Lots of mods (suspension, engine, body etc.)

 

I will post some pictures soon, but we have a bad bad weather here so its impossible to take good picures (rain,snow,dark...)

 

 

 

New IC, its going to get Techline tltd coating (Black)

 

 

New (used) Garret gtd1449vz turbo. Manifold/housing also gets Techline turbo Blue coating.

Have fun fitting that intercooler 

 

the brackets don’t match up to anything and did you not get the hardpipe kit?

Is there enough room between the battery and engine?

Not yet, but I'm gonna replace my battery to Sznajder-SilverPremium (55Ah, 540A), so battery length is reduced from 242mm to 205mm. And if necessary I'm going to fabricate custom battery tray.
