I'm going for the vRS

Did you try a Fabia vRS or do you need more space?

One assumes the Octavia will find its way to Jabba Sport quite soon for

230bhp upgrade :) ?

Forget that, the 300bhp isn't much more as it's still stock internals.

Need more space for carrying boxes and i'm really not that keen on the look of the fabia, it really does look like its got too many doors to me. I looked at a superb and that's not something I like the look of either but the Octavia just about does it for me, just a pity the front grill isn't half the height but what the heck.

Oh yes. Already pricing up the cost of lowering it but I don't want it too hard this time - roads round here are absolutely shocking off the main A roads, the main roads themselves aren't great. I reckon the pigs ought to plough a bit of the hard earned revenue they generate back into the roads they derive so much income from.

Good man, best golf you can buy that isn't much different in size to an A4, and costs about the same as a hot Polo. Well done.

The Superb is best if you need A6 style semi luxry on a budget. Missus has a Fabia 1.4, very good car for basically a rehash of Skoda's old 8v unit (based on the 1.0,1.2,1.3's since the 70's), rather than the 16v Polo one (simpler, cam chain instead of belt, apart from the injection gubbins I know them pretty well).

Get yourself along to Briskoda.net, also, if you fancy a trip over to CZ, there are tuning and styling bits galore.

Do styling/body kits, and stick on tat. HP Sporting Make shock absorbers. BTW, use Xe.com as a currency converter and see how cheap there are if you pick a set up in a local tuning shop while over on a weekend pissup in prague. And have a look see at their racing shocks too.

Also see if you can locate a man called John Shelley (he has a website

but it appears to be down ATM).he's more into the old rear engined cars, actually owning one of John Haugland's old Group B Estelles, but he lives full time in CZ now, knows all the local Skoda tuners and developers, and makes trips over to deliver parts ordered and collect payment.

This is something that's never ever appealled to me. The only cosmetic mod i've ever done to any of my cars (if lowering them doesn't count) was a go faster filler cap on a renault 5 turbo in the early 90's and the connecting pipe made putting the fuel nozzle into the neck of the tank without getting a blow back a definite skill.

Will do that.

All good stuff. Thanks.
