Skoda Octavia vRS (2001 - 2005) 1.8T vRS Hatchback 5d Owner Review

FORGED CRANKSHAFT AND FORGED MAHLE PISTONS FROM FACTORY An absolute beauty of an engine, service it regularly and get it remapped in order to get the most out of it, mine is running approximately 225hp, and it's an extremely fun car to drive. The 205mm tyres will be struggling to maintain grip, I'd recommend 225/235's for the best grip/feel combination. Look out for any gearbox noises, my input shaft and release bearing have both recently gone AWOL, otherwise an absolute gem of a car, slaps most cars under 2L on a straight and a decent set of coilovers and ARB upgrades will help in the twisties.
