[bowen]

Is Korbans light mod difficult to install? how much is it?

Hate reading amazing build threads, costs me money!

[redcupraboy]

[AdsVRS07]

[Phil.B]

Never seen this before and love it! Such a looked after vrs, the paintwork makes it stand out so much.

Makes my black one feel inadequate!

Finally got to see this beautiful car tonight..

.. Probably the sexiest Fabia I have ever seen!

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing it at the next meet

Finally have a few interesting things to update this with!

Got hold of a full set of Superpro bushes thanks to recent group buy by W8. The bushes have completely transformed the car. It feels much more planted on the road and in corners, and handling overall feels better.

Then afterwards I had the tracking done incase the bushes had thrown anything out.

I then paid a visit to Clive at Cntuning, a top guy and definitely new his stuff!

I had Shark stage 1 put on and the car is phenomenal. It pulls really well across the whole range and the car feels much more eager to accelerate.

Then went along to the recent JKM rolling road day, was a good day out and nice to see some other fabias.

Really pleased with the results, better than I was expecting especially as the JKM rollers are known as heartbreakers.

Pleased with the peak figures as well as the smooth curves.

No other mods planned for a while, planning on upgrading the clutch and flywheel and fitting an FMIC come summer time. So enjoying driving it for now!

Thats very very good figures dude, i would be very impressed!!

Clean as fook. Not usually a fan of dark wheels on dark cars but the spyders look really well. Bit excited to get my vrs in the next few months. As a second car to replace the tired clio diesel.

[JackClap]

Decided to replace the catch can as I wasnt very impressed with the one I had off ebay.

Managed to find a different style catch can which is much easy to empty and looks a bit tidier is the engine bay.

I apologise for my ignorance Jack.. but what does a catch can ACTUALLY do?

It stops all the oil vapor being recirculated which eventually results in gunk through the egr and intercooler etc. Basically just keeps things running cleaner

I did have my doubts whether it would make much difference, but after I emptied it for the first time I was surprised how much oil it had actually collected

Ahh right okay.. That makes sense

you coming to the portsdown hill meet today?

[wheatobear]

Where did you get this from it looks like one I went to look at but when I got there it had a sold sign in it ...

Sent from my iPhone on the toilet!

[Gazedd]

Whats the light mod do? I'm new to fabia's so please excuse me if this is a blatant thing I should know about.

[AdsVRS07]

Not intending to offend anyone else but this is by far and away my favourite car on briskoda absolutely stunning well done mate I'm sure your very proud

[JackClap]

A few new things to update.

 

Fitted new front tyres, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. They have been getting rave reviews so gave them a try, they definitely live up to the reviews.

Although they are rather soft so I doubt they will have a very long life.

 

Also had the air con regassed. Such a nice luxury to have in this heat.

 

A mod I have been planning to do for a while, FMIC. After a lot of thought I eventually decided going for the THS Seatsport style and the darkside hardpipe kit. 

I have to say I did under estimate how much cutting was needed to get it to fit. I found it a complete pig to fit.

Eventually after many hours of frustration I got it all fitted.

 

I have only been for a quick sprited drive, It definitely helps when really giving it a push, Just keeps pulling and pulling. 

I do seem to have a small leak somewhere, but I'll look for that another day.

Lovely update, saw the pic on IG.

Should be fitting my forge FMIC soon, when it arrives.

[Taylor477]

Looks awesome buddy! Thats my next step too.. but probably won't go for this due to the amount of cutting.. 

 

Also.. I love the red piping

Thinking of changing mine to green..

In hindsight the Forge looks far more appealing now, far easier to fit and probably performs just as good. You planning on going for a bigger turbo eventually?

Thanks man, Hows the car since you've had the coilovers and bushings fitted?

[Kyle_vrs]

Stunning car. Looks perfect, you've done all the right mods to it in my eyes.

[redcupraboy]

Looked great today at the mega meet, I love your brakes and the colour of your wheels. Shame I didn't get chatting to you.

[Sharpyy]

Great work, all the little details make a massive difference. What have you got planned next?

[CumbriaFabiaVRS]

Such an impressive car, thoroughly enjoyed reading this topic!

[bowen]

Any news Jack?
