Suj's Bora...Now Standard (Workhorse), Then Tracktoy Time :D

[suj]

Finally the unveiling of my new car,
VW Bora SE 1.9 tdi 110 (Non-PD), Dark Blue

has 140+k miles on the clock, but a full service history (nearly all VW, with the others being VW/VAG specialists )

for the bargain sum of £1100

Good Points
Auto Wipers
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Hydraulic Clutch (so much lighter then the stupidly heavy mk2 ibiza lol)
Electric Windows all round
Engine runs sweet as a bloody nut, got 56.6mpg all the way to work

Bad Bits
Scrape on the front bumper (splitter hanging slight off, will re-align it tomorrow)
Doors randomly lock sometimes (so don't leave key in car, only 1 key)
Exhaust very slightly blowing in centre pipe
AC Button doesn't work (is just the button like I need it atm anyway, something to do later)
Tractor stanced
Wheel trims (FTMFL )

Future Plans
Cruise Control fitted (should be done first week of next month)
Wheels (here first day of next month lol)
Coilies (after christmas/new years)
Get front bumper sorted/new one
Remap (not 100%, probably won't tbh, no extra charge by insurance company, but is it really worth it?)


otherwise it's mint, and a complete bargain to me, love it tbh

here's the pics for ya:

bang some of these wheels on :http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...W6DA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0p

 

[suj]

errr, RH ZW II's? no thanks

got my wheels sorted, just need to get paid to pick the damn things up, all I can say is they are MINT!!!!
cannot wait to shove them on

PS the car is mint otherwise, shocked at how good it is

 

[chris_200120vt]

euro look with a strecth

 

[jenk]

That is a bargain!

Definitely squeeze more power out if you can, nothing like a big surge of soot!

 

[suj]

is that a question or a request?
anyway I know what I got planned for her, just wait until I have got bits all together


thanks luke, yep bargain
thinking about it, but wanna get a 130 Bora in about 6months, so in 2 minds

 

[M1KEH]

Nice car , I think you should just get some chrome spinner trims. Don't get a 130 bora suj, chip for ~£200 will yield you about 140ish hp and be much cheaper.

 

[suj]

thanks mike,
no cos I want a lower miler, was either a 130pd or 150pd

yeah I know I can get all the bits, but it comes with better standard parts

I'll have it for £500 in 6 months yeah .

 

[suj]

depends on how good she is in the time (how did you guess right how long I wanted to keep her for? lol)

i'd get more, he let it go too cheap

anyway, time to get onto tidsport site lol (any other sites mike for vag diesels I should know of?)

 

[Finan]

[abhardwaj1990]

You stole my idea!!!!

I would have bitten the sellers hand off for that price, still looking

can't wait to see what you do with it though

thanks man

Had a feeling you'd get one of these. I may have found myself one as well

 

[suj]

get it man, will show ya inside info'ings on the wheels I am getting hhaahah

 

[Mythbuster]

I don't like it... It's not a Seat...

jk, very nice car! Bet that if I ever have to get rid of the Ibiza my next car won't get even close to that, way too expensive for me to drive those in the Netherlands... Then again, I will not get rid of the Ibiza so nothing to worry about lol. Personally I think the blue isn't the best color but for £1100 you can't complain eh?

Also, if for some reason you can't get the wheels fitted or something... Lower it to the ground with hubcaps on... There's a black Passat mk5(or 5.5?) parked near my school, lowered all the way to the ground with airride(litterally sitting on it's belly, lower than your Ibiza)...

It has hubcaps on during winter and except for airride it's totally stock. IMO it looks very very cool. During summer it has Audi Nuvolari S wheels I believe... but tbh it looks better with the hubcaps than with the Audi alloys...

BTW: How's my new sig?...

 

[suj]

haha thanks, expensive? its diesel, does like 1billion miles to a gallon lol

thanks, cannot afford air-ride, so will be on coilies, not all the way down though, needs to be run daily
will look awesome hopefully

sig looks good mate

 

[Mythbuster]

Yeah but it's also very very heavy compared to what I have now... And in the Netherlands we have to pay road tax, depending on how much the car weighs... For Ibiza that's 19 pounds a month, but for a Bora it would be near 45..., strangly enough., probably even more because it's a diesel.. And then insurrance would be at least 50pounds for a Bora, 1.9 so probably even more..., and 10 for the Ibiza And I got the Ibiza on my dads name now... On my own name it would be 50 per month, probably over a 100 for a Bora......

I know airride wasn't a plan but I mean, I think it can look pretty good with just coilies and hubcaps

@Suj below: Yeah.. That's about what i reckoned In Holland, being a student I never would be able to afford that, even without buying petrol

 

[suj]

tbh it is quite light for what it is, 1250kg, which shocked me

but don't know about laws/restrictions in holland
