Hey buddy - just found your channel via Reddit. As someone who doesn't know a thing about cars - this is super cool to see and learn man - keep it up! I just started too!
I love my paddle clutch its so obnoxious having to rev out to 4k rpm or more just to move xD I used to have the mk1 vrs. Was flippin awesome for a 4 cylinder. I did a full metal intake pipe from the turbo inlet to the maf sensor with the filter directly on it. Also deleted the stock BOV vacuum accumulator system and ran my collins twin piston atmospheric bov vacuum source straight off the intake manifold. Sounded awesome. Miltek system with decat, custom pieced together fmic, amd remap. Was about 250bhp
Well i only had it because i was going through cars until i could get my dream car again. Theres only 40 of my dream car left on our roads and 400 of the standard 5 speed versions left - and GLOBALLY only 72,762 were made for the entire planet. So as you can imagine, it gets looks everywhere, and people ask me what it is everywhere and everytime i stop somewhere including fuel stations. And an octavia would never do nearly 190mph with just 340bhp to the wheels where my italian 5 cylinder does that not breaking a sweat.
Only thing that pissed me off with it was the electronic throttle. I like being able to feel what the engines doing, you dont get that with an electronic throttle. Oh the panda coloured vrs interior was desgusting also.
@@ADM_K Did you have to do any modifications to the mounts, or was it just a matter of tossing them in and calling it a day? I've been reading on the skoda forum and they're all saying that it won't fit without modification. :/ Edit: Also it's the highline trim, we've got those seats in our b5 passat v6. Suuuuuuuuuuuper comfy seats.
Might have faulty maf or lambda sensor if it's using fuel also a vacuum boost leak can cause high fuel consumption my 8l s3 was shit until i found the boost leaks which these engines are a nightmare for
VAG fan through and through and love Skoda. Seriously underrated. Not a fan of the lights. Far to dark on the back and front. Light smoke all day. 🔥
Thanks.👌 On video they look darker than they actually are.

Shame you don't have it no more. I absolutely love mine but currently it has few issues that I don't have time to fix

This Octavia looks great ❤.
Thanks it doesn't look as good anymore. I'll try to film an update soon
hey :D nice build, also got 1u2 octavia but tdi and fwd, doing relatively basic maintenance tasks ourselves
Love it. I've got a 4x4 1.8t estate. Were the seats from a b5 or b5 facelift btw? I'm intending to go and buy some right now lol
Yeah they are from b5 passat. Forgot what trim

Did you loose some of the light when painted black the reflector ?
You will loose the beam pattern if you just pain the lights. That's why I put in the projectors.
Would these brembo calipers fit with 16" wheels. I have the same wheels but they are 16 and not 17
Definitely wouldn't. They are soo close on 17"
@@ADM_K thanks for your reply 👍
