New Thread...New Sledge

[Nafoff]

So i have the clio, which is fast turning into something that cannot be used daily, it has slowly gone this way and i want to take it further. I think it could still be used easily as a daily but the opportunity came up so i took it.

I will very shortly be the owner of an S reg, VW Passat 1.8 petrol in forest green, perfect for a daily, comfy, large and very different from the clio, tbh i can't wait at all...of course with the job that i am in and the company that i keep in the office means the car won't be staying standard for that long i doubt.

how about some inspirational pics to influence me....passat's, bora's a4's etc

 

[Daniel]

I think I have just bought a Bora for the wife as a daily. We can be VW bum buddies...

 

[The Boosh!]

Wasn't you tempted by a derv mate? Surely the 1.8 will be as bad on fuel as your powered by fairy dust clio?

 

[Nafoff]

nah it will be totally different, plus the price was right

1.8 NA VW engines will do 38mpg +. Not worth worrying about tbh.

 

[Bux]

Go Euro

Didn't know that! I thought they would easily be in the 20's! :boring:

bora's etc

got this about a month ago, was so comfy until I fitted coilovers

 

[Daniel]

Ben did you buy those wheels new? Are they 17 or 18?

 

[D2501]

Can't stand the euro look, avoid like the plague.
That Bora is sexy I must say!

 

[Daniel]

Ben did you buy those wheels new? Are they 17 or 18?

And how bad is the ride on coilovers? Really bad??

 

[Ben.]

Ben did you buy those wheels new? Are they 17 or 18?

They're 18's - yeah I bought them from someone local, tyres are expensive mind!

Um the coilovers are pretty harsh, they are ok when driving round town but when your doing 60+ they get really crashy...its worth it though as they are pretty damn high as standard

You had much interest in the bora youve got for sale?

 

[Daniel]

Are they cheap coilovers?

I want coilovers but its going to be the wifes car so I can't have crashy!

 

[Ben.]

Yeah theyre Jamex so pretty cheap ones, bought and fitted in yeovil for about £350

They are pretty crashy, springs are meant to be better for comfort i think

It still handles like a boat though, taking it to the ring in July so they could be interesting! lol

 

[Daniel]

I'm thinking keep the original wheel/tyre combo for a bit of comfort with their bouncy sidewalls, and coilovers for a bit of a drop.

hmmmmm.

Cheers for your input dude.

 

[Jason_E]

Slammed or gtfo.

I want a Bora ffs, they are such nice cars! Loved my dad's years ago. Wouldn't mind one at all!

I dont see the point in lowering big cruiser barges tbh.

[BIFCAIDS]

use to speak to the bloke who owned the blue pass on porka rims

 

[Magic Johnson]

That Bora looks stupid.

 

[R20 CWH]

had the 2.5 v6 tdi. Great on mway, cruised around all day without ease. Great place to be. A tad boring at times and handling was mediocre at best.

Cant be argued for touring around in, but I did 20k in one in 6months and eventually the mundaneness was too much so I sold it.

Build quality was great though

 

[S23]

That grey Passat is my mates. Had the TH lines on it, then had some RH's, and now has some Merc Alpards

With another Passat on AMG's:

And my other mates Bora...

With the Passat and another mate in the Golf.

So yea...don't keep it standard mate! They have soooooo much potential

 

[Christopher]

^ That Passat looks sweet

 

[_Tom]

Passats are cool. I didnt use to like them but ive seen some loooovely ones at the dub events.

 

[Jason_E]

Can't wait 'till I get a bora! NOM.

 

[alex-avfc]

WANT.

That Bora looks stupid.

Glad I'm not the only one in thinking that!

There was a silver passat on DW with polished Porsche 928 wheels, looked stunning. That could be a good way to go?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

you both say that but its awesome to look at from other angles

 

[Magic Johnson]

Pics of other angles? I really can't see how that looks good from any angle, total overkill.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

ill have a mooch its Dave Kennedy's old motor, he works for PVW

 

[Winston]

Air Ride is a must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
