Hi John,

 

Glad to see you in our forum!

 

Very nice and lovely car-magnificient.

 

Sin City-you have style my friend!

 

You can be very useful for our BG memberst with Oktavia!(for advices,and modifications)!

 

Nice Seat FMIC-what happend with your original one?

What is the price for this FMIC in GREECE? It is not so big,so I can put it to my Fabia-right?

Or can i put the original 1.8 T from car like yours in my Fabia?

 

Best regards,

Hi, Thanks for the welcome and your good words

The Original Intercooler from Octavia is a SMIC (Side Mount InterColler) and it s very small and it is installed at the right side of the car and does not get enough air :? That's why we are changing it.

 

The Seat FMIC here costs about 320 euro and an additional 300 (more or less) for istallation.

 

The size of the FMIC is 54x39x7 (length/height/width)

 

I believe since the FMIC is putted by Seat in Ibiza Cupra it would fit also and in your Fabia.

 

here you can see some more pics of it.

Thanks for the fast answer!

Nice car-nice pictures!

May be in the near future this will be my next step!

Any problems in hot summer days with the watter temperature?

 

The price is very good,may be I will buy it from Greece!

(wiht your help if you don't midn)

But this is in the near future !

 

Best regards,

I really like the steering wheel - some like a RUF Porsche style

Hi and welcome to the club Skodakias!

 

That`s some really good car you made! Impressive specs you achieved! Looking at it two things come to my mind - Fast & Furious and Gran Turismo

 

It`s a really rare to have an L&K Combi + 4x4 wheeldrive, but it certainly looks great! I can only imagine how it feels when you step on the throttle on a straight or how it goes in a corner. And I really guess you would need these extra 270km/h gauges?? Have you tested the car what top speed could it achieve? I was quite impressed by one of our co-forumers who drives a 4x4 1.8T Octavia altered by ABT and which got 193 BHP - he took some of his time to do a spin with along and boy, that car goes well. And you got 20BHP over and very impressive torque!

 

And Vitolom is right - the steering wheel sure looks great!!! I wishyou all the careless drive there is in the world - without any technical problems, just pure joy!

 

And as time goes by we may meet on a Skoda Club Bulgaria meeting!

Looking forward to it!

 

P.S. By the way except for replacing the cooler what other hardware modifications did you make on the engine?

[skodakias]
