Eskimo's Fabia-lous vRS.
 
Hi,

Thought I'd post a progress thread up for my Fabia.

Ive owned it around 5 months now, it replaced my Honda Civic EG6 B16A2 as was just costing me way to much to run, was a great car though!

Anyway, im not going to bore you all to much with this talking.. My names Liam, 20, and from Nottingham.


Spec:

vRS 1.9 TDi 130, Remapped by Shark to 172bhp, 289lb torque.
FK Highsport Coilovers.
FK Front anti roll bar.
Straight through pipe, Mufflerectomary and Cupra Tip.
Gold Calipers.
Grey VRS Wheels.
Colour coded Handles.
Colour coded LCR Splitter.
Colour coded Shuttle pan.
Colour coded Mirror Bases.
Colour coded Door strips.
Catch Tank, baffled.
Yellow Fogs.
Colour coded number plate surround.
Colour coded fog surrounds.
Colour coded grill.
Tints all round.
Allard EGR Delete.

Heres a few of my old cars, not in order.


















When I first got the car and it was lowered after 3 days of owning it, this was a trip to Matlock with the missus and dogs.




It went to be mapped by 'Shark Perfomance' a week later and I sprayed the wheels Matt black, I also started to clean it all up, by putting LED bulbs in, de-tango'd, and mufflerectomary.









In the mean time, its had new Cupra Bushes, FK Anti Roll bar, New expansion bottle, radiator, clutch, DMF, waterpump and thermostat.

The seats have been steam cleaned as was looking sorry for them selfs, there back to how they was.





A random filthy shot with BBS LM's on. And a it in the snow, fitted Tow strap, yellow fog lights, tints all round, spyvision on the lights and LCR Splitter by this point.








And as it stands today, colour coded mirror bases, splitter, door strips, shuttle pan, and grey wheels and engine cover. Also fitted a catch tank, and painted my calipers gold for temporary until I have 312mm.


























Hope you like it, and any comments feel free.

Will be updated thread with anything I do, ill be updating the thread later to make it easier to read, rushing for work at the moment.

Enjoy. ;)

jsdvtr 16th April 2012 19:42

Chr15 16th April 2012 19:45

Ryan1992 16th April 2012 20:13

Didn't this have a progress thread before?

Your old civic looks nuts mate! Something about yellow cars is just better!

Fabia is looking good as well

Lewis 16th April 2012 20:14

Really like this car! Sits sweet, could do with those BBS' back on though. And how the hell could you afford the insurance on an EG6 at 20?!

willsy 16th April 2012 20:27

BertieG 16th April 2012 20:33

tichy 16th April 2012 21:54

A re-trim is hopefully in order, been talking to Seat Surgeons about ideas. :cool:

Gandi699 17th April 2012 01:02

I think these are a sort of genesis for "hot" diesels. Thats quite a torque figure too, bet that shifts in gear

DannoWilko 17th April 2012 07:04

Love these, partly because of the Advert on the TV with the green one, Epic, and these can be modified tastfully like yours - browny points there lol. Anyway, looks smart.

bobertmate 17th April 2012 10:57

that is such a sexy Fabia!

BBM 17th April 2012 11:05

The EG was porn.

Fabia looks smart would love one of these after my VTR. The leather seats for these are nice with the piping and embosed VRS logo's.

Eskimo 18th April 2012 22:06

A few random ones, how it sat on BBS. And it in bits...
