Bora Vents + Loom



Old Vents - Out




Loom In / Ray doing his thing with my alarm. The siren i had bought was a duff and stupid me left feedback and to make things worse, they key was a Chinese copy and that was a duff too and i had only gone and left feedback. Lesson learned, don't leave feedback till you KNOW its working!!
Luckily ray had some spare bits i bought off him.



We have illuminated vents!




Look so much better.

quick video of auto windows down when you unlock and hold the unlock key down, they also go up when locking. Just click the picture.

I have been waiting for some flocked dash surrounds to be done off Neil @ Carbon Motive for a while now. My friend Tia dropped them round this evening as she had been down to see him.
After taking the whole dash apart nearly i have finally got it sorted! looks a lot cleaner inside now. Hard to photograph though!





Next month the rear smoothed bumper i bought is being sprayed so will update when its painted!

Bumper came back - looked great!


Until I noticed this!!!


I've sent it back to the body shop and is being re-sprayed!


Also had a new windscreen as there was a big crack in it due to a stone chip cracking!


Also I have bought a 1.8T engine.... It's a 2002 AUM engine with a KO3s turbo. Can't wait to get it in!

On Friday 24th August night i had seen an engine on ebay which was finishing Saturday morning at 12.30am.
I set my alarm for 12am and in the last minute, i bidded on it and i won it!
It came with everything all ancilleries, k03s turbo, gearbox, gear linkage, subframe, brakes, struts, drive shafts, ecu, clocks, key, and barrel. The only thing it didnt come with is a downpipe and exhaust!

I got my mate and his van to come and help me collect everything from Widnes where it was based - and we were off!
Got it back in and couldn't have been happier, its the next step to my project and feels like im getting some where with it!

My 2 mates buzzing that we had got it back:



and me haha:






My MOT was due the day after on the 25th August, i really needed some new tyres so i bought 3 brand new tyres! Urgh!!


The car went in for the MOT and passed straight away, only advisory was the airbag light which i am getting sorted out
