This is my 04 fabia vrs:

1.9 turbo diesel
131.7bhp @ wheels (recorded at peco)
157.4bhp @ flywheel


But since then I have added:

:a: Metal gause induction kit
:a: PD tuning box

so should be more!

Click here to see a video of my new ind\'kit&0-60!

The rear lights are tinted black but i got no pics yet.

Still to come:

NOS
ECU re-map
Half Roll cage
White Alloys
strut brace

Also Inforad speed cam detector


Fabia+skoda badge removed, VRS badge replaced in the centre of the boot

standard lights:




finished.(need to be darker but ran out of spray)

look quality them back light i like the way u even went to the trouble of masking of the reverse. hope t5hat wasnt u speeding lol

ME speeding?!?! im a good boy! the centre of the rear lights look like they havent been sprayed but thats cos ther is reflectors behind it and they shown up cos i was using the flash. I kept the reverse bits clear just to be practical.

I also want to upgrade my brakes to the audi TT ones! they fit straight on no fuss!

mine Standard:



IM goin to need new pads soon so suggestions would be nice.

Whelan i love ur VRS, its feckin quick!!! it shocked me wen u 1st got it cos i wasnt expectin it to be that quick!!!!

Great car, very very quick for a diesel Good driver too

You know what i think you fookin' mad head, love the car mate, and love the subtle mods you have done to it.

Can't wait to see the plans that you have instore come to life... just make sure you don't write it off before you finish them! lol

thanks chaps!

Got a problem now:


AAAARRGH! engine warning light came on today!



i think its cos of this hose i didnt connect back to the indi kitt!:



Im on some fabia forums now gettin answers.

Im the only skoda in the village!
looks good! sounds like a tractor!

been gettin worried about this light so i got stuck into my engine bay with a drill!

took the cone off:


you can see how breathble it is:


Drilled a hole for the strange black pipe:


Fitted it all back together(with the sensor in view)


took it for a test drive and everytime i changed gear it sounded like i had a petrol car with a dump valve?!?. im beggining to think that there is somethin really wrong somewere else.

O dear........

Start a topic here.. Click Me

Resolve the problem and post the answer back over here

Hope you can get it sorted.

What a day. I went to Demon Tweeks and added a few mods to my car.



First up Brakes

Out with the old:


In with the new: slashed and dimpled discs with green stuff pads!



Then it was time to remap the old ECU


and finnish of with some new 17" alloys







$$$$spent but worth every penny! cant wait to get it on a rolling road to see my new BHP!

Schweeet!! Mate get it dropped too and it'll look spot on! How much more power d'ya think you've got out of the remap?

hasnt that superchip contradicted what the PD tuning box done,cos theyre the same thing right?

i like the std smoked lights dude, i like the choice of rims and brake s etc, very niccccccccccccccccccccccce, just get that fuccker lowered asap :>

hmmm just a quiet preview of what she cud luk like matey

Looking Sweet

Rolling Road Day ?

Check this out only £20 Click Me

Very nice Whelan, looks REALLY nice, will be even better when lowered. nice one!!!!

I agree it does need to be lowered. I can get a 40mm drop for 250squids, 40mm is the max as that hefty steel engine sits very low and weighs a tonne! should be running about 175bhp now with masses of torque! (im still gettin use to it). as for the old chip i had i took that out ages ago only using it when i wanted to thrash it about but now all my power is ready on tap. low profile tyres have given better handling but thers more stuff to do:

1. Lowered
2. Tinted
3. strut brace
4. back box
5. de-cat

The pd tuning box was just a plug in an play box that couldnt give as much extra bhp as a remapped ECU. I have all the old data from the ECU stored on a little chip incase i ever want to return it back to standard.

here's more eye candy!

Quick video for u all!

Video Click Me

whhels luk spot on just get savin 250ripsd is notin for the improvemtn it wil make, just dnt wreck these tires lad!

quality, nice one matey.

Me and my m8 Tony went out the other night and did a video of our cars. check it out.

Lol, class vid mate, bet the peeps at work love you.

smart car m8, there defo a gud lukin car

thought ide add the latest pics

looking nice mate, nice location, whats next? lowering?

lowering and tinting

maybe chrome handles.

looks sweet mate get it lowered first will luk swish. you will have a really harsh ride though.

very nice mate, i agree with the tints and lowering, but i dont think the chrome handles will look good, u need 2 keep with the dark image

nice location aswell

few more little things done.

paper machea bumber!


taped the lights for spraying


very sutle mod






Also done a Pikey mod, allowing more air to the intercooler that is
hidden away by the wheel arch
still needs more cutting and filing then an exit to be made for the hot air
into the wheel arch.

lookin gd mate, i like the lights

love this car,those front lights,aint sure bout those,i like the shiney look of lights,and only like smoking when the lights are wiggly glass,like a scort and old style lights.

Lovely car,it run ok now?

