A little later than anticipated (can't even get my e-mail address right) but here we go. Appologies for the newbie tediousness.

Previous cars of note: Saxo VTR, Saxo VTS.

New car (being picked up next week): 03 Octavia Estate 4x4.

Age: 26, 27 very soon.

Location: South Yorkshire

Job: Mechanical Engineer.

Mods planned: Just a remap, but probably not for a year or so until I've paid the car off.

Hello All.

Btw, can I interest anyone in a Magnex exhaust for a 02 VTS? No, some MTX audio then or maybe a Becker Mexico H/U?

Becker? I thought they were the choice of Mercedes... How come you're selling it?

Welcome to Briskoda, DaveH, and let me be the first to congratulate you on your forthcoming addition to the family!

See below for what Jabba can do for a very modest sum of money...

Welcome aboard Dave :wave:

Get it re-mapped, you know you want it !!!!

Welcome to the forum Dave.

Welcome Dave!

You won't regret your choice, I'm sure.

REMAP

Thanks for the replies fellas. Aye yes, remap, that's what got me into this whole mess! My mate just bought a Ibiza Cupra and him being new to the modifiying, owners club etc scene, I thought i'd do a bit of research for him and send him some owners club and tuning links. That's when I found out what a tunable beast the 1.8T is. A bit of thinking about bigger, more practical, more comfortable cars with tuning potential, a 'drop in' to the local dealer and two test drives later, I'm now awaiting collection of my shiney new Octavia. Was the same with the VTS, I only test drove it because the VTR was in for a service and out I came with a new car! Just call me sucker!

Jon - Yeah, Becker is the choice of some nice high end cars, saw the H/U on Top Gear once in an Aston Martin. Will break my heart to sell it, its a lovely piece of kit, but I don't think i really want to start messing with the radio on another car, especially as it would mean losing the 6 disc. Still, if the SQ is bad the Becker and MTX stuff may soon find a new home!

Dump the standard HU. And the speakers.

Welcome, from another South Yorkshire type person.

Hey Rich, are you Jabba'd or any other type of chip? Would be very interested in a passenger ride at some convienient point.

Thanks Huck.

Welcome on board Dave!

So there are two of those? Oooo, that's eerie...

Welcome to Briskoda, Dave!

Hi and Welcome to Briskoda!

I'm sure you'll enjoy your 4x4 and when you're ready to start "tinkering" take a little trip over to the Discounts and Company Forum. Alos regularly check out the Group Buy section as there's always something on or, if you want something and we can get enough interest, then we can organise something.

Cheers.

Adrian.

p.s please don't say you got a Dynamic Blue 4x4...Denis will be unbearable.

No, diamond silver, that's if Cahoot ever get off there a^*e and send me some cash. Its going to take two weeks minimum for the cash to come through which they approved immediately on-line, oh, and of course there's the small matter of at least 4 days of interest payable while the money is sent. Funny that, it leaves your account immediately but doesn't arrive on an electonic transfer for 4 days. If I was a more synical person I might be thinking they just sit on the money for 4 days while you pay interest then do a transfer on the 5th day. No wonder there rates are good. :thumbsdow
