Huw Pugh Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 For the last few years I've been running a Fabia Vrs as a daily. I've just bitten the bullet though and bought myself a replacement. I've wanted one for a while but couldn't justify one. I was initially after a red one but El found one with an unusual colour. Its known as Deep Burgundy and most of the time it looks black but it has a red and gold metallic to it. I haven't taken any pictures yet so here's a couple from the sale ad along with a few I've pinched from another thread showing the metalic.and the metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthmvm Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Paint looks amazing! But over kill for a daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Very nice, quality piece of engineering too.Insurance a bit of a killer I hear though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Paint looks amazing! But over kill for a daily? How? It's a honda with a 2l engine? Amazing car. In my list of thing I want to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Paint looks amazing! But over kill for a daily? Cheers. How so? Everything is broadly twice as much as the fabia but I'm not sure I'd call it overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Any plans for it? I heard the hks exhaust sounds amazing on it. Edited February 28, 2014 by Dblock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Any plans for it? I heard the hks exhaust sounds amazing on it. I don't want to go nuts as its my daily so there won't be any silly lows or anything. There's a mod you can do to the stock exhaust that gives it a better note without being too loud so I'll be tempted with that. First up it'll be a good detail. I also want a hard top but they're not cheap so that'll put a stop to anything else this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese modding is all about sound and power I've heard getting the wheels aligned to a different spec can make it less understeery but more snappy.

Huw Pugh Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Took the S out for a blast on the weekend with my mate in his caddy. One of the perks of being in Wales is the great roads...A couple of the colour in the sun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Vtec-yoI do love a nicely kept S2000. Very luxurious cars with serious power. Fastest 4 cylinder N/A car on the road up until very recently were they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Unlikely.I can't think of anything with a higher bhp/litre though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah it was the highest bhp/litre until the 458 knocked it off a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
