Seen the results first hand last weekend at Ringwood State Hillclimb round. The car was great in the corners and almost pulled off the class win against the mega power HSV's.

It is such a shame that the current Fabia is not pushed harder by Skoda/Volkswagen Australia. From a performance point of view it is around 100kg lighter then the previous model however the top power...
No sign of any Octavia RS drivers this year yet. Looks like it is up to the Fabia RS to fly the Skoda Flag....lol
Did the car run ok again after restart?
You are forgetting that the twincharger is still in production and in current Tiguans and Jetta's.
Engine is fine as long as it has all the factory updates. Mine is up around 225 hp now up from...
Hey Sam
Had a slight tail wind at the start of the day so that is when I got my best time. Later on there was a bit of a cross wind but it did not affect the car much. The thing that upset the car...

Yep its me Sam. Glad you got to experience it first hand. Huntley is a real hillclimb where power and bravery are rewarded.
They would look good on the Polo at round 1 of the state hillclimb series next year. :driver:
In the past I would be running as high as 36psi on the street. While this is great for fuel economy, it will tend to over heat the tyres to quick on the track. On the street now I use around 32psi on...
The Fabia does have a ESC on/off button.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to invest in a vag-com sooner or later.
Thanks for the DSG review Jimmedy. I have a bit of a problem at present accelerating out of tight corners on the track. Sometimes the car will cut the power for a second or 2 before it gets full...
Used to get fault codes with stage 1 and it would go into limp mode. So would have to turn the motor off to reset. Then fitted gfb diverter + and no more fault codes. Now stage 2 and still fine.

The better responsiveness comes from when you modulating the throttle while on boost. It does not add any power.
The GFB diverter + is a must have for any car with a stage 1 or 2 tune. It just makes the throttle much more responsive.
I too am curious about the DSG tune.
Yep spent alot of time online reading different builds from overseas but like you I found myself looking at it from a more Australian prosective. Wagner intercooler and GFB diverter + have been on...
Looking forward to your results Jimmedy
I have a Fabia RS with pretty similar modes.

Which baby set you get depends on your budget mostly. Fitting the seat is relatively easy once you have done it a few times. As a suggestion pick a seat that will convert from a backward facing baby...
G'day All
Just want to let people know that the Southern Sporting Car Club are accepting entries from members of any club that would like to run at this weekends Supersprint on the Brabham Circuit...
Set a new class record during the State Hillclimb championship round yesterday at Huntley. So I guess you could say that.

G'day Paul
You have 2 options as I see it. You can delete the middle resonator or fit a turbo back system. The middle resonator delete will give you a bit more noise and no performance gain. The...
Dude if you have not no oil on your dip then head off to Supercheap Auto or Repco or where ever and get some Penrite ENVIRO+ 5W-30 (Full Synthetic). I am guessing the factory warranty has expired...
I like the new wheels. They should do the trick for now.
