Re: Car Insurance for modified cars - tips and a guide Mine is covered to 5k and if I want different alloys for the car as long as I don't value them over 1k they don't mind. Dunno what they will be like with other mods though. I am seriously considering the rear anti-roll bar and front strut...

I hit at rabbit at 60mph a few months back. No damage to the car it went straight under the passenger wheel. I went back to look where it had ended up and there wasn't a mark on it. It was a "clean kill" with no blood. There was no disease on it either so it went in the boot. :bigsmile:

These are the main reasons I don't take my car to the dealers. I will for the next service to maintain the warranty but after that a good friend of mine who takes pride in his work can do it for me.

One option which is possible is to dump in the 1.9CDTI engine out of an Astra. Thurlby Motorsport have the Astra 888 which is tuned to 200bhp.

Oh and for those of you who are interested here is Clarkson's review of the Fabia vRS from his newspaper column. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article455398.ece If I were you I'd skip a fair bit, the actual car review is about halfway down the page.

This car year has been pretty good for me. Sold my Polo which did need a new throttle body (£400 but I didn't bother), windows which wouldn't go back up (again didn't bother) plus the clutch was on it's way out and the gearbox was pretty hopeless. Ended up selling for £2100. I could have got...

Has anyone done a test on the better diesel you can get? I have been tempted to do this with my vRS but my driving is too unpredictable. I don't go to the same places all the time if you know what I mean. I often will go on a random spin somewhere. I have been told it cuts down on black smoke...

I keep my flash drive with all my music in there. My headunit has a USB port.

Yeah my dad has an Octavia and you can line it up to a Bora and the middle bit is identical. Only differences are like you say is the front end and the Octy is a hatchback.

Too true. It's all about the budget. I know of Fabia's which have been tuned to 240bhp+ but that included bigger turbo's, LSD's, methanol injection plus loads of other stuff.

And with regards to handling people say the vRS doesn't handle well but to be honest it's never going to be a Lotus Exige but I think for a standard car it handles really well. I've never lost it yet.

Right to clear some things up the Fabia is pretty much the same as a Polo (9N) and an Ibiza MK3 The Polo GTI is a 1.8T but you can get a Polo GT TDI which shares the same engine as the Fabia vRS or the Ibiza FR which is 130bhp, 6 speed and up to 2006 has the engine code ASZ and 2006 on has the...

Yeah the only problem I get with that is people in Mini's always want to dabble me. I notice it most on the Motorway which TBH they don't stand a chance.

All the panels are original. It's had no spray it's a straight car. It's just a combination of bad lighting and my bad camera on my phone. I did the number plate thing on Photobucket and copied and pasted the pics
