For sale is my 337 bhp / 315 lbft silver Skoda Octavia vRS. The car was first registered in September 2002, has a 52 plate, and I'm the 2nd owner. It has done just over 81,000 miles and has just been serviced (80K service and front brake discs replaced), so it won't need to see another garage until next year (or 10K miles). It's taxed and MOT'd until the end of February 2008.
Being a (former staff) member on BRISKODA.net, I bought the car from a friend, in November 2006, who spend thousands of pounds meticulously planning and implementing the upgrades before a change of direction in life took his interest away from modified cars. As I owned an Octavia vRS before this one, it was a no brainer for me when I learned that he was planning to sell it. 337 bhp on tap with 40 mpg to boot! Which other car would give you that?

As you can imagine, the list of modifications is extensive, but all were done with an upgrade path in mind, so if you feel adventurous you can take this beauty even further:
* Jabbasport IHI VF34 turbo conversion
* Jabbasport CAI
* Jabbasport FMIC
* Jabbasport exhaust manifold
* Jabbasport boost controller to vary the performance from 277 bhp (0.7 bar) to 337 bhp (1.2 bar)
* 3" Blueflame down pipe and 100cel sports cat
* Jetex cat back exhaust
* Audi S3 MAF
* Audi S3 ASR
* Bailey DV30 diverter valve
* KW v3 suspension
* Mintex brake discs
* Ferodo DS2500 brake pads
* Matt black OEM alloys
* Neuspeed rear anti-roll bar
* Audi S3 upper strut brace
* Audi S3 lower strut brace
* Prospeed Motorsport WRC spoiler
* Sachs clutch
* Cruise control
* VW MFD G satellite navigation + AV AUX input
* Parrot CK3000 Evolution bluetooth handsfree kit
* Some cosmetic mods (grills, bonnet lifters, splitters)
It's been serviced according to the service schedule at the Skoda garage, except for the time when the IHI was installed, then Jabbasport did the honours:
09/09/2002 - First registration
16/10/2003 - 20K variable service (20,788 miles)
02/12/2004 - 40K variable service (38,381 miles)
05/11/2005 - 50K fixed service + IHI conversion (49,228 miles)
20/01/2007 - 60K fixed service + brake fluid + cambelt (60,250 miles)
09/06/2007 - 70K fixed service (70,937 miles)
06/10/2007 - 80K fixed service (80,647 miles)
Now for the bad bits.
Stone chips. Any car exposed to Britain's finest motorways suffers from them, and mine is no exception. Fortunately, the silver colour hides them reasonably well. It also has some accident damage on the O/S wing when I tried to reverse out of my garage (see picture), and some damage to the sills where a garage tried to jack the car up on them. I was quoted œ225 to have the damage resprayed, but time and events have taken over and so it never got done. There is also a quirk with the cruise control, in that when you are going up (steepish) hill, the ECU ups the boost so much (as it tries to maintain constant speed) that it sometimes throws the car into limp mode. It also has a lumpy cold start, but settles in a nice idle within a minute. Jabbasport are still looking at a modified map to resolve these issues, so I will pass on the details.
Included with the car is an old laptop and a VAG-COM cable to clear any faults should they occur.
There are loads more pictures available on my website. I'm in Aylesbury, Bucks. I'm looking for £7500.
