Project Black Magic

hello peeps pickedthis up last month and onli just got round to posting pics up, its a 2005 skoda fabia vrs, 26,000 miles on it with full skoda service history,
the plans i have for it are:
remap
miltek turbo back exhaust system
audi tt front brake conversion
seat cupra 160 airbox
auto glym life protect
lowered maybe bout 40-60 mm

these mods will take time and money todo so as you canappreciate they wont be done next week but i am hoping by next year, basically i want it to be abit of a sleeper but not overly powerfull around 190-200bhp.

anyhu heres the pics:








all comments welcome!!

Get some octavia vrs brakes and wheels on there

Yeah they a 17in version of your original 16's.

You will need to fit 205/40 tyres on them though. Make sure you keep the same series sidewall ie 40's. Staggered will give you probs with traction control and you'll have a top end of 35mph

Nice motor my mum had one just like that but chopped it in for a special edition blue vrs. I drove both and they are awesome to drive. Be sure to get a seat PD160 air intake too but im sure you know that already. Also i have heard of people fitting seat ibiza suspension bushes because the stanard items are a bit turd. Where are you getting your remap done? Jabbasport sell loads of parts for the VRS if you havnt already take a peek round their website.

cheers tom, yeh was thinking of gettin it done at jabba or celtic tuning as they do mobile remaps, not really sure yet lol, i love the colour of the le blue vrs's.

I highly recommend jabba, they mapped my ibiza 1.8t and they do know there stuff plus there a good group of people that you can chat to, a lad that worked there did have a 240bhp/400ftlb vRS so i think they might know what there doing.

bit of an update, i havent done much except taken some pics lol, still debating wether to go the old performance route or get a bike this year, not sure yet but heres some fresh pics



also put a private plate on it (btw my initials are LAP)




comments welcome

Almost identical to my on excpt a lot higher than mine
oh an newer too
lots of fun too coz noone expects to be over taken by a skoda let alone a diesel one

take off the vrs badges and it makes a real sleeper

lol yes it ias fun especially if its a chav in a shitron spaxo lol
its only standard atm so not really quick but they do put u back in your seat, the only prob i have with the car is the traction control is like permantly on thru first and second as they wheelspin way to much lol,
still miss my golf abit tho:cry:

The problem is its not realy traction control it sumting stupid (ASR Anti Slip Regulation It uses the ABS wheel speed sensors to tell when a driven wheel speed
exceeds the other and then all by itself applies the brake to the
faster wheel. This transfers torque to the slower wheel and gets the
car going on slick surfaces. It only works in 1st and 2nd gear and
under 25 MPH although mine works in 3rd as well) it locks the front brakes on to stop the spinning u could just use the button on the dash and turn it off (but then the wheels just spin and spin and spin and spin..... lots of white smoke though oh and no tyre)
mine is pretty standad too but i recomend doing the front console bushes and replacing them with Seat ibiza Cupra Console bushes - Part No 6LL407183 if it hasnt already been done yet

cheers mooragerx7 yes thats all that happens lol,
still love it

again apologies for the rubbish pics. not 100% sure on the wheels yet, comments please good or bad and thanks to karl (valdimirr32) for fitting my tyres and antony (stampers) for giving me lifts, with wheels lol!

Strange question but did you come into Skoda garage in Cambridge around 3 weeks ago? Car looks familiar thats all

i went into vindis about 3months ago but the car was standard then, had the plate though, inquiring about a service.do you work there?

Looking good liam

looks better but needs to go lower

what coilovers did you get in the end?
and what they like????

how much did you get the wheels for im looking for some for my golf too whats the model name? as for the skoda it looks alot better

they are TT comps mate if they the 17's they also do a set in 16's which get called mini comps

yeah there comps, there originally diamond cut but you get alot of them polished or powder coated, mine have some laquer peel on them so gota get that sorted, it will possibly go another 20mm lower not sure yet though.
thanks for the comments guys
