Hiya Cazmo,
I'm from the Caerleon area in Newport and work in Cardiff so am always around the area. I'm about to get mine remapped in the next few months so will let you know what I end up doing!

cazmo · 05-01-2007, 19:26

heya Gez
ur fabia sounds cool! how long have u had it for?
i really want to get my octy vrs done but the big question is.......what do i go for?????
i dont really have much of a clue when it comes to cars but im rapidly learning!

so where do u work in cardiff? near the city centre? i work in town and my octy doesnt really like city driving much!

themightygez · 06-01-2007, 00:24

I work just off rover way (by the magic roundabout). Hoping to be along tomor so I'll keep an eye out for any other vRS's as we don;t want any of the audi/Seat people stelaing our thunder now do we?! I've had mine from new '05 plate so I feel quite gutsy to be pulling it apart!! I'm still getting 44/45mpg in rush hour (pre-remap) so am still quite happy!

Might see you tomor!

cazmo · 06-01-2007, 12:29

lol do they often try and steel the skoda thunder then?

wont be able to make it today

dont see many of those fabia vrs'saround would be interesting to see how they compare to the octy in lots of ways, when i was looking 4 a new car i test drove a few audi's and cupra r's and the octy 4 me won hands down!

im glad u chose a fabia over a ford!

fatty5000 · 07-01-2007, 13:40

my octy doesnt like city driving it gets a bit greedy round town

as for not seeing many fabia's that's all i ever see usually with old grippers driving them

cazmo · 07-01-2007, 20:01

lol just dont see many fabia vrs's
especially not with old grippers in them!
wat do you run your octy on? I try to use super most of the time, do you have much trouble with yours doing that whole spluttery thing when you first turn it on? does that happen with fabia's also?

fatty5000 · 07-01-2007, 20:31

i use super all the time as for the splutter i don't suffer with it but mine does the secondry air pump thing which is a fan spinning which combined with loadsa fuel that get's the engine up to temperature quicker
The car does have a tendancy to run like a a pig while this is happening but if you let it ldle till the rev's drop it should be fine to drive then
as for fabia vrs's their diesel engines and they seem to be suffering from a different stutter altogether

with regard's to your other post hi i'm new yes your are the only girl/woman in the wales area as far as in know

themightygez · 07-01-2007, 21:56

I've heard about this stutter thing with the Fabia but mine's all good to date

Will probably see you guys at the next meet.

cazmo · 07-01-2007, 22:23

are the meets a monthly thing?

the splutter thing is very annoying and people who arent used to it look at my car as if its going to die a death when the first encounter it, but when the engine's warmed up, its so responsive

how did the meet go yest?

Yes, they are monthly and hoefully we will come up with something a bit more concrete very soon
