I call it a juicing station, and WOT!?

How much did the rimmage set you back?

 

[suj]

yes araz, about a month, mostly to get paid end of month to get coilies and tyres (they cost ALOT!!!!!!!)

hahaha juicing station? lol
£350, go for atleast double normally

 

[araz]

aha, i guess they cost
but at the end i think it would be worth

 

[ather`s]

oh yes, there are definately worth every penny!! going to look brilliant when he gets them on! dont worry suj, i wont tell a sole!!!!!

Caught myself shopping for Bora's now. Can only think of this thread as inspiration!

Think a Tolly 130 would just edge one still.

yeah, spent more on my BBS RM's (both sets) but I really like these, not seen much, but not rare neither

shhh you
yeah will look awesome, time to try and find cheap tyres lmao

haahah, you, arun, and a few friends now all want a bora, they are awesome, practicality, without being absolutely massive, boot big enough to fit 4 x BBS RM's with tyres on, and a halfords professional toolkit and loads of other bits!
gets 40-50mpg most times around town (more constant speeds)
and 60mpg on motorway

and if you get a newer one, tax is dirt cheap (went down 2000 IIRC)

tbh I never liked the tolly's looks, nor the size (it is bigger than the bora, its more "passat" sized)


EDIT: I stand corrected, the Bora is actually wider than the tolly, tolly is longer, but same height, tolly slightly heavier

got the wheels to powdercoaters, feeling all good

drive out, about a mile, then BOOM....pulling to the left

"wtf was that?"

passenger front spring snapped

don't wanna get it done, as its gonna cost towards my coilies fund, but need it done, still drives fine, minus the left lean lol

 

[abhardwaj1990]

I've told you many times, keep the fat women in the back! not in the passenger side!

Update

Had a broken spring, and needed a service
I got a set of standard springs/shocks for pennies, and got all the service parts a while back
so all got done today
she was real good in snow, minus getting stuck right by my house, went home, got a shovel, and now she's back on the drive


wheels went powdercoaters, 2 were mint, 2 were not, so made him redo them (that was on friday) he said will be ready tuesday.
got a call when I was driving to the garage they were ready, and are now mint
time to save for all the bits

 

[ather`s]

you find any tyres yet suj?

 

[suj]

nope, funds run dry this month phil, and next month won't be great neither lol, so looking more and more like feb when they are all on, and tbh with weather like this, i'm happy to wait
