as alot of you know i sold my r5gtt last summer and since then had a 206 gti for me and the wife.
well we fount out 2 weeks ago that we are having our first child later this year so the 206 just wouldnt of been practical, it was decided we needed something 5 door with a big boot and on my part something i can keep my hand in with modding

decision was made on a 2001 octavia vrs in black here is the write up of the for sale ad and also a few pics

I have all receipts and previous MOT's including the original hand book etc.8 Months MOT, The car is immaculate for its age and has a super clean and unworn interior (never smoked in).

all this motor for 1,195 pound which i still cant believe its an absolute bargain


now the plans are to sensibly modify the car to keep it practical for the wife and baby so no noisy exhaust systems etc but this still shouldnt stop me improving on what i feel is a great all round engine (my bro has owned 2 20v turbo cars) so i do know quite a bit on the tuning side of these things but by no means am i an expert.


i have already purchased a cai kit from fellow briskoda member octycal and as long as it arrives this week i will get it fitted this sunday before i give the car a good detail (oh yes thats another hobby of mine).
also i have negotiated a deal for a forge intercooler which fits exactly the same as oe but has larger core etc etc.
i am then looking to fit an uprated turbo intake pipe and other related hoses and possibly a decat downpipe onto the existing oe exhaust system, once done a stage 1 remap at either psi tuning or more bhp will be carried out to keep me happy for now, but seriously watch this space in the coming months as im sure ill have some interesting updates for you all

Looks a nice one that. They must be getting thin on the ground now.
I had a 2004 octavia in black it was a great car.
I fitted a blue flame exhaust to mine it wasn't loud at all think it was a two muffler deal.
Made a bit of a difference to how it drove.

Jay,

These are cool cars nice to drive go well a good all rounders nice choice mate

bluntys1rsturbo

Cheers fellas iv always liked them from.years back and as you say jay a good all rounder.
Stevo i also had a blueflame many years ago on my old mg was one of the best made and sounding sytems iv ever had. But im sure they dont make systems for the vrs anymore and in fact concentrate more on bike exhausts nowadays

awesome motors, here's my old 55 plate one



one thing i would recommend you do is drop the sump, clean out the sump pan & fit a new strainer. Common problem on them blocking up the strainer/pcik up pipe

the sum is dead easy to remove, iirc you only have to undo the sensor plug on the sump, undo the 10mm bolts and it drops down. few hours tops

bluntys1rsturbo

Cheers for the heads up matey i will be sure to get this done. Yours looked a good un btw did you keep it standard or mod it ?

IanC

Blue flame make car exhausts under the name bcs now days pal they do some excellent work too 😀

bluntys1rsturbo

Cheers for that ian do they have a website? If so dont suppose you could link me to It

IanC

http://www.powervalve.co.uk Pal give them a bell nige is a top bloke he will sort you out pal

bluntys1rsturbo

Thanks ian thats good of you fella.

I will 100% give him a call as if he can make me a system that isnt loud etc then its a winner all day

Fantastic cars, nearly bought one before the T5. Impressive brakes as standard too. As above though drop the sump and clean it out, they sludge up.

Remap, exhaust and filter wakes them up and makes a great daily.

CrOwSoN15

Get yourself on Briskoda too.

Looking good mate and congratulations to you both, do you know what sex it is yet or is she not that far yet?
I thought you were getting the hatchback but that is best of both worlds. Look forward to seeing the mods.

bluntys1rsturbo

Iv not heard many people say a bad word about them tbh and i will defo get the sump off and cleaned etc.

I should imagine it will be remapped next Month after a good health check and service if needed.
Iv.already been in contact with wilky about one of his big hybrids for the 20v turbo. Dont want the hassle of k04 converting it.

bluntys1rsturbo

Signed up a few weeks ago great forum very helpful lot and purchased the cai kit for very cheap off there.

bluntys1rsturbo

Hi gaz hope your well mate?

Shes not that far yet but going off my bros theory it will be a boy (dont ask) might even be a grudge pregnancy haha.

Keep your eyes peeled should have a few updates on sunday

bluntys1rsturbo

well we collected the car yesterday morning, you would never believe it has covered 144k it is as tight as new no rattles squeeks or bangs engine pulls really well ticks over lovely quite as a mouse.
it is due a big service including cambelt kit change so i ordered and picked up the following yesterday

cam belt kit, water pump, thermostat, oil and filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and brake fluid. also going to remove the throttle bodie and give that a clean.

the paintwork is looking like it has done 144k though alot of swirls and quite a few scratches but they dont seem deep so fingers crossed i can spend a good few hours on it and get it looking a bit more like it.

COSSIEGAZ

Hello mate I'm good been on a spending spree but not on car stuff and generally spending time with the family.

