Project Fabia vRS TDi

[jammapic]

Hi,

I've been a bit lax on here recently, concentrating on other things - but thought I would update with the latest little project on the go...


I've been doing a lot of work on a load of Fabia vRS' recently, and needed something to do some development on - so went to the auction and bought this:



Didn't stay standard very long, as soon as I got it back to the unit, the box came off and one of our uprated clutch kits went on:





and a set of coilies:





and then mapped it to 170hp and 300lbft while the clutch bedded in.




Gave the car a proper details, and dropped it on the coilies:






Picked up a set of Audi TT comps, had the powdercoated in anthracite (the colour I seem to have all of my wheels done!!)





I have since gutted the cat, fitted one of our new EGR delete pipes, and gone further with the mapping now the clutch is properly bedded in. It's good for over 400lbft, but it'll need a bigger turbo before that becomes an issue (which incidentally I have already ordered from the supplier!)

I've also got a Forge FMIC in the unit, ready to fit - but there's not a lot of point while it's on the stock, baby turbo.. this will get done at the same time.

How the car sits at the moment:






and lastly, after all the time, effort and money I've put into the 306 - I decided to keep it. He is tucked up safely in the unit for the moment:





Cheers,

JP
