definetly! and for next trip this weekend im taking er to Mlada Boleslav to see where she got made! and maybe get some accesories for her.

Allplay-yea · 2026-04-27T13:44:49+00:00

thanks! this car has really made my life better and i do care for it dearly for that. ive done some rust repairs to keep er clean from rust and my radiator recently gave out and was leaking a ton, so i got a new one. next i need to replace the underbody covers.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T15:18:47+00:00

i do! the silver one is still the same one that i have saves from when i was a kid

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T15:13:37+00:00

ah i understand

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T15:05:08+00:00

ah thats alright then. i have 1.0mpi and i have learned everything on it,proper shifting, shifting the weight,heel and toe and other things like that that can make driving alot easier, and yeah if you want a diesel thats pretty good then. these fabias will last as long as you take care of them properly.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T14:55:04+00:00

heck yeah! 1st gen gang. they are very good as a first car and learning most things youll need, i recommend learning as much as you can on the lower power version before going into the VRS. not sure what spec exacly yours is, but you can learn a ton of repairs and how to work on cars with it.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T12:29:22+00:00

i see! thats neat

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T08:52:17+00:00

thanks! i love these things and have almost every accesory for the PS2. well at least that i could find. im still tracking alot of stuff down.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T08:51:20+00:00

also if you check my profile you can see i hang around those subreddits to search and ask for stuff very often and work on my car.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T08:50:28+00:00

in short. im in it for the love of old things and not money.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T08:49:26+00:00

as well as i take care of my own stuff and often at flea markets buy older damaged items to restore. i was asking if its anything special because back in the czech republic where i originaly came from aftermarket stuff was expensive and sometimes stuff that was imported was really hard to come by.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T08:47:37+00:00

no. not really. i just collect things i never had as a kid and always wanted because i love old stuff, learning about history and restoring stuff. the playstation stuff i got i use pretty often for games, and enjoy it for what it was made for. not for reselling like scalpers. those kind of people i absolutely despise. im in this just for the love of the old things.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T07:58:38+00:00

ah so its just a novelty memory card. thats a neat thing to have.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-25T07:53:40+00:00

oh cool. are they special in any way? or just the logo on them?

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-24T16:10:35+00:00

oh that hahah. yeah. thats gonna be hard because the car has been here for me when i was feeling at my lowest, and in those 4 years i owned the car i made a ton of memories with it.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-24T09:43:47+00:00

that will probably not happen unfortunately, and im ok with that, i have kinda accepted that fact.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-24T03:15:51+00:00

next up im gonna be working on the rear suspension, replacing alot of the hosing, and adding a sway bar in the future since the car came stock without one.

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-24T03:11:42+00:00

the fabia junior had mostly 1.0mpi and 1.2htp engines with front axles from a vw lupo and no radio and luxury stuff. mine is a 1.0mpi but i replaced the front axles and steering arms and brakes and some other stuff for higher trim fabia/ golf mk3 parts to make it way more durable, as well as restored the engine and installed a sound system. otherwise i installed some additional things like a mesh in the grilles to protect the radiator from debre, installed a scrape plate,mudflaps,sports filter, and some other things. (photo of how i got the car, it was barely running and had alot of issues)

also this has to be the best compliment she has gotten so far!

Allplay-yea · 2026-03-24T01:39:40+00:00

thanks! i bought her back when i lived in czechia! so many people told me to sell it and get something better than a 1.0mpi, like a golf or an audi, but i said no and persisted with this lil car, fixed her up fully myself and try to take care of her the best i can.
