Re: Octavia Vrs Mods

Sounds alright, however it depends on your budget. At the end of it all youll still be fighting with FWD for traction, hence why I didnt go mad with mine.

Re: Octavia Vrs Mods

That lot will set you back a few quid Unless you have access to Hugh Heffners bank account it might be an idea to trim that list into more managable chunks and progressively modify the car. Not only will it be less stressful on the wallet it will also give you an oppotunity to iron out any problems along the way

Re: Octavia Vrs Mods

Not a bad list but i dont know of anyone thats using the 180C thermostat so id bin those off the list.

Also the Neuspeed short shift kits only does the throw (i think) and not the gate so again i wouldnt personally bother.
Id look at something like a Diesel Geek kit from the states

Is there any need for it?

I have most of them on your list and yes it's going to be expensive............but worth it

Forget the fan switch as well. I'm using a buddyclub fan switch, and it's only real use is with a Race radiator. It will end up doing a wee bit more damage overall I'd imagine.

Re: Octavia Vrs Mods

I too have gone down the track of most of those similar mods. I find traction a bit of a problem, especially in this weather. I am still after some better lowering springs as my eibachs don't lower the car enough for me.

Anyone know of a decent set of springs to lower approx 35mm, thinking that weitec may do some...
