    Octavia VRS rear brakes

    Just fitted these to mein auto in order to get rid of the solid discs at the rear. The calipers and the vented discs make a substantial difference to braking and I recommend them heartily. If you get the opportunity from ebay or a breakers do this mod - very well worth it even if you have...
  2. Ibiza Cupra/Fabia vRS gear ratios??

    Hi guys, ever since buying my Cupra, I've been wondering why the wife's Fabia feels MUCH more responsive low down. The slightly larger turbo and front mount can't make THAT much difference, surely. In the Fabia, 1400 rpm is the equivalent to 1800rpm in the Ibiza. Even though I am running...
  3. Fabia vRS ARB

    I'm getting a Fabia vRS front ARB (21mm) fitted in the next week or so. Is there anything I should think about changing at the same time as getting the ARB fitted? (other than the bushes that came with the ARB) The car has done just over 30k. Thanks

  7. New Skoda Octavia VRS vs Ibiza FR

    Had a race (private land of course) with a work mates new 2.0T Octy VRS vs my 1.8T remapped, not much in it. Up to about 80 nowt in it then I pulled away a little, would probably lose him on topend but tbh was a little disappointed with the beezer with it being lighter etc. and having more power...

  9. Panel Filter - VRs and FR

    Would a panel filter from a fabia VRs fit an ibiza FR Diesel? I'm guessing yes, but would like to be sure
  10. Skoda Octavia VRS

    Had good play with one of these yesterday, on a track of course ;) Very satisfied with mine as each time he went for it i managed to accelerate right up to his bumper and had to back off the power. Nice to see proof that my remap etc has actually significantly improved the std power :)

    Wait for new Leon FR or Octavia VRS

    I am in a bit of a dilema, i had thought of changing to a MK1 Leon FR TDI but then decided that it wasnt enough of a power increase from my Ibiza FR so ive been on the lookout for something else. I had a visit to a Skoda garage to have a look at the New Octavia VRS and i have to say im...

    Fabia VRS Brakes - Rubbish?

    I took delivery of my VRS a couple of weeks ago, and immediately felt that the brakes were 'soft'. I queried this, and was told by the dealership to give the brakes time to bed in. I have now covered approx 2,000 miles and the brakes, IMO, are still stodgy and rubbish. I struggled to believe...

    Leon Cupra vs Octavia vRS

    Hi Im in some confusion now, ive been 100% in favour of getting a 02/03 Cupra since driving one a while back, but my money situation has changed a bit, so now im looking at £6,500 to £7,000, this looks like it will get me a high mileage Cupra (i want the MK2 version only) sort of 70/90,000mls...
