Hello all

As some of you have seen, me and my girlfriend have been looking for a MK1 VRS Octavia for some time now. After driving many cars we found one that fitted the bill perfectly.

I have to be honest and confess that i cheated a little and purchased a pre modified one (i know, i know, i cheated ) but after seeing the car and meeting Simon i saw how well the car has been maintained and looked after that i just had to have it. We saw it on Saturday and collected last night. What a great car it is. All the mods are the ones we had planned to do already to it so am really pleased with the results.

Mods are:

18"x8 - BBS RC Alloy Wheels

H&R Coilovers

Eibach Rear Anti Roll Bar

Golf R32 Front Anti Roll Bar

Custom Code - Stage 2 Software

JBS Autodesigns CAI pipe

Green Cotton Filter - Located behind the front bumper

Spec clutch and single mass flywheel - It rattles (which is cool, sounds race like)

Forge Eliminator diaphragm dump valve

Forge silicon hoses (black)

Blue Flame Sports Cat/Downpipe and Milltek System (To be changed as i work for Piper )

Millotek front bumper grilles (Not sure if we like them yet might swap back to STD) and black grille and smoked rear lights

Pictures are below.

Yes, was Simons F1 Brighton demo car after a quick test drive (5 up) was impressed at how well it went and handled so just had to have it.

Hope you all like it, even though your probably familiar with it. And i look forward to becoming part of the BRISKODA family.

Kind Regards

One very nice looking car

Make sure you keep it that way

Welcome to the club, nice set of mods already fitted too

Thanks for the comments. I plan to leave it looking as it does. Only things i may change are the Bumper grills, and of course the Exhaust

Regards

Garry

nice one!

how many horses is it chucking out after that lot then???

Very nice

Very Nice

Simon says it should be around the 230-240 mark but it has not been on the rollers. Its on the rollers in the next week here and going up Santa Pod on saturday so will have so figures for you all then.

Again, thanks for all the comments

Regards

Garry

will the exhaust be going up for sale then as i have been looking for a replacement for my octy.

Smilin Driver - Yes i guess it will be. It wont be for some time as our development schedule is packed for most of this year already, so i cant get mine on the ramps to develop one :(

Will pop it in the for sale section when its done for ya all to fight over, lol.

Kind Regards

Garry

Lovin the grill comments. We shall decide if we like them, they may grow on us yet, but initally we do prefer the STD ones. Shall give it time we think

Again thanks for all the positive comments, were so happy with it

We am looking at going to the Maidstone meet but are there any other shows/trackdays etc we should be looking to attend?

Regards

Garry

I have to say that I think your motor looks pretty good as it is. If it were me I'd keep it as is... but it is yours!

The wheels looked a lot better than I expected when I read your notes. Very nice.
