Spotted 3 Octavia's NSW and QLD

[Racing Blue 147]

Well!!! This is the first post on this Web Site - Spotted

I thought these cars were exclusive, only purchased by decerning inthusiasts. Well I've had my Blue RS with DSG since Easter 2011 and I've spotted 3 so far.

1 at Sawtel NSW Easter week end - White Octavia
1 at Samford Rd Keperra Brisbane Qld Yellow 2010 Octavia RS Liftback - she didn't wave back!
1 at Gympie Rd Kedron Brisbane Qld 21/05/11 - Silver Octavia 2010 RS Station Wagon - I parked next to it in the parking lot. Didn't see the owner.

I have a Racing Blue 2010 Octavia RS Liftback Mitchelton Brizvegas.
Great Car. A Sleeper - nobody knows what lurks beneath

Hi mate, welcome to the forum!

Yep, I've spotted a few in Sydney as well... great cars, definately a sleeper that not many know how good they are...

Stock standard, or have you got the modifying bug?

Hi jnrdavo
This one will remain stock. It's my daily drive. I cant think of any mods I'd like to do except sat nav and that would be way too expensive. Seems like a pretty good car all round!!!

I plan on giving it a real drive in the hills behind Brisbane and the Gold Coast ie Mt Glorius, Mt Nebo, Mt Mee etc. I'll see if all the stories are true. I like to take to a track day at Lakeside and QR. But not just yet.

I'm a member of the MX-5 Club with 2 modified cars
Red '95 1800 cc - Cold Air, Extractors, Bilsteins, sways, strut brace, roll bar, 225 x 45 x 17 etc
Blue '90 1600 cc - Garret T28 Turbo, Avo Manifold, MicroTech ECU 200HP ATW.
White Line Sways, strut brace, engine brace, roll bar, BC Coil Overs, Enkii 225 x 45 x 17, custom paint, full body kit, full interior upgrade to NB 2005 (next model), Engine has all forget internals - full race spec except for the slightly worked cams.

So I'm happy to leave the Skoda alone. At least for a while. What sort of Mods are you thinking about???

[jnrdavo]

with cars modded that much, it's only time before the Skoda bites the bullet!!

Chipping is normally the first and best bet, best bang for buck (especially as the engine is almost the same as the audi/vw)...

Check out the guys at hp.net.au to help you with Sat Nav, I'm not sure, but they may be able to retro fit a factory unit for you if you are interested :-)

Seeing a lot more Skoda's on the road, especially the RS models - averaging at least 3 - 4 a day.
Parked next to a red Octavia FSI with some interesting plates and a very dark tint in the Valley last last week.

Nice mate!

We've been looking at getting a Skoda RS.... How are you enjoying the new car? Love the colour!

[BecFabia]

I LOVE this car... It is so nice to drive & it is just that little bit different from all the ford focus & fiestas that are around.. it certainly does turn heads!!!
