Don't worry that will be a conversation I'll be having with the dealer in the morning.

Also not impressed with the £50 floor mats, not branded as vrs or anything, just blank - is this right? For the money I would have expected branding and a reinforced heel area.

good choice for cumbria mate

The paint looks to be holding up really well - even on the tailpipes!!

 

Yes, quite surprised myself about that!

But hey, I'm not complaining haha !

Only problem I have is brake-dust, god I hate it!

Mine came with mats that have 'Fabia' written on them but no heelpad. Kind of wish I had spent the option money on aftermarket mats. Those ebay ones do look better i think.

Hmmm I shall have to question the ones I have then as the accessories brochure displays ones like you have and not blank ones.

These are spot on! (ignore the colour difference on the picture)

Not specificly Fabia vRS-parts, but stuff that is going into a Fabia vRS atleast :P!

Where does the part in the top photo slot in? :think:

In the... babyseat :P?

 

is that a loba turbo?!

is that a loba turbo?!

That my friend is a Schwitzer SRX350 .

details?! I thought loba were the only uprated turbo's available, do please give some infor, If I keep my car, around the 100k mark I intend to give it some new parts (turbo, clutch packs ect) at which point an upgrade will be due

Details : T25 flange on the way in of the exhaust-house.
Specialflange on the way out on the exhaust-house.

Standard exhaustmanifold cut in 2, removed the exhaust-housing and welded an T25-flange in cast-iron onto it.
It's not bolt-on, it will not be easy and it will certainly not look OEM.
But, it instead got a chance of performing better than Loba270 / other hybrids.
And it looks awesome after the paint-mod aswell .

I will install this along with some other mods (hopefully, depends on if I get a job again) and go to Greece afterwards .

/\ /\ /\ what he said..........details please.

Edit: beat me to it, thanks

For some reason i cant find all my trackday Vids/photos of my Fabia, but ive cobbled the rest into a single 15 minute Vid.  Sadly this is only of Mallory Park ( She did that 4 times inthe couple years I owned her; 3 wet, 1 dry), Rockingham (she did this 3 times, all dry; pics only) and Silverstone with the APR/VWRacing test day.  

 

Ive got a proper trackday mount now, so rather than have people video on their IPhone ill actually video properly now lol

 

 

First trackday in the new ST at Knockhill on the 13th.  Stock car except the brake fluid is Motul RBF600.

Is the trip to Greece to get the supporting software?

Is the trip to Greece to get the supporting software?

Yes, to get a proper map and programming of DSG.

Mind you tho, that's a trip on almost 3000 km.

Nothing that is done without some planning-ahead!

Polished and double waxed for winter

Lovely pics, but I'm just back from working in Istanbul and I don't know how anybody enjoys there car in the city, your traffic is insane, as bad as anywhere I have ever been.

From our hotel near Attaturk Airport going to eat in a restaurant by the Bosphorous took us three hours to get there

You are totally right... I am looking my way out but till now no luck... the good thing is I live in Anotolian side, which is slightly better than the European side....
