View Full Version : Blown Bora @ DOVW
Hey Guys
Is the person who owns the blown silver bora on BBS with Brembos a member here?
I'd love to know what it took for him to get it to where it is, etc...

Wow I've never heard of a blown Bora around here, maybe someone should scout him out and recruit him if he's not already lurking? :D

I spoke to both the R32 owner Mario and the Bora owner and told them about the forum perhaps they'll join soon.
That Bora was well presented :D

To much money for not much gain ! 100 Hp above the 200 hp we have for about 15k odd after brakes etc etc. Better off selling and buying an S4.
Not that I wouldn't do it if I had the means ! Awesome bora though.
you could say that about any car.
Its nice to have something unique I think.

AWESOME!!! Eat that R32/36 drivers Ha Ha!
My questions now follow....
Is it a handful to drive daily?
How has the running gear held up?
Do you have a complete list of mods associated with the S/C upgrade?
Would you recommend the upgrade to other V6 (ahem) drivers?
Cheers and Welcome,
Dave

Awesome doesn't do this justice! Not only would it go like a scalded cat but damn it looks so nice n clean too. Props to you!

300 KW is nothing to sneeze at ! I thought it had 300 +- HP because that's what the stage II VF kit is but I just assumed it was one of these.
Awesome. Is it a stock exhaust ?
If you want I would be happy to take a video and than edit it as long as you don't mind me taking a couple of weeks !! :) With the editing of course.

Welcome Tony :D
I'm Ben the one who spoke to yourself and Mario (and your wife) about how good looking the Bora was.
As you can see we're all in awe of your Bora :eek:
Do you have a vid of the Bora smoking the R36 :bowdown: ?
Cool no problems Jim,
Perhaps we can catch up on the 7th and have a chat.
Sounds like a plan Tony.
I'm sure there will be a lot more people interested aswell...
1 major question, did you do it yourself or have a shop help you out, if the latter, could I get a name?
Thanks
Tony Carabott

Yeah cool no drama more then happy for you to take as much video as you like next time I take the car to a track day. I will let you know in advance.
