awesome spec and a proper sleeper
my white octavia AKA the ambulance
10
well its been off the road for a long time now, nearly 4 years!!!! anywho its white octavia estate with tints and a towbar []
well my story of its current situation starts with a dodgy turbo upgrade in the way of an ATP GT2x fitted by a company that wanted nothing to do with it when it went wrong and also lied to me about the reason for its burning oil informing me that the head needed replacing resulting in me buying a replacement engine :x Once the new engine was bought a mate was brought in on the change and just before we started the work i destroyed the gearbox during a 6k launch []
so thats when the car came to a stop driving wise over the following(many) months i collected lots and lots of parts including but limited to the following(as i've probably forgotton bits):-
S3 gearbox
S3 drive shafts
S3 prop
S3 starter motor
S3 clutch cable
S3 s electors
Spec stage 3+ clutch spec
light weight alloy flywheel
uprated H&R ARB's for an R32
ABD ceramic coated high flow inlet manifold
JBS equal length tubular exhaust manifold with external wastegate added
Garrett GT2860rs
full 3" inlet pipes
Golf GTi recaro seats front and back
Tial 38mm waste gate with screamer pipe []
full 3" downpipe
heat proof insulating inlet manifold gasket
adjustable rear tie bars
440cc injectors(might need bigger)
82.5mm JE pistons ready for the rebuild of the original engine
the car already had the following:-
KW V2 coilovers
jabbasport large proalloy fmic
2.75" Blueflame cat back exhaust with sports cat
poly bushed front end
3" maf
3" BMC CDA
uprated Haldex controller
LCR 323mm brembo's
S3 upper front strut brace
S3 lower front strut brace
vRS front bumper to accomodate the fmic
17" VW santamonica wheels
poly dogbone engine mount
whilst it was apart some of the parts got spruced up a bit with the fmic getting painted black
the cam cover got bead blasted and lacquered but i don't have a pic of just this, only a pic of the built engine
here's a pic of the new shiny inlet manifold []
and the turbo []
the turbo fitted
a couple pics of the engine bay with the engine back in

it'll never be a smooth and problem free life as i'll never leave it alone []
every week i have a new idea/plan for it and its not even running yet!
and yes, it has surprised a few people even when standard []
there's a lad i know locally that took the P out of me when i got as it was completely standard and he said it was just an old mans car(he had a 1.4 16v mk5 fiesta), shortly after getting it i happened to be behind him at a T junction set of traffic lights entering a dual carriageway, he floored it as he was at the front and the look on his face when i easily passed him only 100 yards onto the bybass was priceless. he doesn't mock my car anymore.
