So I dropped my RS4 in for its annual service and MOT at Tuningwerkes in Croydon and had obligatory 30-45min convo with the owner Reuben about all things car related.He mentioned a skoda yeti 4WD that had a K04 turbo conversion and various handling mods, but kept stock looking...Had to go home and google it...
I think this is the one! Imagine being the GTR driver at 1:30ish with a skoda yeti hunting you down on track!
Bonkers- love it

Yeah that K04 Yeti is a little bit famous. He does track days and RWYB. It's a great sleeper, I bet he's got a few M3 scalps. There's a build thread over on the Skoda forums, it's an interesting read, apparently the chassis has been very tuneable.

It's only fast because it has an AUDI fbsw. That in itself adds about 200bhp.

I went to ADI this year in convoy with a trade stand who took the majority of their gear down in a 2004 onwards shape VW Caddy van that was running the current Golf R engine, gearbox, 4wd system and brakes

Is that the same Yeti that has 510bhp running a modified TT-RS engine?

Certainly sounded like a five pot to me (not a four)

They made a typo in the first sentence

''Most buyers are in their 50s, sometimes even retired''. Due to bum_bum having one, I assume they meant - ''Most buyers are in their 50s, sometimes even retarded''

What do you reckon the cost of doing a conversion like that would be? The mega-sleeper thing appeals to me.

I'd say you've got to be looking close to £10k? I think it'd be worth it just to see the faces of the victims.
