A Fabia VRS trying to race you on the motorway is like that small guy who doesn't backdown from a bar fight with a big guy, you just know there's more than you'd expect 😂
On the motorway? Why say motorway? Cars with higher horses from 80 will obviously be quicker past 100. 🤦🏻♂️ they do struggle past 100. They’re at their best from 30 to 100. And they’re animals.
Have one of these in the family. Cost us £1000 (171k on miles) and has a pd150 turbo and is mapped to around 200. It honestly brings me joy when I drive it. So much fun and it feels fast on the twisty roads. Cheap as chips to run, insure, repair and maintain. And returns 50+Mpg
No car is cheap to insure as first car. However once you have a few years experience and no claims there's not much out there as nippy as the VRS and cheaper to insure
@@44yamx70 get a small petrol runabout for your first car. I got a Peugeot 205 and could insure it for £500 looking to swap it for a vRS now I have no claims and insurance is only £600 for it

They do have their issues. But great on fuel and quick when tuned. Plus cheap to maintain. I use a slightly tuned as a daily (230hp 350lbs). I have another car thats quicker but these are fun.

Just bought a Toyota sprinter trueno GTZ from your mate Ricky, Yurgen at JM IMPORTS, it has a 1.6L 16v DOHC supercharged engine running around 170bhp stock, has LSD and is a 5 speed, rare as rocking horse 💩 cant wait to pick her up!, deffo a future turbo build, herd the engines have forged parts from factory and block is solid an are good for upto 300+bhp without internal part changes 😆 🤔 Gearboxes are also suppose to be well over engineered for the stock power, id love to get it on the channel Ricky in the future, so you can scare the life out of me on the twistys 🤣
Not surprised it keeps spinning with those Nankang ‘ditch finders’. I bet the car would be a lot better on some decent rubber like Michelin PS4S’ or Goodyear Eagle F1 SS.

A pd 150 turbo isn't getting anywhere near 300, even a hybrid won't get near, he says he's running a 2260vk, that with the injectors/upgraded clutch flywheel, mapping ect would easily be 6k when all factors are considered, once had a mk4 golf with a pd130 in that i chucked money at, wish i hadn't its not worth it, costs too much to have a car that keeps up with mediocre petrol cars. Diesels are best at being the slow ones 😀, you want to go quick get a petrol.
Reminds me of my old Mk4 Jetta tdi. It was stage 1 tuned and I had a VNT 20 that never made it on. This thing makes Golf R power and I guarantee it gets better gas mileage
I have a standard Fabia vRS and in day to day commuting it's performance is sufficient. Good on fuel and has enough poke to get up to speed with not much sweat! Wouldn't say it's any quicker than a car of the same horsepower and weight figures. The advantage of a petrol engine is a wide powerband. Gearing isn't much of a factor, if anything it has longer gearing than a typical small engined petrol. It just doesn't rev high and runs out of shove around 3.5k rpm.
Talking of diesels when is Beanz coming back on with his modified Golf MK4 PD130? I've uprated the brakes & suspension on my remapped PD150 as well as had new bushes, engine mounts, cv joint, wheel bearings etc. I'm only running 200bhp at the crank but would bring it along for a side by side before and after with his. Looking to do my first track day with it as soon as all the fuel shortages are over. Got 2 sets of wheels for tyre choices to suit the weather too.
Love these cars and have one (daily) as well as a TTS…. Stick to the roots Ricky. Good vid. And them Northerners fookin love em. Were too jumped up down these ways. I feel like spending big money on mine to shut people up and wipe some smiles but I think forging my TTS with a big turbo and taking it from 380 to 550 is wheee its at.
Also people diss cheap coil overs like jom and fk but in all honesty over factory on 90% of cars it’s a massive improvement in handling given the compromise in ride
