anyone else into favorits and tuning them

not at all mate! have you ever heard of a fella called ken ireland? done that work and more to his favorit hatch and its scary fast!
i have a rally slag red one and a CD model green estate, and my mum runs a green blackline estate

quality so it aint just me then.
Do you guys think its worth me doing the bits I'm doing to my new lump or will it just go bang , ive been looking at the down pipe too where it goes from two into one and think that with a bit of cutting and welding a better flow could be gained through the merge.

good good the lump ive got came from a 50quid hatch from ebay that was in better nick than my estate it only had 50k on it too.
Any advise or ideas for other stuff to do to it would be handy.
I'm a skoda convert used to be into dubs and fords but when my stupid quick shed heap of a mk1 mondy blew up i needed a cheap car quick and after test driving the favvy i fell for it.
Plan was leave it alone and just use it but its cool and gotta be done now.
Any links for tuning ideas would be handy the plan is that i only pay for gaskets and bits the rest i will machine or fabricate at work.
It will be satin black when done too as my last slammed mk2 golf was satin black and looked cool

I've had a Favorit too. Good fun.
And if you have an day spare, get yourself to Curborough Sprint track near Lichfield, Staffordshire on the 21st October.

Big Skoda gathering on track, happens every year. Good crack and you get to see the cars getting properly driven.

ive had an early carbbed favvy that was a real hoot! and an lxi that was sh1te

please note i claimed coolness by association first!!!

you're going to have to change it back to a cat and injection every time you go to mot it if you run it right, ie with a carb and decat! unless you can keep emissions down but do you need a cat anyway? (dave tell us!)
if you're not lowering it, at least give it new dampers, they go a bit sometimes. polybushes help muchly much, and of course perspex windows if you can be arsed!
also, the wheels on it (alloys I'm sure) are great with some good rubber in original sizes on them, really good responsive handling.
obviously while porting and polishing renew everything, which really helps on these, and see if you can add a fuel pump if you go carb route. an s110r camshaft is rare like the old adage, but can be machined from an estelle one and therfore from the one you have in your engines i would presume.
lightened pistons are available from CZ and so are 1400cc liners if you want! gives it a tiny bit more poke, but from the 68bhp on a glxie (iirc) you can reach 100 easily with that lot.

I think you can run the injection ignition system still if you leave the sensors in place, and swap to carbs.
I know a lot of the Rapid RiCs switched from Bendix injection the carbs but kept the electronics for the ignition.
