Fabia RS Track Project Thread

[zei20t]

So I picked myself up a 2012 Fabia RS pretty cheap. Rallye Green, 47k, full Skoda service history. Besides the damage, its otherwise immaculate and well looked after.

It's had a hit in the side and was written off. I'm turning it into a track car that I'll tow with my Octavia RS.

Anyway, this is my SLOW build thread of what ill be doing to it.

Happy for some input, if anyone needs parts that I'm removing - Feel free to PM me. But please don't PM me asking for bits - unless its interior bits, its mostly all going - except the seats and steering wheel and dash.

Lets start with what I have got myself into:






Turns out you can fit both replacement doors and front guard into the boot!



And here is a few hours work of removing stuff. Not as easy as you'd think. I'm trying not to damage things in case they are useful to someone. Anyone want a Swing radio? a deployed airbag or two? a few un-deployed airbags?








A few more hours of work, ive done a bulk of the removal. Now to remove mechanical stuff, and bits under the bonnet.



Replaced the airfilter which was pretty much brand new anyway.



And while I was bored, I installed new shoes. Slightly lighter per corner, and 0.5" wider.



Found about 40-50kg of dead weight in the back of the car. Weights and crash bar has been removed.