Get your DA out and compound and get it looking smart mate. That reminds me I need to get some clay bar and wheel cleaner as I need to do the Mrs car lol.

stevos

Just don't un plug the throttle body when your cleaning it and you won't need to get it re calibrated.

bluntys1rsturbo

so me and the good wife spent a good 5 hours on the car today this consisted of in no particular order

washed/clay mitted/alloys cleaned/ tyres dressed/ fallout removed/ windows cleaned and polished/ pre wax cleanser/ polished and waxed/ trim dressed/ interior cleaned/leather cleaned and treated/ ex dealer decal removed from boot glue removed etc/ engine bay cleaned. i think thats it i was intending on fitting the cai kit but my back is absolutely killing me so it can wait until next weekend now.

anyway heres a few pics sorry they were only taken off my phone (cant find our camera)

CrOwSoN15

Looks very very tidy, nice job mate.

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers fella took some doing so glad the wife helped she really got stuck in

CrOwSoN15

Just remembered, this was my inspiration for getting one;

bluntys1rsturbo

car is booked in this thursday with my mate at gt motorsport in stoke for a full service including fuel filter and brake fluid change and also a cambelt /waterpump replacement as its due 60k since its last change.
cannot stress enough how much me and the wife like this car

bluntys1rsturbo

now thats one cool looking vrs

bluntys1rsturbo

i have just ordered a new tb gasket and just fount out the tb can be removed and cleaned without removing any of the plugs, so i will be doing that this sunday

L1AM_RS

Awesome cars for the price nowadays.

Sold my 05 a couple of years ago, one of the best car's i had. Stage 1 map, decat and a few other mods. Never put a foot wrong.

Has it had the coil pack recall done?

bluntys1rsturbo

well the wife finished work yesterday so it gave me chance to do a few jobs on the car this consisted of the following

cleaned the throttle body
fitted k&n panel filter
fitted new numberplates

had a little drive to the shops after and must say i do like the little extra noise when letting off the loud pedal

bluntys1rsturbo

cant agree more fella, im really looking forward to adding a few mods to help it breathe a bit easier and get rid of the gasses quicker and of course having it mapped.

im not sure but going off the previous owners id say it has i will have a look through the mound of paperwork tonight

bluntys1rsturbo

not the most exiting of updates but thought id post a few pics of the old and new plates, little touches make a nice difference

before


after


old vs new


a more relevant update is that the car has had a full service with belts etc changed today by my good mate mark at gt motorsport in stoke, he also says its the diverter causing the hesitant boost issue every now and then, so iv purchased a 007p one via a fella over on facebook for Ł60.

kyle_st200

I had one of these shortly last year after always wanting one and we loved it.

Looked completely standard apart from a subtle miltek tailpipe at the back but under the bonnet it was stage 2.

It had forge fmic, forge enlarged turbo intake pipe, carbonio carbon intake pipe with k&n cone filter, 3" down pipe to decat and miltek resonated cat back system and a forge dump valve and then a revo stage 2 map. It was a awesome car but sadly too thirsty so the wife had my fabia vRS I had and I got a van for work.
If you want a quiet exhaust a resonated miltek is a good shout. I was very impressed with it it had a nice tone but wasn't loud at all. I'd love another one will watch this thread with envy

bluntys1rsturbo

very nice matey what power was she running?id imagine around 225ish?

kyle_st200

I never had it rolling roaded but going off other people's cars with the same spec between 225-250bhp a lot of that could depend on the rollers used though to be fair. It was definitely a good improvement over standard and I still got 30mpg on a run, just a shame it was so thirsty round town

bluntys1rsturbo

very nice mate, iv been speaking to a fella named clive from cn tuning not sure if you have heard of him?

given me quite a few pointers and is going to be supplying me with quite a few bits down the line

kyle_st200

Yeah his place is down a farm track type thing I picked some wheels up from his place once. Heard very good things about him and if mine hadn't already been mapped I'd of gone to him for mapping as a lot of the guys on briskoda rave about him.

L1AM_RS

His name rings a bell from my time over at Briskoda. Have you signed up on there yet?

bluntys1rsturbo

yeah i signed up a couple of years ago when on the lookout for a fabia vrs, kicked back in on there the week i bought the current vrs, cracking forum very helpful and honest lot, one of the local members even dropped me an inbox out the blue and gave me his old k&n panel filter foc

nealo

nice motor!

underrated cars these, so much for your money!

bluntys1rsturbo

Cheers fella couldn't agree more.

bluntys1rsturbo

yesterday i received my uprated forge 007p recirc valve got this for a very good price just waiting on my length of vacuum hose to arrive then i will get it fitted
