One might expect you too start with pics of yours!!!

monkey023 · 12-02-2008, 20:15

Hey I know this is slightly of the topic but what the hell! Jiggad23 how do you find your new fabia tdi after the remap? Have you got any rough performance figures or what would it compare to?

Thanks,
Mark

NB: Will put some fabia sport pics when it arrives!!

JonA · 13-02-2008, 08:25

I'll try to put up a picture or two of my car as soon as possible..

nutztoys · 13-02-2008, 15:27

Here is mine..........

A 1.2 12V Sport with 70 insane bhp.......

Received it in sepember 2007 and have since lowered it 40mm on H&R springs. Fitted rear diffuser and front spoiler all from SKODA TUNING SHOP for Octavia, Octavia II, Fabia, Roomster, Superb, Felicia : Skoda Tuning = superskoda.com
Have got a LCR splitter and will get it on next week (hopefully...........)

The alloys are being polished and waxed at the moment.
Are looking at 18" and some other mods but will keep you updated.

Yeah had the remap yesterday its a lot more responsive, deffinately worth doing better mpg and not so nervous in the fast lane. Still feels slow compared to my tuned vrs but but for a yellow ugly bus its not bad!!!

Arpido · 17-02-2008, 23:21

Hi nutztoys!

I have 2 simple questions:
1. I'd like to use eibach springs to lowering my car. It will be useful in corners? What is your experience?
2. What car the vRS logo on the 5th door is from? Fabia RS facelift?

irfant · 18-02-2008, 08:51

1.2 looks cool!

Octygone · 18-02-2008, 09:19

Not mine but MissPiggy is at work so here is her car

Hi Arpido,

It really reduces the up and down motion when accelerating and also stiffens the car in the corners but it could do better without the original dampers. I´m planning to fit coil-overs to maximize the ride alternativ replace the dampers with Koni/eibach dampers.

The logo is from the Octavia2 RS.

In addition to the picture that dad posted up earlier:
I have a Fabia 2 1.2 12V. In Tangerine Orange. His name is Dewey and he is now about 4 or 5 months old. Average MPG atm is rubbish because i am mostly driving about a mile to boyfriends house and back each night. only modifications are two seat belt protectors, a magic tree air freshner and a fire extinguisher!!! (you can never be too safe!!) SO here are some pictures of my baby.

Parked in front of house during first week of getting him:

Let him loose in the forest:

Then he found dads car:

Arty Shot:

Parked up in a scenic spot:

My Car on rolling road day-got 80.7bhp from the boy!

Tom_vRS · 18-02-2008, 19:17

That silver 1.2 looks great!

Take the vRS badge off though

Think that front spoiler and rear diffuser are the official ones, same as on the UK spec Fabia Sport. Looks good, pity lowered sports suspension isn't available as an option on the Fabia like it is on the Octavia.

They are the official ones. I bought them at Superskoda at 1/3 of the list price in Denmark.

Arpido · 18-02-2008, 22:54

Thanx to nutztoys!

In Hungary (maybe in other countries) the sport version of the fabia includes sport seats, sunset shadows and climatronic, without any optical accessories. That's why I bougth an elegance (Fabia 3) model. We have to buy any body parts (like front spoiler) approx. from 200 eur.

youngsyd · 18-02-2008, 22:55

We have a White Sport in our showroom at work, it really has changed my perseption on the new fabia, I WANT ONE!!

JonA · 20-02-2008, 00:44

Here is my contribution to the Fabia II gallery

My car is a 2008 "sport" 1,9 TDI.

Mods so far are:

-Ditched the Stream radio/cd unit, and installed a Pioneer AVIC D3 sat nav/radio/bluetooth phone/Ipod system. It works great, and has much better radio reception than the stock radio.

The bad thing about it is I can't get it to work with the radio stalk on the streering coloumn..

-30mm Eibach springs

-Diffuser and exhaust tailpipe from the "skoda styling kit"

-LED's in the "parkinglights" in stead of the W5W bulbs who look to "yellow".

-xenonmatch bulbs in the fog lamps from Hoen high performance halogen

-titanium 70W bulbs in the headlamps also from Hoen high performance halogen. Not very happy with these, will try out the Nightbreakers from Osram before I become a criminal and install a real xenon-kit..

-modded sunroof drain from the left front side of the sunroof, so my feet are no longer wet

Here are some pictures of my ride:

Enjoy!

It's amazing how much difference dropping the car by 30mm makes. Promising for the RS

monkey023 · 20-02-2008, 16:55

Loving the white fabia JonA. But how comes you have not got the front spoiler for the sport. All UK fabia sports have this feature!!?

Thanks for the nice comments on my car !

None of the "SPORT" fabias sold in Norway has any of the exterior sport parts when they arrive from the factory. I have no idea why.

I had to buy the diffuser and the exhaust and install them myself.

nutztoys · 21-02-2008, 17:48

Gave it a wash and fitted the alloys today. Hopefully there will be no snow............

Hi!