01/05/06 update

Car is in the bodyshop. new rear axel, new suspension all round. new front end.
new rear brakes and discs an much much more..
4.5K of parts the garage quoted. still needs to go on a
jig to sort out a bend @ the front.





new rear sus & axel


kink in the front

4500!!!! and thats just the parts! is this going through the insurance? anything your going to change from what is was before the crash? different colour etc?

I was just wondering that too?

Didnt the Insurance Comapny,
write it off?

How come your prepared to pay £4,500
on parts alone?

Like the tweak with the lights.

I always wanted a paper machea bumber too

at fist the garage said that the car was a right off so the insurance company sent a specialist to go an confirm what they said. He said that the car can be fixed at a high price but with the cars value being high too they thought it worth while to fix it.

paper machea bumbers are a cost effective alternitive to carbon fibre. I am the only person qualified to carry it out in the UK!

As for changing the cars colour, i dont think i have that option, its all gettin fixed by Liverpool Victoria @ vauxhall?!? of all places

just noticed in this picture im parked next to the CID!

If the whole car gets resprayed at the end of it all then the garage can do it in a different colour providing it costs no more than it would to do it standard,altho black is a sweet colour so i wouldnt change it if it were mine

How much longer til its back on the road mate?

well...
-=last week=-

I was told i will get in on monday15th this month, rang them monday an they said they need to do the brakes and they are having problems getting there computer to open some valves or something so was told it will be wednesday.

-=wednesday=-09:30
they said they cant do the brakes so have sent it to skoda.I ring skoda 3hours later and they say the car has only just come in and is now on the ramps and should be about 1hour to fix. 15:00 ring the garage only to over hear some tit in the background say 'its not a 5min job'(no its an hour job and its been in for 2 1/2). i told him to ring skoda and find out whats goin on and call me back. 17:30 get a call to say the call is 100% fixed and just needs cleaning. i told them dont bother cleaning it i just want my car back. He says 'NO we have special cleaning stuff for your car' but i want my car back if its fixed! they told me no they want to clean it and i can pick it up 2morra at 12:00

-= Today 19th =- 12:45 <---yer i was late

I go to lookers and walk around the back to collect my car. only to find this....




WTF!!!?!?! I was told it was 100% fixed! Special cleaning stuff my arse! well not happy with anything. they said they cleaned it all inside so i looked in .........



nice dashbord hey..
all they done was spray everything with some grease and made it slippy and cover all the glass and dials in it.



There is big gaps in the bodywork too that are not even to the otherside.

parts are missing from the engine bay and are locked away in some blokes locker and he has gone on holiday and wont be back till tuesday23rd

I told the insurance company everything and there is nothing they can do. but they did tell me that Lookers have now topped up a bill of 5.3k for fixing the car. and have asked for more today to fix other things. Liverpool Victoria said they have nearly reached the cut off point were they WILL write off the car! .

Im never taking a car to lookers again.

-=**** ups=-
car fixed date changed about 5tims

forgot to paint things they replaced

no RS badge

New Scratch's and dints

Dash not fixed in and 20+ screws in ashtray

Replaced 1x alloy wheel that had 10000000% nothing wrong with it

Wonky bonnet

Fueling problem

took my RS embroided floor mats out and put Grey corsa ones in (why the funk replace the floor mats?)


Im gonna stop now cos im p!ssed off. but you get the picture.

Hope it gets sorted mate and if i were u i wouldnt settle until it was in AT THE VERY LEAST pre accident condition, Get your mats back,get your badge on,and get straight panels,and a fitted dash

What can i say that how vauxhall make their cars lol, stay well away from them hope your reading this lawton lol

yes , iam reading this, but if you had told me that you was taking it to that lookers i would of told you no to bother, all i have ever heard is bad thing s about the garage, my mum and dad bought a brand new corsa from there last year and the clutch was really stiff and not right, my mum took it back there twice and they kept in for a day each time and they said nothing was wrong, i took it in on the third time and kicked off about it and they didnt want to no,
its just the garage, there crap and havent got a clue what they are doing

wot happend. when i crashed my car an it went into lookers they wudnt tell me a thing when i phoned up to talk to them. then they told my is was a right of then they told me that the car was still at there premises an when i went up to get my tax out of it an a few other bits they had sent it to be scraped an i wasnt happy

vauxhall tuh tuh tuh

Which lookers is it at, is it on woodchurch road in birkenhead,or the one in newbo/wallesey

Rossmore E-port

Lol, I went there once... once

Really am gutted for you mate, gotta be careful about who you trust especially when it comes down to leaving your pride and joy with them.

I could of told what garages like when insurance companies are involved, there are just pains in the ar*e. the number of phone calls i took about cars not being ready and people being in the same situation as you is beyond beleaf(sp).

I would of told them i was taking it to a garage of my choice and thats all there is to it. you are allowed to do this as its just cheaper for an insurance company to use a garage on its panel as they get discount on parts and labour.
