OCTAVIA 2 vRS - upgrade in progress - now 4x4 :D
« on: February 08, 2010, 10:48:19 pm »
Hello everybody!
I would like to present my car here too, it is still work in progress, so any advice is kindly appreciated.

So here goes:
2008 Skoda Octavia II vRS, candy white (full options)

The car has the following modifications:

- MTM Germany tuned @ ~330HP
- MTM full exhaust system
- K04 turbo kit
- S3 injectors
- S3 brake kit front & rear
- 10 mm spacers front & rear
- S3 FMIC
- EVOMS C.A.I.
- KW variant 1 coilover kit
- EIBACH Anti-Roll-Bar kit + BSH end links
- EUROJET PCV fix (not yet on the car)

Upgrades ordered and waiting for arrival:
- QUAIFE LSD
- SOUTH BEND clutch kit stage 3 (/w litghtened flywheel)
- BSH engine mounts & pendulum 
- WHITELINE WALK & bushes

My plan is to reach 350-380hp with K04. Unfortunately mtm would not make the soft for this, they make 380hp only with new turbo, K16 - which I do not want. So, I think I'll switch to REVO.

As hardware I'm planning for:
- HPFP - APR I guess
- new diverter valve
- BSH street catch can system
- S3 camshafts
- IE rods (if I decide to go over 350HP)
- last , but not least some OZ's Allegerita or Ultraleggera
- any other ideeas are welcomed

Photos in following post  :happy2:

I have not decided yet if I go for a rebuild or just buy an APR. I know is way too expensive, but I understood that is also slightly better than a rebuild.

Nope, see why:

Some minor exterior mods:











Now the front metal grills are repainted mate black, looks better that way.

And I forgot to mention, I want this gauges too, I hope the OSIR o-pod fits my car...



You have to cut a little bit from the hook, but you can open it, you just have to stick your hand a bit deeper inside/under the hood to grab it

I hope you like the car and if you have any comments/ suggestions pls do not hesitate :happy2:.

Last week of April me and some other buddies from our local vwforum will go to Nring for a few days (of tracking). I'm trying to get as much as possible done until then.

^ I'm with him, makes the headlights look a bit 'droopy' imo. Other than that I think it looks great in a sleeper car kinda way, you wouldn't expect a Skoda with 330hp! Keep it up  :happy2:

I kinda like it...gives  the car a more agressive look  :smiley:

I won't stop 330hp for sure, At least 350 in one month time..  :happy2:

I forgot to mention I will also install a front mount intercooler, jusy have not decided between Forge and Eurojet...Eurojet is almost 150 usd cheaper and a bit bigger..dont know what to do...

do the eurojet brackets fit the vRS though. i know the brackets on the forge IC for the vRS are in different places to the seats and golfs because i bought a second hand one and it wold not go on without fabrication.

I really like the eyebrows actually.  loving the look of the car.
