Agreed with this more details please.

My daily drive is a A4 3.0 tdi avant that's been remapped. 263hp and 390 lb ft. Same dyno as my s2000 has been on. It's bloody quick for a diesel.

Will make a thread my S soon as more or less finished it. 3.0" pulley was installed, better radiator etc and rerouting it still suffers from heatsoak though .

Had the Fabia dyno'd a bit ago made 184BHP with 323 lb ft torque, i made vents in the wheel arch for the SMIC and enlarged the intake pipe and fitted an EGR delete pipe thats all I'm doing to it power wise, it bloody goes well I'll telly you that!.

Fitted the coilovers first time I've done it and lets say i started in the morning and was finishing it off in the dark!, it does sit better and handle a bit better i think its low enough even though there is room for more.

Put colour coded door handles on it too.

To update this did a few bits and bobs, found out i actually had cruise control and six gears! - not sure if my expectations were low lol.

Soon to add a decat to spool the turbo up a little quicker and add a small amount of power, also I may possibly add a cheap FMIC as its okay for say one boot but after that it heatsoaks, and i may add steering wheel controls apart from that its finished really.

Torqu/power was actually reduced a little because it was too high for the clutch and a little more power eeked out up top towards the later end of the rev range in the map.

I am still impressed by the performance and MPG and the car has just gone over 100k and I've had no problems.

So really finished a few pics.

I chased a yellow one of these up the M6 slip road on Thursday near my house, I think he was surprised I managed to comfortably stay with him. Quite easily tell that his was 'mapped (as my Golf is), then getting to the lights at the top, his face showed admiration to my Team Dynamics wheels and a thumb up (and the surprise that a Golf diesel managed to keep the gap exactly the same). I'm certain mine is 180-185 as it was 1 80 map installed, heavier car than the Skoda. Perhaps his Skoda was 165-170hp. 180hp VRS skodas are in the region of 6.7 secs to 60, bizarrely quick for an 8valve 1.9 diesel.
Fun though, that's what I like about these cars. Extremely good value for money, look like "nothing" on the road really, therefore an oil sipping Sleeper when floored. Mine has a bigger SMIC but that also suffers heatsoak after a blast.
I was thinking the other day, wouldn't it be fab to be able to drop the 3litre BMW diesel engine in a small hatchback. Can you imagine the torque pull / remap figures on one of those. Nose heavy, but jaw dropping quick with still great mpg. Hmm....

It's almost certain it would have been remapped most are LOL, some with piss poor maps. Mine is custom remapped and its pushing it TBH but not to the extent it will blow up and the way i drive i don't exactly boot the shit out of it everywhere .

Your golf is a PD150 though so mapped I'd expect it to be on par, you'd suprised the golf isnt much heavier IIRC.

TBH mate, I think a 0-60 of 6.7 is unrealistic TBH i think its more in the low to mid 7's.

But totally i agree with you on the value for money and performance that why i like it, as i said i kept up with my mates EK9 which was tuned, however i think with me driving his EK9 i wouldn't have keep up for as long as i did in the fabia, IIRC it was about 90mph before he really pulled on me quite impressive.

You should drive a pd150 hybrid fabia pushing circa 240BHP now they are in a different league, a guy i know overtook easily a tuned golf R32 LOL.

I got my S2000 out today as i fitted a new exhaust only for it to piss down and nearly write it off! its been sat in the garage for 4 month.

I will the S just feels better to drive and more special but it should do LOL.

The fabia however i do love for different reasons

Mines a PD130 ;-)
