My dads new toy - Škoda 130RS

[Spitfire]

dont you think youre gonna blame me that its just a replica . No it aint. the original 130RS were just redone 110R (just like this one) so it IS 130RS, just not made by Škoda in 1970s but by one of its former employee 30 years later (that means now :thumpup: ) the engine is swapped from original 1.1l to a newer 1.3 (skoda favorit version) but without any mods to keep the gas consumation in acceptable ranges (racecars had two webber carbs and 115-130HP but consumed arround 50l/100km which is quite a problem when having a 40 liter tank). believe it or not, 80HP + 750kg = FUN the tranmission was also changed, the original 4spd was replaced with a 5spd from skoda 136L Rapid (the Favorit model was a FF so we couldnt use its tranny) I should get a full CD with pictures from the building process so Ill update it as soon as I get

Sweet car :thumb:
Skodas have allways had a bad rep in the UK but they have a kind of cult following these days :thumpup:

yeah Ive heard that but now it turned 180 degrees, I last months issue of CAR mag there was a test of cars based on the golf platform (Octavia Combi, A3, Golf and Seat) and Skoda won I think than right now theyre making some of the best cars from the VW group, combining VW quality and lower prices seems to turn to succes

it may be a replica but it still clean and sweet

I AINT A REPLICA



yeah, I was surprised how clean was the whole thing. And yes, it is a fun ride (Im tellin you, 750kg and 80HP in the rear can drift like a 200HP FR )

How many countries do you think are between me and Camaro Joe or Tremek? So, that make you my nearest neighbour.

Have you hear of car named FIĆA? Me and my brother boosted it a little (don't laugh please) we took it's 650cc engine and put 1300cc engine from Opel Kadett. That was a laugh . (about 6 years ago)

Yup, that's the one! But with some "serious" upgrades:

- 70HP engine
- bigger and wider tyres
- no rooftop (cabrio) and I mean NO ROOF at all
- a little hole under gas pedal so if it is raining you don't feel like in pool
- this is nice: home made exhaust (sounded really good, like a truck)
- 150km/h in 6:00 AM so every neighbour would get up early (for job of course )


It was a car to

Oh and I forgot: we even polished the heads!

[Spitfire]

same with us about the exhaust
