Bluewaffle Octavia vRS MKII Track!
Turbobell:
Thought I would share my build thread with you alll.... It starts way back in Jan 13, bare with it....
So... Was having a casual snoop on eBay as I wanted to get another vRS after missing my MK1 Fabia... Thanks to the loins' productivity we are now a +1 couple. An Octavia was the only genuine option. I am immensely tight and half capable on the spanners so I wanted a broken one! Annnd 1 night I found one
After 7 days of watching my eBay account I won.
Got the car home on a trailer and the morning after I got some pics...

So... First things first, I got the battery charged up and checked for faults...
3 codes were present relating to inlet cam timing... 1 for fuel pump pressure...
These were cleared and I flicked the key... The classic noise of lack of compression filled the garage
In preperation for the typical worst case scenario, I grabbed every guide I could from Elsa-pro and started taking bits off.

When chatting to a good friend of mine about the car, he remembered he had a 'spare' BWA head lying around.. took the head home with me with a few spare bits like the fuel pump etc.

So, as the main fault codes I had were all to do with inlet cam, I wanted to see the valves/cams and as intake manifold and rocker cover removal are pretty easy i whipped them off.
