I've got a similar generation Polo, 12v 64hp engine, completely stock performance wise. Just put some Polo sport seats in and there's at least a 25% cornering speed improvement just from being more planted in the seat. Great car to hustle, very forgiving, and surprisingly stable at higher speeds

[@Ben-ul7tk]

This honestly looks like so much fun and a great place to start, reminds me of those early 2000s Japanese videos of all the racing legends hustling Kei cars around Tsukuba. Great skill 👍

Das für mich Mythos Nordschleife, einfach alles aus einem Fahrzeug raus holen. So geil alter! Schau sowas lieber als jedes GT3 RS Pov Video 💪

[@adam.mai_9075]

Geile Runde, es zeigt dass man auch mit wenig PS viel spaß haben kann. Mache weiter so!

[@oskarr3018]

hahahahahaha geil, junge das video ist so alt richtig peinlich eig

[@korenzbrna]

Dost dobry👍

[@ronbergner3424]

Schön, das es noch jemanden gibt, der sein Fabia 2 HTP genauso tritt wie ich meinen 😍😂

[@oskarr3018]

Der Wagen hat für die Leistungsklasse wahnsinnige Standhaftigkeit. Es gibt leider zu wenig Menschen die sich wagen solche Fahrzeuge über den Ring zu prügeln. Die Runde hatte aber auch einige Fehler, da ist noch was rauszuholen

[@aa16v76]

Hallo bin letztens einen fox htp 54ps probe gefahren den hab ich auch so richtig getreten. Hatte vorher ne Oma gefahren. Ich war sehr überrascht das er das so überstanden hat ich hab den so richtig hart rangenommen. Nur getreten sollte den für ne bekannte testen.

[@oskarr3018]

@@aa16v76 Ja so einen habe ich auch letzte Saison auf der Nordschleife getroffen. Die Autos machen unter der Vorraussetzung dass man sie einfach vernünftig pflegt sehr viel mit und können viel Spaß bereiten. Ich werde dieses Jahr auch wieder sehr viel Zeit auf der Strecke verbringen, mit neuen Veränderungen am Fahrzeug. Außerdem lernt man hier sehr schnell sein Auto kennen.

wow thats fastest lap i ever seen

[@lexlawes1551]

I’ll be driving in two months and have a bog standard Fabia mk2 htp. What are your thoughts on their handling characteristics and are they fun to drive?

[@oskarr3018]

They are very neutral and forgiving, it also very much depends on your driving style. Some might say they are boring but its a good platform to start on. Once you get comfortable you can transfer the driving experience onto other fwd cars. If you put some good wheels/tires and suspension on, they can become very fun to drive.

[@lexlawes1551]

@@oskarr3018 Okay, thanks for the reply!

[@sambuckeridge7020]

I have the exact same car Fabia II 1.2 60hp in the same red as well! What's the "best bang for the buck" mod you'd recommend? And how much was the exhaust on eBay?

[@oskarr3018]

For mods, theres nothing you can really do powerwise except for swapping the engine (which is not worth it for this car). Id say the best thing you can do is buy some good Wheels / Tires and Height Adjustable Coilover suspension. Dont cheap out on any of these. The exhaust was around 100€. Its for the Skoda Fabia Mk1 though so we had to make some adjustments.

[@sambuckeridge7020]

Thanks for the reply! I've just got some new tires and coilovers would be the dream mod but when it's my first car at 17... I've spent all my money on the car and insurance so there isn't much left 😂🤦‍♂ an exhaust would be cool though! What sort of adjustments did you need to do? I assume different brackets?

[@oskarr3018]

@@sambuckeridge7020 Adjustments for the Exhaust included different brackets and also cutting the bumper. For tires i can recommend some Hankook, Continental, Goodyear or Michelin summer tires. Suspensionwise i dont know whats available in the UK. At this point in time, im running AP Coilovers in my Fabia.

[@dankshiz69]

What tires? Looked like you were driving on tires for die cast models.😂 Rest was awesome!

[@oskarr3018]

195/45 R16 Hankook Ventus Evo S1, the size is very weird but sadly i need to have it cause of the tachometer deviation

[@dankshiz69]

@@oskarr3018 Ok, I get that. They've looked worse. Must've been carying a little too much speed into some corners then.👍😀

[@oskarr3018]

@@dankshiz69 Yes 100%, i have since upgraded to semi slicks. Also back when i recorded this lap my driving skills werent as good as now. Need to carry as much speed as i can with this car.

[@STN-jq5jf]

How U do heel and toe on this car? I own similar Fabia and i must be deep into brakes to even touch a gas pedal

[@oskarr3018]

I find the pedal placement perfect for heel and toe. It took me a long time to get right and a lot of practice. What i do is depress the brake with the ball of the foot, then blip the gas with the other side of the foot.

[@STN-jq5jf]

@@oskarr3018 Thank you very much for your answer. Btw my fabia has bit of a deadzone on a brake pedal, does your have similar characteristic?

[@oskarr3018]

@@STN-jq5jf No my pedals dont have a deadzone. To get rid of that, i recommend you bleed your brakes, check your brake lines and your brake pads. Also getting good brake fluid can help, i use Motul/Brembo.

[@STN-jq5jf]

Thank you very much. I'll try to bleed the brakes.

[@ilytyu]

What's the lowering numbers with these h&r shocks?

[@oskarr3018]

40mm front and rear. It drives good but doesnt change the car optically.

[@aircon0]

Irgendwas an der AGA verändert?
