The Bora.

5x100 with spacers

 

[BIFCAIDS]

When you coming up north

 

[Jason_E]

Needs more lows at the back

P.S, dirty tires ftl.

P.P.S No idea son! Engine raisers needed first or I may not make it Also my insurance renewal is due April, whether I can afford it is another question.

 

[silentsnake]

Love it

 

[_Tom]

Looking good mate. What profile are your tyres and width of your rims? Im not sure what to do at the moment. I want prob another 15-20mm but im at the bottom of my coilovers.

Mine are 8.5's on 215/40/18's and as you can see it just looks too high at the front -

Although its better with passengers in. Ive just ordered a R32 arb too.

 

[Jason_E]

TBH tom yours is sitting perfectly, 19's am I right?

 

[_Tom]

Nope 18's. I still think my front needs a touch more..haha! It's still drivable though.

 

[Ray Gin]

I need more lows on the rear too Im hoping the 19s will fit the tiny tiny gap just right.

Looks good in the recent pics

EDIT; get rid of the speedbump sticker lol, bit tacky imo.

 

[Jason_E]

@Tom

Naa, I thought that, Now I've done it it is a bit over the top. I was at the bottom of my coils too! TBH keep yours the way it is, I'm just a r****d

@LiamC

Cheers mate! What 19's you getting?

 

[Ray Gin]

The X5s. Adaptors are £300 ish and god knows how much for tyres lol

 

[Jason_E]

They do look dope as f**k. Quite a few will be getting them this year I thinks!

 

[_Tom]

My mate just got some X5's for £100. I want them. Spacers can be had for less than £300 though..

 

[Ray Gin]

Mine were £100 + tyres

H&R hubcentrics are £300 and I got another quote for £250. flat adaptors can be had for £150 but I'd never run a set of wheels (especially wide 19" ones) on anything other than hubcentric spacers/adaptors.

 

[_Tom]

Lol you cant get anything but hubcentric pcd adaptors.

 

[Ray Gin]

You can get non hubcentric spacers and adaptors I've seen them.

Almost bought a set over eBay until I saw a pic and realised they were non hubcentric.

 

[_Tom]

Spacers yes if they are small. As for PCD adapters, come on then lets see them? lol

 

[Ray Gin]

Non-Hubcentric PCD Adaptors;

[Jason_E]

Edit, seen above. :S Still confused.

 

[_Tom]

Lmao! Only on ebay would you see such a thing. f**k that. Who in there right mind would fit them? Even spacers id go 5mm max.

 

[Ray Gin]

Haha i know, that's why I said id never run them, hubcentrics or nothing! Way too risky, IMO.

 

[Ads_172]

Non-hubcentric adaptors?!? How would they work?!?

 

[Jason_E]

Dat ass, in the air, not quite visible here. Good.

 

[Ray Gin]

You need a US spec bumper and that repeater smoothed out.

Next on my shopping list when i can find out where to buy them from!

 

[Jason_E]

They cost a healthy packet tbh mate, but that's the easiest/cheapest way of getting US Spec bits. Smoothing is for homos!

... and plasterers.

 

[Ray Gin]

Thanks! I still cant find it though? LOL

Damn yanks eh

 

[Jason_E]

I feel like I should round up this thread a bit.

This is how I sold it:

I then had a Mk1 Golf, and an Audi A4 2.4 V6 since then.

Tomorrow, I'm picking up another Bora. This time a TDI 130 Sport. And I'm having conversations with Havair....

 

[AK]

Your dad finally want his car back, then?

OMG a VW on air ride?

 

[Jason_E]

OMG a guy with a Clio having a pop at someone with a VW? :O

But seriously, it's just a daily. Like the Bora before it I'll just do what I like and f**k anybody who takes it too seriously!

 

[Brookie.]

Ignore the haters. I liked how your last one ended up, so look forward to seeing where this one goes.

The new one looks tidy from that picture!

 

[Jason_E]

It isn't too bad. Specs are:

2002 (02) 1.9TDI Sport PD130. 129k Miles on it, has VW Service History up to 102k. Rear bumper has a big crack, so needs replacing. Also there is a dent on the rear arch but it should be easy to roll out.

Other than that it's pretty much solid. Drives lovely and has a nice amount of torque!

 

[Adam.]

Your dad finally want his car back, then?

He realized it aint the pusssssayyy magnet he thought it was.

 

[AK]

He realized it aint the pusssssayyy magnet he thought it was.

LOL, yeah!

On a side note I e-mailed Barrs, so we'll see what they say !

 

[Jason_E]

An Audi with Leather seats. I'm 19, so yes, it was quite the pussy magnet. Mainly because it looked more expensive than it was.

Bitches love money.

 

[_Tom]

Cant wait to see what this ends up like..

 

[Craigus]

At least you don't have a s**t colour to start with this time.

Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

 

[Scoot]

Lol, even my mrs who knows nothing about cars would look at that Audi and know it was fit for the scrapyard. Good to see your in somthing half decent again. I liked your old bora.

 

[welshname]

I wish I had got a bora TDi when i was looking at them. I really have a soft spot for them. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. You starting a new thread or continuing where you left off with the last one in here?

 

[_Tom]

Bit of insperation, my mates air'd out 130 tdi.
