Confused newbie
 

Hello all,

First post so pls be gentle. I have a GJ02*** Impreza WRX from new and the only mods are replacing the bug eyes with different headlights.

Apart from trim rattles I am very happy with my car at least until today when I was joining the A2. I was second in line on the slip road and lights changed, went down slip road being held up by skoda octavia 1.6. We were doing about 40 when we joined the dual carrigeway and I pulled out and put my foot down but the skoda pulled away from me. WTF? :mad: The skoda was not RS and i dont think even rs should have been that fast and looked on normal high suspension.

I overtook eventually but only in 3 figs.

Also warranty nearly up and thinking of chipping any ideas?

Might have been a big shot of nos m8,other than that shame on you tut tut
On the chipping note do a search on here for tek 3,or go down the ppp route or TSL do the 333 all of which are top jobs m8 :)

know what u mean - may be should have kept quiet? ;)

..did you leave the handbrake on ?? :p

LOL

Happens to the best of us bud (just not normally by a scoda) lol
BTW welcome to scoobynet m8 :)

NO :p and I was in the power band as well!

Thanks for the welcome p@ul

Them skodas give you a fright dont they. You need to buy a JDM scoob.;) Welcome by the way.

How long would his engne live if he kept doing that?

Has anyone driven one of the new skodas?


and yes i know i need to spend more money on a faster scoob lol

Hi where in the country are you based?

Quite often, not all is what it seems with the Skodas....check out:

Just south of canterbury in kent.

5th gear last night a Skoda Favia diesel beat a mini coopper round the Anglesea Circuit by just over half a sec, mind you it was the vRS.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks back in my 01 WRX. Pick up my new Sti Uk tomorrow - hope I see that Skoda again in a couple of weeks...........

:D aparently there is a guy called taviars who has a rs with a 1.4 badge on it!

And now has a silver one, not RS, with an SDI badge on it :D

Damned sneaky these Skoda drivers :D

so do you know anyone from your board who lives in canterbury?
