Traded my 1998 Impreza Wagon in and got myself a shiny red Fabia vRS!!

I'm going to miss the Scoob, but will welcome the fuel economy and 1/3 of the insurance!!!

Initial thoughts after bringing it home and running along a familiar bit of road............superb in-gear performance, handles ok, ride is similar to the Scoob, but the shorter wheelbase makes it slightly more "unsettled".

Same speed, same road...........not as confidence inspiring as the Scoob, but certainly not bad at all!!!

Build quality is excellent and I now have 60,000 less miles on the clock, and the trip computer (although generaly regarded as a bit optimistic) showed an average of 51.3mpg for the run!!!!

Eibachs, 17's and REVO or Star Performance remap planned. I hear I can get REVO done in Darlington.......anyone know where?? I fancy it, but with the SPS1 to switch back to standard (should it break).

I NOW HAVE A FURBY!!!!!!:dopey:

Incidentally......wheels are same PCD as the Scoob.............now where did I put those 18's I had??? LOL (I know, I know.......offset is different!!!!)

Nice car mate, welcome along!

Can't answer your mod questions i'm afraid, i can't afford to even think about mods!

Welcome anyway!

I'd add the Jabbasport rear ARB to the list, it will help a LOT with the handling.

Brake upgrade may not be the worst idea either but that's up to you
