Remapping a Fabia vRS.... - BRISKODA

***Neo_VR*** · 08-08-2004, 12:16

..... Well, ive done it!!

Thanks to those fantastic people @ JBS in chesterfield

so before anyone jumps on me... YES it is Revo, YES i am very happy with it and YES i will happily reccomend Revo and JBS.

Right... what to say, well i spent 20-odd minutes on the phone to James on friday, regarding tuning the Fabia vRS and he was very friendly and knowledgeable.
I agreed to pop down on saturday to have a look/drive of thier mental 220bhp Fabia on 18" wheels and nitrous, also because i knew a few other briskodians would be there having work done

(see HERE)

Anyway.. had a nice drive down thru glossop. and encountered a few caravans

Got there just after 1 and spent about 5 hours there just chatting to everyone. unfortunately didnt get a go in the nitrous beast as james had to dash off to his helicopter pilot test (hope ya passed

) but stuck about generally soaking up the sun (ouch) and friendly atmosphere. when it got to 5pm and Huck and Darrens cars were finished (milltek looks ace on a vRS estate) i thought id got off lucky, but in a moment of weakness, Josh pushed me over the edge and out came the credit card

by 5.15 i was all set up and had Revo loaded into my car... went for a spin round the block and pulled up and switched off to let the program kick in.. and when i set off again, boy did it kick in!!!! the car struggled with traction in second gear... even with toyos on a bone dry hi-grip surface.. and it took off!! i pulled back into JBS's yard.. and i think they knew by the

that i was happy

I also got a green panel filter fitted too, which gives a little bit more of a growl under accelleration.

So. im very satisfied with the software, i dont know just how much power its got, but franky... i dont care.

so

to JBS, no doubt ill be back

Nice one Colin. Now go play.

Dunkx · 08-08-2004, 17:44

Hmm, was thinking that JBS might be the nearest option for me in terms of remaps, glad to hear someone who is happy with their service. Not sure if I should wait and get the suspension done before a remap though...

Do you mind saying how much the remap cost colin? Also, do JBS have a rolling road?

Huck · 08-08-2004, 17:50

JBS have a rolling road, and rich1068's car got some tasty figures on it yesterday.

the whole JBS and Briskoda thing is old news imho and definitely water under the bridge. genuine, friendly, knowledgeable and professional - great place.

if i was getting another skoda

, i'd definitely go there.

cheeky!

sorry col, OT, we'll behave from now on.

ON-topic only now please.

***Neo_VR*** · 08-08-2004, 19:04

It was standard Revo Pricing...
£499+vat for the program
and a bit more for the green filter

didnt get a chance to get before/after runs on the dyno as it was a impulse purchase.. but no doubt ill be back there soon

rich1068 · 08-08-2004, 19:07

How far have you been today? Still enjoying it? How about a review? Specifically Revo on the Fabia.

See you next Saturday

***Neo_VR*** · 08-08-2004, 19:14

I shall be doing a review... in a week or so, am still getting used to it... fuel economy has been shocking... but i suppose it is coz i took the scenic route home

I think Josh is a bad influence on you.

Next Drive Out might be interesting.

As well as the perfomance improvement, the remap makes a huge difference to the smoothness and willingness to rev past 4k

Definately!! a graph doesnt do it justice

just need to re-learn how to drive it.. and stop booting it in 2nd, otherwise new tyres will be needed by the end of month

Hi guys,
Can you tell me how much the green panel filter is and where the best place is to get one. My Fab VRS is coming up to it's 10k service and I wanted to take the chance to replace the filter with something a bit better.
BTW - If any of you have also done the intake modification I suggested, be aware that you need to check the filter more often as with more air in, you also get more dirt/flies etc in....
