VRSLOZ's MK2 Skoda Fabia vRS - Powered By TMC & ITG @ 211.6 BHP

[VRSLOZ]

Update

Found some LED 501 bulbs laying around so decided to put them in the map reading lights.

Will order an LED white festoon bulb for the middle light and also going to order some Silvatec bulbs for the front indicators.

Looking good!

Those night shots look perfect, like the LED fogs.

Gave it a wash this afternoon (her first one) and got her back to (if not better!) than when I picked her up!

White wheels are a B**** to clean, wonder if I could get away painting the insides black?!

Method was :

2 Bucket method
Dried with MF cloths
Wheels cleaned
Glass cleaned
Quick detailed with Monkey Spunk (the product is actually called that!)
Tyres dressed
Mats dusted off as it wasn't too mucky inside

Pictures :

Well happy with the results!

Its very nice mate, bulbs are the first thing I have done, really transforms a car in my opinion for a cheap price. I love that black pack one really looks ace, damn it now do I really want a Boca haha.

Can't wait to see some more mods!

 

[VRSLOZ]

Get the Boc bought

Ordered some stuff today, nothing major though!

I love this! I didnt know that vRS fabias are petrol again.. Thats so much better! Okay, mate, you need to get a BOV, when you rev it, it needs a 'ttsssshhhh' to match the whistle from the turbo.. I'll upload a video from a mates twingo 1.2T with his dump valve on it..

And them dials look facking brilliant!!!! I love how the numbers turn off and the dials just whip round.. Awesome!!
And that photoshop looks brilliant, really transforms the car, would definately look at painting the grille surround blue, and then lamin-x'ing the headlights and the fogs..

I bet it goes like sh1t off a stick!

I did look at the Forge BOV spacer, will look into it more when I get a change. Not sure about the yellow fogs to be honest but the grille and lowering looks good

It's a little quicker than my old Ibiza

 

[aaronipswich]

From what I've read people who got the spacer usually wish they had gone for the full dv
But there is a big price difference

 

[Jimmy.D90]

love these cars and yours look amazing!

 

[t0m]

I'd go full dv buddy and not just a spacer if it was me.

Lowering on this car will be immense. Coilovers!

 

[VRSLOZ]

Cheers for the comments guys and I will look into the full BOV kit, guessing it will replace the stock BOV on the car already?

I need to get rid of my MK5 coils first then I might look into them a bit more

Here you are mate:

I think you may get accustomed to that link over the coming months!

What new bulbs did you use for the headlights? Massive improvement! Really looks good with your fog lights!

Thanks t0m, you've just spent my next couple of paychecks for me

Thanks mate, they are the Ultra H7 bulbs I used in my Ibiza

 

[t0m]

No worries ha ha...

It'll sound seriously good with a BOV though! Can't go wrong with Forge products tbh.

Only thing I was worried about was this sentence :

"It is recommended for any vehicle where the boost pressure has been increased by an ECU software upgrade and for unmodified vehicles operating in warmer climates, as a solution to the many failures of the OEM valve, that have occurred"

Does that mean it's better for those cars but it can be used by all?

Also will it sound like THIS all the time when changing gear or just when giving it some beans ?

 

[t0m]

It's fine mate. It's just like the 007p on our LCR's they do. When remapped to run higher boost, the OEM bosch DV's can fail due to weaker internals. The 007p is much tougher and they never seem to go wrong!

I had my 007p fitted as my 1st mod on my LCR not long after I bought it. It was running the standard map (225bhp) for nearly a year with no DV issues! Just better than before with the standard bosch DV.

Think of it as a good mod to have in place for if you map the car in the future.

In terms of noise, I think the 'blow-off' is only loud when under boost. My 007p noise level's really vary with boost. Under normal town careful driving it's just like the Bosch one. Give it the beans and you know it's there

Cool stuff, cheers for the reply mate

Are they hard to fit or is it best left to the pros? (I don't mind having a go)

Have a go mate. Shouldn't be too difficult. You'll get instructions with Forge and there's plenty of guide's already on the net I'm sure. Youtube tutorials etc.

SC, the Blow off adaptor is easy to fit If it's the same as the Leon, 3 torx screws, take the solenoid out, put the spacer on and then back together again
The new DV are a piston type which don't fail like the old ones with diaphragms, you'd be better getting that then the full BOV, your choice

Wonder if anyone with these VRS's have been stopped by the police?

'Excuse me sir, did you know you have your foglights on?'

'No officer, they're DRL's'

'What are DRL's?' haha
