Got it reasonable cheap because it had a dent in the wing
(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/billy_vw/Boradent1.jpg)
The car was 190 miles away and i set off on my 1st train at 7am, by 12.15 i had been on 4 trains and got picked up from station.
Everthing was all pucka, Went on a bit of a test drive and All OK. By 1.20pm I had paid my money and heading home.
55 miles later and the bl00dy water pump went on me, what a nightmare :angry:
I called the RAC, which came out to confirm the waterpump had broke, Then i had to wait to be recovered home, Several hours later the car was loaded onto a recovery truck, I get back in swindon at 10.45pm.
What a long day.

This was a few weeks ago, so since then the car has been in the garage to have a new waterpump & cambelt.
While it was in there I had an induction kit & dump valve fitted.
It was then moved accross to paint shop for new wing and paint.
Once i got it home ive fitted Recaro interior from golf turbo & a set of Monty 2's
Today I have had a R-tech remap, which I am very impressed with the results
B4 was 164bhp & 174 torque
NOW 213 bhp with 241 torque
The diiffernce in performance is amazing
I will get some pics up soon of the changes on car
I have ordered a rear boot spoiler and that will be fiited in the next few weeks
-
Looks good plus a right result with the remap.
-
Cracking result with the remap :afro:

Im looking to fit 40mm lowered springs next

Will look loads better lowered.
-
Bit of show as well as the go! :wink:
Looks good mate!
-

Lowered springs on order :wink:
-
Only just seen this love the colour and the Recaros look mint :smiley: your Private plate is very cool to Billy hard to get a plate with your actual name people wonder why mines Blu but thats my name :grin: nice motor mate :wink:
-
nice bora you have there sir.
:wink:
-
I dont know how you have managed to last this long without de-badging it, soon as i got mine on the driveway they were off :grin:
Will look awesome with a good drop mate although if its 40mm spings you're fitting they dont lower it that much but they do really improve the handling! 241 lbft :shocked: pretty impressive for stage 1 map!?
-
Thanks for comments :wink:
Im gonna try the 40mm springs to see how they are & if i need to go lower ill get coil overs when more funds are available.
But tonite the turbo has got noisy and i feel this may need replacing soon :cry:
-
