My Bora is looking pretty RUF these days...

No I like driving low. The look you get from people of a certain vintage as you scrape down the road. You'd have thought I'd just curled one out on their grannies head.
That would be me...
Hate the broken suspension look but yes I'm an OAP. Least you're enjoying it!
and me!

Exactly, I know in years to come I will look back and think WHAT A t**t. But I know for a fact there are people on here who used to think they were the dogs b****cks if they had a bodykit and 18" Wolfrace wheels. At least I'm enjoying it. And it's nice to have a daily oil burner that puts a smile on my face.
So true.

I would have sealed it... if it was a set of £200 coilovers. Not £1700 worth of suspension. Meh, lesson learnt I guess! May just paint them a silly colour.
BTW that was taken a while back on a day where I was sealing a chassis notch, hence why that is looking bare.

Looks great. I couldn't be bothered with driving it like that but it looks awesome, fair play.
Seeing as I've finished uni and all that I'm looking to be a bit more sensible and have been tempted by a 1.9 TDi Bora 130...apparently they're the pick of the bunch in terms of power, tuning potential and most importantly reliability? Seems a bit of a minefield to be honest.

So by your logic you wouldn't wax a £200k Ferrari but would a £6k Kia
By that I meant, I know how s**t the quality of the metal and protection is on cheap coilovers. Therefore I'd spray the s**t out of it, usually with chain wax! (Works a treat).

Correctamundo! That's why I went for it, also not that expensive to insure compared to the 150.
I went for the GT TDI 130 PD Golf, equally as fun!
Had it Stage 1 Revo mapped (170bhp and 280 lb/ft!!!!!!) and gone for the 312mm brake conversion from the Mk1 Audi TT. With those and the Bora sport 16"s, my insurance is £460.....she bleeping shifts now too.
Even on the standard 130 bhp and 228 lb/ft they are surprisingly rapid once you get going, corners are a problem after having the Cup though. Oh and still does 55+mpg.......
:approve:
So does my mate's PD130, which is running some huge ass turbo. Before the new turbo it was 240bhp and about 400lbft or something stupid, f**k knows what it's making now. Enough to strip gearboxes and smash engine mounts anyway.

On the PD130's most people swap to a PD160 TB and turbo. FMIC, DPF delete, EGR valve delete, mufflerectomy. Can see some NICE gains then.

A lad local to me has a PD150 thats had all kinds of power s**t done to it. Tried a powerflex dogbone mount bush and it just turned it to dust! LOL
BTW if anyone offers the right money I could be tempted to part with it, just I don't really need it anymore. But I love it so you'll have to make a decent offerrrrrrrrr <3

Launching at Santa Pod is what kills them for my mate, well, it usually finishes them off after a few 1000 miles.

Me too! But while I'm earning decent money and work so close to home, why not have something a bit more fun to drive? That's my Man Maths anyway hah.
