Just for reference car is not lower now than when with the lowering springs, just handles better.
Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps
- Thread starter Micloi
- Start date
Came across a Seat Cupra R, the fast one at Pod other weekend, it was running high 10s passes.#
Spoke with the owner, he has done similar to you, running 560PS, he also put the AWD rear-end in the car from the Golf R / S3 to make it AWD and was running it on Michelin Cup 2's, seriously quick bit of kit that looked completely stock, even under the bonnet looked pretty much factory.
Yes, there are two of those with the 4x4 driveline. I know one of them very well, I helped him on many of his decisions for the upgrade.
Those are the winter wheels, cheapest set I could get without worrying if they get scratched/damaged in bad weather.
Took it for the suspension work when it was still cold
Now the summer ones are on again.Not my voice and edited by the videographer, think he was going for Darth style
All good fun 
Unfortunately a house extension and one too many cars on the driveway bring an end to the sleeper story. Hope it goes to a good home...

A large loan needed for the house extension so it was either this or the Abarth 595 and 500x. Tbh my wife decided for me at the end... I will leave it at that.
Ouch. I imagine the car is going to be with that dealer for some time
Commission basis unfortunately. We start building next year so took it there in advance...
I may have already done that a few months ago... Thus the "too many cars" comment and the "strong suggestion" by the OH to sell Darth.
Everyone meet "Adarth" ... You will get to meet him in person on the 15th of September.

Plenty of interest and questions but nothing firm. Only been a couple of days. Hopefully I will find the right buyer that will appreciate and build on Darth.
Can't help but feel that blurring your face was a bit pointless given how unique the car is, and your accent, and he even used your name.
Still rather not have my face online like that
He is a genuinely nice person. He was very careful and respectful to both myself and my car. He even told me that he does not need to drive it, only if I want him to.
I'm glad to hear you say that as I am a fan of his channel.
Hopefully this extra exposure will help sell the car too
Fingers crossed as Gru/Borat could really use the money
It was a bit... odd!
Also missed the bit about it having a new engine
I am a bit... odd
On the other hand I assure you that I know dozens of people that don't know what car I drive (both friends and colleagues) but would recognise my face immediately and notify everyone they and I know.
I also missed the new engine bit haha
So what hapened to the old one? Dead or just aa case of easier to forge a new one and swap?
Wanted a quick swap so forged the new one and when ready I just swapped them and sold the original. Saved me from having the car off the road for a month.
Indeed, really nice guy.
