Skoda Octavia RS

[billybskoda]

Hello all, just thought I'd post up to introduce myself. Those in the West Sussex / Hampshire area may have seen me about.

I'm also a member on the Briskoda forum, so I have two Brisky stickers attached.



I regard my motor as a bit of a sleeper, even got two kiddie seats in her most of the time. The guys at JKM in Pompey have breathed on her with a REVO remap and I recently had a Forge Motorsport Diverter Valve fitted.

Previously had a mk 1 from new with induction and APR tune up.. Just thought I'd say hi if anyone has seen me about...

Hey buddy and welcome


As I recall, there's a chap in here who drivs a blue Fabia VRS who is also from the Briskoda fold.


Love the Octavia RS and the Mods done by the way. Sounds like a bit of a gem!

Hi
It's good to see i'm not the only MK2 OCT'y on here. Welcome!.
It'd be good to hear about any future mods on your TFSI version.

Cheers

Cheers guys. Was looking at possibly also getting an induction system, but at £300, they are a bit pricey. Part of the JKM remap is a Green panel filter replacement for the stock item.

To be honest, the first mod I get done from picking the car up is to book her in for the remap...

The mod I most want is the Nordschliefe sticker that I had on the mk1 I owned before.

Very nice! I've just ordered myself a new Octy VRS in race blue, powered by the devil juice unfortunately but I am so looking forward to it arriving in 11 weeks!!

I had a vRS with a remap from Jabbasport - bloody good car. Never ever went wrong v nice indeed. Hope yours is as good as mine was!

[billybskoda]

Had a succession of skodas now.

This is my second Octy rs, following on from the mk1 I had from new. Currently on 14,000 miles, and nearly 3 years old.. ;-)

Is that really a modification? Why put one on if it hasn't been? Apologises if it has. Looks nice and sleeperish though

[CHIEF]

Maybe a silly question but what do the Mk2's go like after a remap?

They're starting to look like extremely good value for money.

I suspect the point being made was that the OP would like to go back to the ring to 'earn' the sticker for this car....

[billybskoda]

Yep, much like the unwritten rule that Alberto Contador broke in the Tour de France, I wouldnt dream of putting the sticker on without the car earning it... kind of like having M stylee mirrors on a non M car....

As standard, its ok, great value for money and although they have to hamstring the official figures in the brochures, like a golf gti, but far, far better... ;-).

Once the remap is in, it all goes ballistic, linearly so, but still one heck of a change. It'll never be the most charismatic of engine notes, but it goes in sixth like it goes in second.... just keeps pulling for the next red line, and becomes much more versatile, kind of like sitting in 6th most of the time, with still the flexibility to respond.

Economy goes up as well, so its a great way to sell the idea to the mrs...
