Just about to order some new tyres. I'm currently on 225/40/18's on a 8.5 wide wheel. Now im tempted to go for 215/35/18's..But its my daily and i do about 50 miles a day..haha
Yay or Nay..Im tempted
Im having new tyres put on the old Bora and the wheels are looking a bit tired so time for a freshen up as im spending a bit of money on her. Theyre only my runners and i know unlimately its my decision but what do you think i should go for? Black is over done so thats a no for me i reckon. I do...
I love this car. Not normally a fan of polo's but this one is special..300+ of tyre ripping goodness. So so quick..haha! The thing is it has everything to match the power. Brakes, poly bushed you name it..There isnt one budget part on it..
All paid for himself at the age of...
Today I have mostly been stripping my car apart..I've done what's known as the joey mod on vw's. I guess joey did it first..haha! I'm not 100% on them though so would be good to get the view of the non bbs bumming crew.
Before:
in the middle:
after:
it's not a big difference tbh...
Might be old news but..i want!

"The Polo R will carry a 1.4-liter twin-turbo engine capable to deliver an impressive 190 hp"
I wonder what a remap will do? lol!
She wasnt the cleanest but my mate got some quite funky pics of his recently restored from the brink of death Mk1..
and the best -
Its amazing the work he's done on this. You could eat your dinner off the underside and its still very much a work in progress..
changes are what its about im thinking..
Firstly I've got a black grill opposed to red. I'm not keen on the debadged look. So thought this looks betterer? -
and secondly I've debadged it..
Spaced the wheels out a touch too..
Just need my new arb so i can go lower now..
I did it..
From this
to this
it needs a clean but it looks better I'm thinking. I'll update the thread tomos after a clean and proper non iPhone photos.
Both wheels arent the best but tbh im never been 100% on the currents. I bought them as they were cheeeap..
Now im on these -
But have been offered a set of RS6's. Now theyre common but they work..and tbh i quite like the fact they are very oem -
One of my friends lets me borrow her car pretty much whenever i like and tbh im starting to love it! haha!
Its a cooper s so theyre alright in a straight line but with it being a cab im guessing its that its alot heavier..The boras alot quicker. BUT it does have the LSD which i beleive is...
So many people say VW's dont really suffer with rust..well unless theyre very old.
Check my bora's front arch -
Mr VW decided he would put sponge behind the front arch which gets saturated and holds water against the wing for theyre life. Good isnt it? The lip of the arch was McFucked...
Well ive had it just under a month now. Been a busy boy! In the few weeks ive had her she's been treated a full service, 8k HID's, Revo remap, Coilovers, pressed plates and surrounds, Forge 007p DV, got a decat to go on..
Now i've just bought some Audi rims which are a bit marmite. Not my first...
As you might now I've bought myself a bora. I've done a few bots to it already. It's got a n249 bypass, filter and revo remap so should now be around 210bhp so I'm told and goes well now. Alot Better than I thought it would! The suspension was a bit tired so I fitted some coilovers. Not lowered...
Had some spare time on me hands so clayed and waxed the golf runnaround for the first time. It's come up a treat! Only got iphono photos though.
clean recaros -
next up is to sort the gay front lights and vr it. Knowin me I'll prob end up selling it though..haha!
Just picked this up as a new runaround. It's got full recaro black leather, coilovers etc
Might wind the coileys would down a touch more..haha!
Lets see how long this lasts..I need another williams in my life i think.
This car is the straightest mk2 I have driven. It litterally drives like new with a sweet gearbox, strong engine and good brakes. I got it cheap too. Sadly not staying with me but the pics dont do it justice. Its like a show room poverty mk2 lol
I just picked this up for £300 notes!
R Plate Mk3 Cabriolet. Electric everything just no tax or mot as its been parked up for a year. Got it home earlier and i reckon it'll fly through a mot! I'm in shock how tidy it is..
Time to dub her up for summer me thiinks..
Can you get independant insurance?
Basically i'm on Orange and my mate said if i get a blackberry he'll swap it for his Iphone. Only thing being if the iphone ever breaks i'm going to get a replacement blackberry..lol
If you just txt, phoned and used the net on your phone which would you go for? Samsung Jet?
I cant have a iphone as this is a replacement phone on my current contract. If i could have one i would and i cant wait until its out sadly as its a replacement handset as said..
Bet this shocks a few..:evil:

I havent had my own car for quite a while now and have managed to save up a fair wedge. I'm only looking for a cheap run around though. I was really tempted by another Accord Type R but these have caught my eye. I have a test drive arranged in one at the wkend hopefully...
