Hi everyone! We welcomed our new Octavia yesterday. Its a 2021, 2.0 TSI it has all the right boxes ticked and the color is spot on.

The plan for now is to lower it and add some maxton bits to it. But we will see how it will progress.

Very nice!! 🤤

Over the weekend we put wheels spacer on the car. 12mm in front and 15mm in back, and it made a huge visual difference. In the next ~10 days the coilovers should arrive and i will put some before-after pictures.

Today we put coilovers onto the car, it lowered the car additional 2cm or to put it better, the tire is now 1cm from the fender. I will get some pictures later this week.

Would love to see some photos please

Also interested, any pics of how it worked out???

Here you go, few pictures included. Bear with me as the resolutions are wacky, the max upload size is killing it.

Current status of the car:

Remus exhaust fitted - huuuuge improvement of sound from stock

Lowered it a bit more then firstly

Got OZ ultraleggeras 20 inch wheels

Installed centerlock kit cover on the Oz ultraleggeras

Tinted the windows

 

Everything is atested besides the exhaust - Croatians controls got really strict in the last few years and its much better to just make the car legal then avoid police.

 

Next week:

Installing a big brake kit going to 390mm.

Atesting the exhaust.

 

 

Excellent, thank you 

 

I have a Race Blue one coming, yours looks great

 

Can you give more info on the setup, which suspension did you go for, what height, what size width and et are the wheels, any scrubbing issues etc?

 

Also, did you have to get ACC recalibrated with new suspension setup and any others?

I went for the ST XA suspension as KW did not have anything available at that moment. Now its nearly flush with the tire, but i got like 2 cm more drop back and 1.5 cm up front.  I'm really happy with it and there is no ride quality difference from stock. Wheels are 9 wide i think and et43. This is without any spacers. I did not need to have the ACC calibrated, asked in few places including skoda service points. And i can even say that now i have a felling it recognizes the cars better when they are in front. No idea how that works, but again maybe its a felling.

Today we test fitted big brakes with a 390mm brake disc. Everything fits more or less, but the gap between the wheel and caliper is to close. Waiting for wheel spacers next week and then will go to MOT to try to atest everything and get it written into the cars papers.

 

All mounted, tested. Brake pedal feel is the same, braking power is the same i would say under normal driving. I will have soon a track day and then we will see if the bigger surface will help with cooling / brake fade.

Updates:

 

Installed remus exhaust and became a dealer for them. I'm really happy with the exaust but IMO i want the car louder.

As Autotuner managed to crack the ecu and official support starts on the 28.9. I'm ordering a down-pipe + turbo muffler delete + WMI and hope to see 350hp soon or more if the turbo will be able to push so much.

Yesterday i tried to install bigger rear brakes but i was missing centering rings for the disk brakes. The upgrade should be from 312 to 356.
