Whats your best Fabia mod excuse?

RallyRed · 29-01-2006, 23:42

I really need to Lower mine so that i can get the ariel off for putting it through car wash.

i need to open back door and stand on sill to reach

devonutopia · 29-01-2006, 23:44

Are you only 30mm away from reaching it?

If you're 60mm away, say you'll need a full coilover kit.

I think my worst excuse was fitting the pd130 setup, as the pd100 was just "not fast enough"

Aside from that my usual excuse is "Because I want to!

"

Sorry the ariel one just doesnt wash with me (spot the intended pun?

)

Because the ariel can be flattend with a twist of its girth

In all seriousness I've found the overtaking thing a real godsend.

Overtook an old gent in a rover 25 this morning doing 32 in a 40 limit. I got a flash of his headlights as I went by, but the fact I could do 30 to 60 in.... ahem quick, meant I could get past quick and safely, then go back to my normal driving in those conditions (i.e not 32 mph...)

Jimb0 · 30-01-2006, 01:05

[Off topic] Dont you just hate it when people drive slowerly, so you overtake them in a safe mannor and they then flash their lights at you. Really grinds my gears!

And those who break when they see you pull out, and you narrowly miss their offside rear. [/Off topic]

RobClubley · 30-01-2006, 01:46

I fitted a sub and amp and some strut braces, which are quite heavy, so needed a remap to get the performance back up to standard levels.

ChrisRs · 30-01-2006, 08:21

I needed a PD 160 Air Intake in case the car develops asthma.

Me too.

Brakes. Because I didn't want to die.

The Seat strut brace gives me something to grab as a support when I'm leaning over the engine.

SWMBO said if i was getting the re-map she wanted an engagement ring, so last year i got down one one knee and said those 4 words,
