Juego's Fabia VRS

[Juego]

Well bought this standard in August to use as a mile cruncher and ended up falling in love with it. It's a 2005 05 Fabia VRS

This is my 8th car, 5th in a year and had one Diesel before this but most of my driving career all 5 years of it has been spent in Petrols. But this is the one car i've looked at replacing twice and actually decided not to which for me is rare as once i decide to change i change lol

Anyways current mods

Allard EGR Delete Pipe
My Private Plate (Hence the 04 Reg on an 05 car)
BMC CDA
Modified Crank Case Breather
Remapped
Boost Guage (Slightly different position since these pics)
TA Technix Coil Overs (at their lowest setting without removing adjuster cups or helper springs)

Coming soon

New Exhaust and De Cat
Tinted Windows

Those seats are gorgeous mate, lovely car all around!

Gorgeous but manky and murder to keep clean to the degree i've given up. Roll on when i can afford a re trim

2 Kids doesn't help the equasion either lol

Modified Crank Case Breather

What gains is there to be had by doing this mod, and which pipes are you connectiong together??

 

[cap r 225]

Do like this, I always think the wheels need to be a bit bigger though

 

[cuprakemp]

just sold my fabia and i luved it . u taken ur side strips off is the paint ok under them as there can be paint bubbling under them. and is ur clutch slipping with the remap

 

[Ad Lav]

Looking good

Does need bigger wheels though...

 

[Juego]

The gains to be had with the crank case breather modified I'm not sure about tbh but it's a highly reccomended mod even the guy who mapped my car was glad I'd done it. It just stops the nasty cruddy oil going through you're turbo as it doesn't really do it any favours. So I got told anyways

Wheels I like and is one of the features I really don't wanna change. They're getting refurbed silver again as I want an oem sleeper look as they r under estimated anyway

My paints all bubbled under the bump strips which is why I cba taking the glue off the doors until I order new bumpstrips which are £12 each! Bit of a rip off imo

 

[cuprakemp]

try the 10 year paint warrenty mate they may paint it for u but tell them one was coming off and u notice the paint bubbling and thought u would check the rest

 

[Juego]

Tried that, took it to Henrys Skoda in Glasgow and they put it through as a defect from the factory and put it down as a manufacturing defect and they rejected it cos the cars out of manufacturer warranty so I dunno if I can try again or not

looks a nice tidy motor.

What exactly have you done to crank case then? Just unplugged and plugged to another pipe?

 

[Juego]

Yeh unplug it from the inlet manifold and put a bottle cap over the inlet vacuum side. The the outlet from the crank case connect to pipe with a bore the same as the pipe and arraldite it in

Mines leaks ever so slightly and I'll be fixing it properly later. You could plumb it into an oil catch can if you could be bothered with the hassle of emptying and cleaning it when needed which depending on you're mileage could be alot lol

Personally I prefer the vent to atmosphere approach

 

[kelford1988]

oh rite so that pipe you connected it to is one you've added and it just runs down the back of the engine to under the car, but isn't actually connected to anything at the end?

Thanks for then reply by the way
