..... The first on the site back in 2003 and currently the highest mileage (possibly the oldest one-owner car too) :P

106.5k miles currently..

Current mods:

PD160 Intake and Green filter

Revo/JBS map

Real Octy vRS 312mm brakes

Uprated Bulbs all round

Uprated Powerflex/Cupra bushes and bumpstops

Previous Mods:

Jabba ARB

Forge "XL" FMIC

Eibach springs and Dampers

20mm rear spacers

MoMo strut brace

17" Kahn RSR's

Has travelled quite a bit, been round donnington, Silverstone, Bruntingthorpe, Anglesey, the 'Ring, german autobahns and CZ.

Few misc pics, in no particular age or order

Been around a bit that car

Seems like ages ago I fitted the 312mm brakes, pioneering modsback in them days, first Fabia vRS to wear them, and genuine Octy ones at that

Pioneering mods indeed young Lummox... got me out the **** a fair few times over the years

Also first with Powerflex and then Cupra bushes too

Oh and the first FMIC'ed furby

And might have had something to do about the design of a rear ARB too

Also was the most powerful non hybrid PD130 in the country for a while (probably still aint far off it actually)

We were pioneers in them days, mine was close to being the first to wear GT brembos up front, a close call with the silver one Star Perfomance did (another pioneer). And the first Fabia to wear a TD Hybrid and Milltek designed the fabia exhaust and downpipe on my car.

You did go through a phase at one time of whoring your car out to whomever was willing to do a bit of 'development'

Are you trying to say im a Whore? :eek:

Its only because the car was unknown at the time, i mean back then, who tuned TDI's? it was all about the 1.8t and the Golf platform before the Fabia vRS!!.

I think we can both go down as being influential in that field

Im sure if I hadnt had mine your car would have got the goodies..lol

Remember my first ever Brisky meet at Bruntingthorpe, and you'd only just got your (oversized) FMIC fitted...

...and then at a C&F meet not long after you got the rear ARB, being parked with a rear wheel in the air!!!

Oh, and I remember you being quicker than mine, just :(

Oh the memories!!!

Love those Kahn alloys! AM so tempted to get hold of some RSR's like your or RSS but they cost so much money :( Easier to clean than the Octy Spiders though!

I think I nabbed the Kahns off an AmD customer for Col when we sold him some new wheels.

Fancy sticking another car on bricks for me?

They look nice, but weigh a metric f**kload and actually slow the car down

Possibly :P

So, 5 years :eek:

Does that mean you've now finally given it it's 5th wash ? :P

I know where there is a set of 18" wheels

Look like these..

Im sure they wont slow you down.

Shouldn't you have started this thread in 2003?? lol

Am not a fan of those alloys sorry Would suit a bigger car I think rather than a Furby

Not fussed about the weight, at least they're individual and easy to clean. Look amasing too

Sorry to go off topic slightly, but when did the forum start?

Nice looking car neo mate, don't think I will see the mileage of 105k.

Sooner than 2008 though...when you're wanting to change it anyway lol

I like the wheels - and I bet they are soooo much easier to clean

They were very easy to clean yes.... looked the bizz with eibach suspension too

I would like to throttle you, now I know for certain it was YOU who caused the rapid loss of cash into mods for my Fabia.

Good work Colin, and a testament of how gentle you are to make it last so long.

And it is a quick'un for just a map.
