1994 Skoda Rapid

[Czechered Flag]

My recently purchased 1994 Rapid.







I originally bought this car in 2000 when it had only covered 7400 kms.

It was a personal import by its 1st owner in 1994 and was brand new, hence the 1994 registration.

The car is currently fitted with a tuned 135 (1289cc) engine, which supposedly has an AutoSprint cam, reworked cylinder head, Weber Carb and an Ashley exhaust.

Plans at present are to tidy the bodywork and a full respray in the original colour (Regal Red), slight lowering, a set of alloy wheels, and replace the interior.

now with clear front and side lenses




and half red half white rear lenses

[hairnet]

into the weeds with that ;D

[Czechered Flag]

now with rear wheels fitted




fronts will be fitted when i get hubs adapted.

Hopefully a set of springs going on later in week

[DarrenW]

Looking good! Are the mirrors standard? Seems odd having them chrome when the rest of the car has black detailing!

[Czechered Flag]

no those mirrors are not standard, will have a set of standard mirrors on shortly.

Considering fitting the 15" minilights off my other Rapid, as i have a set of 15" Centrelines coming that i intend fitting to that 1.


fitting these wheels shortly

[Czechered Flag]

15" minilights now fitted




just need to get the front end lowered now, thinking of leaving the rear as it is

[rmad]

Massive drop, both ends....it's the only way. ;D

[Czechered Flag]

now with bodykit fitted





Think the green actually works quite well with the Regal Red.

Just waiting for the rear spoiler to arrive

[skoda_norman]

what rear spoiler?

[Mr K]

the green with the white wheels looks like the current works rally car colour scheme - maybe you should paint the rest of the car to suit!
i agree with rmad, slam it both ends.

[rmad]

Is that a bodykit I see?

[Czechered Flag]

i don't think it will be staying on there, just thought i would see what it looked like, i may put it on the other Rapid, or may leave both as standard, bit undecided yet.

[Revolution 9]

It's looking pretty nice I'd say!

I reckon the bodykit'll look alright once everything's the same colour, what sort of size and shape is the spoiler? Are we talking small and subtle or some big touring car job? ;D

[Czechered Flag]

got my eye on this spoiler, if its available at the right price

[Czechered Flag]

following the accident damage the car sustained a couple of months ago, i now have a good 2nd hand rear wing (new rear wings virtually unavailable). Repair work is due to commence over the winter months.

damaged rear wing



replacement 2nd hand wing

[Mr K]

woah what heppends? did you crash your cars into each other?
also, is that wing on the previous page l angled back...? to provide 'up force?'?
