TDISport - The Diesel Forum and Community

OK, I know this first one is not a diesel, but is has been my project for the past twelve months. I have now sold it and intend to invest in my daily driver instead.



It's my (ex) Skoda Felicia Fun. 1.6 mpi engine, 2/4seat convertible/pick up. Lowered 35mm at the front and 30mm at the rear. Was running 15" gunmetal wheels but shown here at Dubmania with the 13" yellow minilite style.







Hardtop



Half leather interior



Crappy shot of 15" wheels


But it had to go to free up space and cash to concentrate my other baby (Yes, it's a Skoda too!)







Its the 1.9 Tdi PD 105 bhp with the DSG auto/tiptronic gearbrox. It's an elegance model so has all the bits, Cruise (broken) park sensors, computer etc...
I haven't done a lot to it yet other than a set of wind deflectors and a towbar (which I am changing to a detachable ball) But hopefully, on Saturday I am going for a remap. (I am definitely going and as long there aren't any problems on the rolling road and Chris has got the time, It will be done....)
The next thing I want is some new wheels. I'm not sure about the suspension yet as I am not keen on lowering it. (Lessons learnt from the Felicia Fun)
I have seen a front spoiler which I quite like and I have some daytime running lights to put on. Any other suggestions are welcomed. Do the sports filters make much difference? Exhaust options? I am not convinced that a sports exhaust actually makes any difference on a diesel other than make it louder as diesels don't benefit from extraction in the same way that petrol engines do. Especially not turbo ones. However, I am willing to be convinced that there is a performance benefit?

Nice, but what are those seat things all about!!!!

Filters won't make a massive difference just make the car breath that bit easier, seems to loosen the revs ever so slightly. I'd say do it tho if you're having the remap.They're a tesco mod, every little helps

Have to use the car for work. I have been looking for a decent set of seat covers but haven't found any yet that will allow the rear armrest to be used and the side airbags. I'd really like a leather interior but can't find any about for this model.

Now the remap has been done I'm looking at a few mild mods. I have ordered a pipercross filter, looking at a splitter and this weekend I'm going to cut the curves off the tailpipes so that I can at least fit a shiny tip. Anybody recommend a firm in the midland area who can do a reasonably priced stainless steel back box? I dont want a universal one so custom made is OK.

Looks nice mate
