I owned one for 19 years from new. Loved it. Ended up using it for Autosolo’s before selling. People comment on how they don’t handle and sit too high. Then fit coilovers and slam it. I found best setup to be bilstein dampers, H&R or Jabba rear antiroll bar and silverproject front camber plates set to max.
I found your channel couple days ago and i have to admit you' ve got very similar car taste like i do. Currently i own MK1 Fabia RS Black Edition from Switzerland. Our editions are a bit different than UKs, Xenon headlights, ESP in every RS, better seats materials instead of leather alcantara for black edition and couple more bits. I got in love with this car when Jan Kopecky drove it as WRC car. Mine is tuned to 230 hp 480 NM, which is plenty for front wheel drive. Fun little car to daily. You said brakes are cons for this car. I've tested couple brands and combinations i found one, which actually works. Ate power disc + ate ceramic brake pads. It actually works better after some time when they got into higher temperate. Next year i want to pick up a STI 2005 from the UK, because it nearly impossible to find nice one in central Europe with low mileage with adequate price tag. Thank you for your content sir keep up greetings from Slovakia 👍
Maybe consider putting a1 s line seats in and great video I do have to say the brakes on the fabias r not sharp enough for how aggressive they shoot on a stage1
Love my fabia VRS longest car I owned never selling it, spent abit on it it made 359bhp before I got head ported really is a hand full on full boost 😂👍

Thank you and I’m pleased you’re enjoying the content 👍🏻
The Fabia vrs rly is a tempting proposition, but the pending ULEZ expansion means it doesn’t make financial sense for me
Good video great cars
Never had a fabia but have owned 2 mk4 Ibiza pd130s. Good fun little cars. Shame about the weather but at least the torque helps with the uphills
