It should be an everyday sight , Skoda should have built a petrol vRS with the 1.8T 150PS engine in it.

I guess the Mk1 Octavia vRS was their answer for that. I think whilst putting one in the Furby would have made a great selling point, I guess Skoda thought a Warm Diesel Hatchback would have much more selling appeal then a petrol alternative. Being as the 1.8T was already common place in the Audi A3 and Golf.

I like it........the music that is!

djswivel · 01-03-2008, 17:25

Lot of time, effort and money gone into that. But I don't like it.

VRS 203 · 01-03-2008, 17:53

Seen this before, i saw a blog with all the stuff he's done to it.

Alot of work, respect for that.
Like the colour.
Smoothness is cool, plate recess will be a must on my motor in the next year. Gives it a much better look in my oppintion.
Wheels are gash though!

vRSLen · 01-03-2008, 22:40

I thought it was cool

Looks good and like the barchetta door handles - not so sure on the smurfs

strange, i kinda like it but i would never do that kind of styling to my own one.

cool video tho, nice to see the work that went into it, maybe thats why i like it.

markyvrs · 02-03-2008, 01:31

You have to say well done to that. Whoever this guy is clearly has more money than sense. Personally i would have used the money to buy a better car.

And he went to the effort of an expensive engine transplant to then weigh it down with a big stereo and other nonsense.

cheezemonkhai · 02-03-2008, 03:57

I have to say i prefer the engine note on the lupo, but it goes some

Orta · 02-03-2008, 13:33

i was reading an old issue of Auto Express when they had their Fabia vRS on the fleet. And they actually said:
"Expect a petrol version sometime next year"

SO! Skoda? Where the hell is our 1.8 20v Turbo version hmmmmm?

dreamer123 · 04-03-2008, 17:49

does any one have any advice on the transplant ? i have a fabia vrs ltd edition and just got a 1.4 fabia to play with got chance of a golf 1.8 gti turbo compleate. how hard will it be with the compleate doner car to do a transplant ????

thanks

You'll need to swap over all the wiring, dash, etc to make it easier. I'm waiting for some extra money as I want to do a 1.8T with the 4wd haldex system.
