Cracking job!

I too had been following BossHog's on the Skoda forum.

I'll bet this Yeti surprises a few.

Love it.

I do fancy a Yeti... considering one for the wife when her Corsa finally gives up because then we can both drive it as I can't stand her Corsa at all...

Very impressive, what sort of ££'s are we looking at roughly?

Don't do too much more to it , IMHO bossfox went too far with his Yeti with a totally different engine and lightweight panels, plastic windows etc it wasn't a Yeti any more.

Sad that the only 1.8 4x4 you can get now is the very top of the range elegance, can't imagine they're selling many of them.

Hey Ash! Still got the Polo, can't see me ever parting with that. Did a full rebuild from a bare shell a few years back. It's quicker than the Yeti, but far less tractable.

This is a link to the APR K04 conversion: http://www.goapr.co.uk/products/turbo_trans_18_tsi...
So that's £2.5k for the bigger turbo and EMS calibration to match. In my case the car has intercooler, downpipe, mid-box, air filter and clutch to add to that bill. It'd be fair to say you'd have to really want a quick Yeti to make the investment!

I don't plan on doing much more to it, other than continuing to try to refine it. Pushing it much more will mean driveline upgrades for reliability. Considering its level of tune it's fairly well mannered, but the clutch is a bit heavy for the wife so she doesn't like driving it.

In the facelift Yeti you can't even buy this engine anymore, biggest petrol is a 1.4TSI - it's all about the dervs!

This is the one I see at Castle Combe. IIRC the reg no is Bossfox. It slays Evos and Scoobies etc.

Both look such awesome fun.

Bad driving at 1.25. Be a black flag at CC for that. Over taking on a corner, at the apex ! Crazy.

Nice car OP by the way smile
