Hello All! Foolish Newbie needs help...

Featured Replies

Hello to everyone, newbie here, uneducated and un-sullied. Let the initiation commence.

Just brought a Fabia VRS after having me arm twisted by a mate. Took one for a test drive and fell in love (apologies to the missus). As such, I now have a lovely red example with Cruise control and 6 disc changer. Very tidy....

However, my beast of a friend has already demanded at least an anti-roll bar to be fitted, to show willing. I think it's quick enough....

I KNOW! Strike me down, put an apple in my mouth, Paxo in me Durty and turn me on a spit for saying that, but I am an uneducated fool. However, feel free to follow me on my trail of discovery, education and abuse as the Hedgehog guides me through what I need to put where so I can drive as nippily (is that a word?) as the rest of you. Jabbasport, here I come.

SPonsors welcomed coz I'm skint.:thumbup:

All the best, hope to hear from you all soon

Hello from an - er - seasoned newbie. I still wouldn't really know whether or where to start since, aside from insurance implications, most mods will have a knock-on effect on other things as well, so doing things in the right order is a good thing.

I suspect a rear ARB might have been suggested re handling rather than extra speed, though someone who knows about cars will probably come along shortly :)

The initiation ceremony will come later - Mwahahaha ;)

Welcome

Welcome :)

Before I even begin modding me toy, I need to get all these groovy piccies that everyone seems to have! Hmm, can I display a piccy of my nuts as an avatar, or is that immediate ban?....:finger:

LOL You know that song "Here we go gathering nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May" ? Well, if I were you I'd keep yours under wraps as Spring is early this year ;)

There are tons of pics on here - give us a shout if you are looking for particular ones, though I guess you'll have to decide on your modding requirements/intentions first :rubchin: If you do decide to "mod", I hope you will post some of your photies :)

Regards

Mo

Edit: You might need help on posting your photos on here, but no problemo.

Andy, mate, you need a pic that will fill that little avatar box.

Have you been on the homebrew again? New to the forum and already you've wheeled out the smut...

An ARB won't make your car go faster; if anything the extra mass and air drag will slow it down! OTOH the handling improvement could lead to you having to brake less for corners, so you could get point to point faster.

jabba ARB is the single best mod on my car. cracking value for money. it makes it much more fun to drive. Have to say, i don't think drag would be a major issue on the fabia cosidering its shaped like a brick.
