My mate's insane Skoda Octavia. 500 HP! *** Now with a few pictures***

Apparently the torque steer is manageable (not too bad). The biggest problem is wheelspin when changing gears. The guy doing most of the work is going to apply something called boost by gear which should tame the wheelspin a bit. Dorian says the acceleration in 4th gear is terrifying.

Thanks Dazz, Wow truly impressed. Im passing this on to a Czech mate who is well into Skoda in Oz/. ![RHthumbsup :goodjob2:](https://i30ownersclub.com/Smileys/default/thumbgoodjobRh.gif)
Does he play Chess?
![Rofl :rofl:](https://i30ownersclub.com/Smileys/default/rolf.gif) but He's old school, its Russian Roulette

He might have to look into a smart LSD setup like what the new N is using, or add a rear drive line AWD setup. I had a custom 5sp LSD box made for the mini as she wouldn't even get of the mark with single wheel drive after the power increase, the down side of that was if you put the boot into it on a bend both wheels would spin and you'd skate straight off the road ![Driving :Drive:](https://i30ownersclub.com/Smileys/default/drive.gif)
Yes he's considering something like that.

I forgot to mention last Tuesday I was privileged to be taken for a ride in what must be the most powerful Skoda Octavia in Tasmania (if not Australia) Scary stuff! Dorian was careful not to scare me too much or lose his license but acceleration in each gear was astonishing and the 6 pot racing brakes are just as impressive. I've encouraged him to take it to the next drag meet down here to get acceleration and standing quarter times. Subject to minimising wheel spin we suspect well under 5 second 0-100 kms and under 11 second standing quarter..

Be damn impressive if he broke 11 seconds without LSD ![Driving :Drive:](https://i30ownersclub.com/Smileys/default/drive.gif)

Apparently this was installed prior to the latest mods. .. ![](https://preview.ibb.co/nCqvVd/09_C9_F3_DB_C606_4_AA0_AAB0_1_FE5074854_A0.jpg)

Looks Great. I would call this a total sleeper. The vents and pipes will turn heads, but nobody would expect a Skoda to be churning that much power. Awesome! ![icon_evil :evil:](https://i30ownersclub.com/Smileys/default/evil.gif)
