    Belegur's Fabia RS

    I saw this car over near Kotara a few weekends ago. You work over that way? Definitely recognisable with the vinyl on it - who did the vinyl? Ive been thinking of getting my roof done in gloss black and Altapac is the only local place i know of.

    The tune and those APR/HP parts ill give the car a nice extra boost - these things are pretty quick already! Are you getting an intake aswell? Screw warranty, my car was tuned about 3 weeks after getting it from the dealer. You only live once - go for it.

    Not sure if your interested, but i have some sweet Porsche oil and coolant caps which fit perfectly on these engines and look really nice. Pics here if you are interested: Skoda spotted thread

    Yeah Lucas.. I work there a few days a week and work my own business other days. Altapac did the vinyl... other options are available in Sydney.

Exhaust has it breathing better and the tune is mild and switchable. It's nothing radical.

    Sorry, I meant the tunes, in particular Stage 2.

    I'll admit an intercooler interests me: I definitely noticed a drop in performance during some of the 40ish spells we had here in Perth last summer (seemed to be when the oil got burnt most as well). Doing anything like a tune scares me a little as, anecdotal evidence suggests at least, these motors are fragile.

    However, I look forward to your ongoing reports of any modifications.

    Very cool. Considering I got a 7.1sec 0-100 on Torque, you should stand to see some significant improvement

    Enjoy

    Have you fitted the bits as yet?

    Stage 1 ECU will void the warranty for the life of the car.... Promise you!

    Also, I think you have to prove the car doesn't have a problem because of the parts fitted.
