Hey guys i used to be quite an active member i drove this:



However my girlfriend fell pregnant and as you can see this wouldnt of been very practical at all, ive since then got a mortgage and a little lad so i had to put my modding on hold, im now at a stage where i can start back up again and i now drive this, right family wagon :afro:

Welcome back dude.... the skoda looks nice... will look out for it...

Cheers mate, starting a family an having a mortgage is hard bloody work lol glad i can start playing agen

fair play mate do like the skodas and your old seat is smart

welcome back ,as said nice looking vrs

Awesome octy vrs ftw

Looks nice mate

cheers guys appreciate the nice comments, nice change go on a nice polite forum :D

Had two of these and very good cars with a couple of mods

Proper underated them VRS Octys. Nice motor.

yeah id defo have one the estate is 4x4 aswell my mate just sold one with 180,000 on the clock and his never missed a beat

Welcome love the car been looking at them myself

Was a cracking day today and im off work so i got up crack of dawn and got all my cleaning gear out and gave the girl a good vac/polish really finding it hard to mod this car as i like the way it looks out the box, am also on briskoda and theres very little mods people do to the exterior of these from what i can see...

at the moment its got

quickshift
xeon lights
A4 DRL's
torx grooved disc's

and just waiting on do a deal on a dv with rick before i get her mapped and RARB.

Would love some decent quality picture put only have my phone at hand sorry!!

looks clean mate i agree you can leave these standard and they still look mint

Cheers dude, think i might play with some spacers, 17's dont fill the arches enough!

30/40mm drop all round and space the rears out 15mm job done

would love give it a decent drop, just trying source the right bits, coils for these are like 600 quid! might av get saving harder lol spacing the rear sounds like a plan!

My octy was on AP coilovers with 10mm lowering caps up front and no rear adjusters.

this looks awesome wheels work really well what FMIC you running? Big power or stage 2?

An how was the ride on the ap's dude? Cheers.

Ride on the AP's was not so good on the front but the back was fine.

Was a home brew front mount with a universal intercooler of ebay and a set of ABD golf mk4 pipes. Was standard apard from intercooler and exhaust. My old black one was 246bhp wihout a great load of mods.

If you want a good ride go for KW but they are not cheap. Had them on my old black one and it was lowe than the silver one.






I am running FK AK streets at the moment on my Passat and they are very good for the money.

Christ youve gone the whole hog on the octavia's topman gave me sone food for thought id love some budget coilovers for the vrs but they just dont cater for them ive heard people fitting TT coils but the ride goes to pot cause of the extra weight plus i have my little lad in with me so dont want a deathtrap!

The problem is you have bora/golf mk4 rear end with Audi TT/ R32 front end so not easy to get coilovers for. Best kit to go for would be the Weitec kit as same as the KW just shock bodies are not stainless but still use Koni shocks.

Any questions about bits just let me know as already mostly had the same problems etc.

Yea brill, love what youve done with them i personally think there very difficult to style as it caters a more sporty/racer look which is not really "scene" amongst vag owners but i love them

They had only just started when i had the black octy new in 2003 but there stuff is good quality and quick delivery.

Only real company that produces this type of stuff for skoda's.

Yea first ive seen selling such stuff going av a good nose

Once you've got your dv sorted keep your eyes peeled.....

... thinking of doing a Staffs VW day one weekend in May with discounts across the board on everything from Remaps to servicing and brakes.

Fitted new active speaker system over the weekend 2x12" jl audio w3 subs at approx 900rms

And kenwood doors running off a alpine 2 channel amp.

Excuse the poor phone pictures

Couple of good free audio mods for the octy.

Remove the front speakers and where the foam membrane is behind the rear speaker cut it out as it gives you a lot more bass and better sound.

One problem you may find if you have the seat back reclined a bit is the tweeters in the front of the rear doors are just behind you and are a bit ****. Go to the rear speakers in the parcel shelf side pods and there is two connectors. One is for the speaker in and the other is the output to the tweeter so you can disconnect them without taking anything apart just to see if it sounds better.

thanks dude ive removed the membrane as it was fouling the speakers ive put in, your right about the rear tweeters i didnt realise the output was at the rear though i just disconnected the tweeter, spotted it on briskoda
