Some of the bits would be nice, but the rear brace sort of negates the main reason for buying a wagon in the first place (load space).
I can't see Skoda Oz being allowed to offer the remap as a "factory" option, as it would steal too many sales from the Golf GTI and even the sporty Audi 3 models (but if it was available as a road legal, insurable option I'd have one in a flash (pun intended).
I see it as more like a show car, built to attract attention that can then be diverted to the cars they do actually sell.

I really like the dark rims. I'm thinking of having mine painted the same colour , as i also have a white wagon

190Kw, with only 350nm? I wouldve thought it would have the same figures as a chipped Golf/Jetta?

Especially with the full length 3" exhaust.Originally Posted by anthony_VWJET
That makes the minimum a stage 2 tune which should give over 200kw and anything up to about 412Nm.
I guess the "factory" remap would have to stay within 350Nm as that's the published limit for DSG.

Oh damn....
from http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Ar...eID=65152&vf=2While some individual equipment items may turn up on Skoda's options list, the RS-P is unlikely to be offered as an adjunct to the mainstream Octavia range.

Just need to buy a BMC CDA Air box, visit a good quality exhaust centre, and visit the boys at Oettinger in canberra and you'd have a more potent engine. Then maybe jump on line and buy some coil overs from Europe and away ya go, make it more a personal set up.
I'm looking forward to getting my Silver vRS wagon hopefully late next week or the week after. Then i just have to convince the wife that the car need's a little "tweaking" to make it more personal. ha ha ha ha not likely
