Title: B111Y VW - Bora 1.8T Sport

Got it reasonable cheap because it had a dent in the wing

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.

Post by: billy_vw on 26 March 2011, 18:09: 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

Post by: dubsport on 03 May 2011, 12:26: 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!?

Post by: billy_vw on 04 May 2011, 00:10: 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:
