OCTAVIA 2 vRS - upgrade in progress - now 4x4 :D

<< < (9/9)

Bogdanbd:
And the rest of the goodies arrived last week:
















Unfortunately rear discs have not arrived yet due to a manufacturing problem, will be shipped later on.

Car is already at mechanic and the parts are being installed.

Bogdanbd:
As installatian has started I already encountered a bit of a dilema...how should get acces to the camber plates?




As you can see they are obstructed by that top of the ..whatever is called in English..
Would it be safe to cut/crop it?

Any opinions?

teo_parvu:
Great mods my friend!   :happy2:
But I think you'll have to cut, I see no other way. 

Bogdanbd:
Yeah, VWR just replied to my question, it is very safe to cut it.



Problem solved way sooner than expected  :happy2:
Will start to cut.

These are the track tyres:


And these will be the road tyres once I get another set of rims:


Aaaaaand there are more upgrades on the way  :drool:
I've been extremely quiet for abt 4 years, but now the time to throw the money in the car-pit has come. We finally have a circuit built just 40km away from Bucharest so is possible to have 2-3 trackdays/month and this..somehow..justifies the madness...  :evilgrin:

So, these (hopefully) we leave the UK this week:

VWR TRACKSPORT Coilover Suspension
VWR 'Cup Edition’ Front Suspension Upgrade Kit
VWR ‘Cup Edition’ Rear Bush Upgrade Kit
VWR Monoblock Big Brake Upgrade
VWR Rear Brake Disc/Rotor Upgrade Conversion

The VWR BBK and the rear brales will be complemented with CARBOTECH pads:
- front: 1521/daily & XP20/track
- rear: 1521/daily & XP12/track
Those are already ordered in US. I've been in contact with Ian from Carbotech UK (absolute super guy), but unfortunately UK prices are far way more expensive than US ones.

That's about it. There is going to be a huge transformation of the car and, I hope, that will be positive from all points of view.
I am a bit afraid that suspension is not the best option for daily drive (+ the stronger bushes), but I hope that on the lowest setting would make everything bearable..

Sorry to drag this old thread up but does anyone have an email address for bogdanbd or any information on if the S3 running gear is a direct fitment to the mk2 octavia vrs

Thanks
Bryan
