Ad Lav's Fabia vRS! Yes, I know its not a SEAT...

Must admit i've only noticed it once, its like you've put the car in 5th gear instead of 3rd from 2nd!

LM's in the for sale section were 18'' and are sold...

ah bummer must admit i did not read the advert just spotted them.

i have got used the stutter now so drive around it... on mine its only if your cruising around 1900rpm and then accelerate (say to overtake on a motorway) there is the stutter then the car goes. SEAT say they can not cure it so i just live with it.

I'll look foward to seeing the progress of this mate. They do look smart with a few modifications.

Don't your parents have one too?

 

[Ad Lav]

They did, they have a new Octavia vRS estate

Wheels and coilovers sorted!

Pick up vRS wheels in the next week or two and just got to decide who to buy my coilovers from!

Must get some proper pictures up soon...

 

[Damoegan]

What coliovers you going for then?

 

[Ad Lav]

AP Coilovers - rated better than FK and VMaxx, equal to Weitecs for less money... got to ring your mate at DPM.

Hopefully by the summer the car will be lowered, on a set of shiny wheels, and detailled!

What wheels are they? Phaeton? Bentley?

Pass- 18's of some description!

I couldn't roll on 18's, far too big for the car!

 

[cap r 225]

just noticed the brembo's on that to! 18's are a bit overkill though and i bet it handles like sh1t. This should be renamed the cool ass fabia thread! never seen so many!

lol

There's a Skoda forum for that - not my ride thread

 

[Ad Lav]

Little update, vRS due a full detail this weekend if TnS make it back from Silverstone GP in time...

Been to Skoda and had the weight of the steering adjusted, much more feel when driving although it makes parking a bit heavy, great mod really

Coilovers and wheels due next few weeks, going for KW's instead now

 

[Aimez]

nice look forward to pics of detail!!

 

[Ad Lav]

Thought this was a funny pic of the vRS next to a Hummer down at my mates flat

Only pics of the detail so far are from my phone camera when I picked it up - the guys that detailed it have a whole lot of pictures that I will post up once they are sent to me!

Nice self portrate

Getting a few bits painted body colour next week, door handles, chrome grill and number plate surround

 

[st10587]

sounds good! im suprised that door handles are not colour coded all ready

 

[Ad Lav]

Decided to paint the chrome grill, number plate surround, door handles and insides of the headlights this weekend, started last night and the compressor blew up!

Off to the bodyshop and a useless car until sunday morning! lol
