VW Bora build not bought :D
« on: 03 September 2011, 20:04 »
Soo its been about a Year now and my Bora is still going strong from when I bought it.
Life started as 1 little 1.6 but then a 1.8t conversion happened! and boy can it move :D

It looked like this when I purchased her, A little rough but I loved her



Heres a few pics during the conversion





Then I changed the colour of the wheels and added HID's




Got bored then added :D Merc's 18" monoblocs only 8's on the front 8.5's on the rear.






Then a trip upto R-Tech hehe





Got told to lose the chavy blow off valve and buy a forge recirculating valve :D



I have replaced the crappy seats too for leathers, which im happy with I just need the door cards finished.

The mercedes alloys are for sale shortly, I have purchased another set of RS6's untill I find a decent set of LM reps or something different without adaptors.
I have loved every minute of owning this car. During the last year I have replaced the turbo, stage 1 R-Tech remap, Decat, 3inch cat back exhaust, TDI dogbone from Awsome gti, purchased a new clutch kit, Pionner DVD player, Leather seats, Merc alloys, new coil overs, top mounts, CAi and plenty more to come.

What you all think?? Not bad from a 1.6 :D
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)

Thought I've seen this car about a few times. Did you recently have it detailed or a wash or something. Saw your car at cwmbach.

Even more important I sure I saw you having words with Mr.plod the other day. Naughty naughty  :grin:
