So it looks like I'm commiting myself to keeping my fabia for the next 18 months at least. I've got itchy feet but having just this week completed the finance I think it might be a decent idea if I get off the car buying merry-go-round for a while and stash some cash for the next purchase.

So to keep me interested in the car can any North East based Brisky members recommend somewhere to get a stainless steel exhaust fitted. I'd be interested to hear what you've got and were you got it from, and a price if you don't mind.

I keep checking the for sale section to see if somebody is going to put up a full miltek system, but I haven't seen one for many months now.

cheers

The standard system is stainless,is it not?

Hello mate, i'm from the North East too and i'm in a similar problem, except i've only had the car for about 6 months now

Was just wondering where abouts in the North East you're from? As I don't see many vRS drivers around here, and it'd be nice to have one to flash to every now and then

I'm in Newcastle - Hebburn, Tyne and Wear to be exact

I drive a 56 plate Black Magic vRS

Are they? I'd be (pleasantly) suprised, anyway I guess I should of added the word 'performance' before the stainless steel bit.

I live on the coast (Hartlepool) and there are a good couple of VRS's there, work in Durham but don't see too many about, all 4x4's.

there are quite a few kicking around....... me and my wife both have one and can normally be seen driving up the AI in the morning, one red and one black When we come back in the evening I have seen two other black VRS's and another red one round whickham!! becoming too common

It isn't the A194 is it? As i see a red and sometimes black vRS driving down that towards whitemare pool roundabout on weekday mornings? I drive the opposite way towards washington as that's where i work :-)

Oh and sorry for resurrecting an old thread - been busy as of late :-)

nah... normally between the metrocentre and Fawden turnoff seen silver vrs going past whickham golf club today...... they appear to be growing in numbers round here!!!

You may see me blasting about... I live in Spennymoor and work in Cobalt Park Newcastle

55 Plate Silver Fabia VRS

as for exhausts I'm not sure, you could try EDMAR in Spennymoor they may be able to help you out, or at least try to flog you a set of Toyos :P

Rich

Ah! Very cool, one of my mates is transeferring to Cobalt Park in the next couple of months He's not too happy about it though as the room he's moving to has glass walls so everyone will be able to see when he's goofing around

I'm currently working at Durham House, dunno if you know where that is? It's the massive black building next to the Galleries in Washington.

I've saw a Silver vRS around here but only once, and it was at the Cineworld/Asda at Boldon, dunno if you ever go there?

Really glad to see i'm not the only vRS driver around here, was starting to feel lonely :P

Flashed some women driver and stuck my thumb up the other day and she just ignored me and kept on driving lol

Oh well, hope to see you's pottering about every now and then! If I do i'll make sure to give a thumbs up

I do pop into Cineworld/Asda at Boldon often on the way home from work at around 7pm.

However I was there a couple of weeks back around 2pm to see Die Hard

There was another black vrs in our car park the other day, I didnt recognise it.

Cool, i'll have to get me one of those Briskoda sticker thingies for whenever a fellow Briskodian is around!

I sometimes work till 7 and go over to my girlfriends who lives in the Estate right next to the Boldon complex, so that's most likely when i've seen you

Oh well, in the future keep a look out for the ugly mug to my left frantically giving thumbs up to random vRS drivers lol :P

I live in sunderland and have a black magic 04 reg fabia vrs,there seems to be another couple of black 05 reg ones bombing about round here! Previous owner of mine lives on whickham bank and has a new black vrs,might be him that you have seen round by metrocentre...

you definately need Briskoda stickers

This is all very nice but what about exhausts!!

Toonartist, where did you get "Milltek Cat Back" fitted??

Toonartist, where did you get "Milltek Cat Back" fitted??

I fitted it myself....... not a hard job to do

If you are going for the cat-back only it is really easy.... 2 bolts to undo and a grinder to cut the pipe just behind the silencer (won't come off in one bit). Once the old one is off you just transfer the rubbers to the new pipe put it togther with a loose fit until it is hanging correctly then tighten it all up...... no more than an hour or 2. Use WD40 on the rubbers to make it easier to take them off and afterwards use the grinder to tidy the edges of the cut on the old pipe and keep it as a spare

If you are changing the downpipe then it takes a little longer as you need to remove the plastic cover protecting the sump etc 3 nuts connecting the downpipe to the turbo..... a little lacking in space but no real trouble

If doing it yourself is not in the game plan then you could buy it online if there is a good deal and I would imagine most garages would fit it for a charge
