[Mario]

Woah 20 inch rims....very nice..congrats mate...can you put up the specs...

Cant wait to see it in the flesh im sure you'll be joining the cruises with pride!!

[Water Boy]

Fully sick :cool:

[rayray086]

Nice pick up! Though I must say some of the exterior mods are a bit questionable! So what will you be bringing to the Flat Four Shootout Luke?

[99gti]

Congrats. I love the colour - it looks so rich! It's a better red than the golf came in in Mk4 or is it the same? Just looks so much more glossy!

[velly_16v_cab]

bora's are great, thats a real nice colour too.


but it has to be said, get a std bonnet...come one, its a dub n:

[qsilverza]

Not a fan of the 20's nor the bonnet scoop. Like the LCD.

Did you get much more power with the mods ?

[Nick_80]

i reakon the wheels are questionable too, nething but chrome would look sweet

[Lukev85]

Thanks guys,

I think the Boras gonna have to come to flat four now lol.

Ill get some specs up soon. Ive had mixed feedback bout the scoop. Im in between atm. Not sure weather im gonna keep it or not. Other then that im happy with it.

Ill definatly keep the 20's on. I love chrome on cars.

[evorobin]

I'm speechless it's interesting. Great choice of engined Bora though :cool:

[KI11Z]

i know you havnt asked for opinions, but a wrx scoop? and 20's are sick! but the vaults have been way over done with all the auto salon scene; other than that love the colour! the kit is subtle but really suits it! and the engine mods sound the goods! do you have any idea of expected power? :D

[Lukev85]

Im looking at getting it on a dyno.

Anyone recomend a place in Liverpool/Fairfield/Campbelltown area.

Price?

[shami]

Crescent Motorsport, ask for Joe
54 Macquarie Street, Liverpool. 9600-6229

I need to get my car dynoed again lemme know when ure going i'll come along..i live in bonnyrigg i'd love to see ure car!

[Lukev85]

How much did it cost ya?

[velly_16v_cab]

top tip for rolling roads...

run smaller wheels as this will increase your @ the wheels BHP result :cool:

[nashan]

You don't drive around the canberra area do ya? I swear i saw that car parked in the Canberra VW dealer about 9 months ago when i first bought my car. Looks nice but i think the scoop is a bit too much.

Also do you have any trouble with the tires scrubbing? What size are your tires? Im looking at getting some 19's in two days! :D Just wanna know if they're give me grief.

If they are done right they wont rub. Mine are 20inch and do not rub at all.

Im not sure, i definatly know it was a canberra car

[nashan]

Yeah i must have seen it just before you bought it. Do you find your driving is pretty fough with such mammoth wheels? im getting some new wheels next week and am deciding between 18's and 19's. What chu reckon?

Nah its actually a smooth ride. It all depends on the suspension and how you modify the guards to not make it rub. I reckon go 19 inch, make sure rear guards are rolled back

[XXX-1.8T]

Ditch the scoop and the chromes man its such a nice car and its got all these rice mods to it.

Its a German car keep it German. If u want scoops and chromes buy Rex :)

Tell us more about the engine!

Nice car btw :)

[mikinoz]

FMIC, what Turbo is on it??

I like red.

[Lima]

Erm, so how come it took until page three for someone to click that this car has either had an aftermarket turbo kit fitted, or a complete engine trnsplant. No Bora sold in Australia had an OEM turbo powerplant.

j:

[LowVeeDub]

You've got to be joking right, Seriously..

[SoVeReIgN]

Scope is painful, the rest anit too bad :)

Love the colour!

[Lima]

You've got to be joking right, Seriously..

Nope. :?






















Ignore this, it is useless text to reach the stupid 10 character minimum.

[asian]

haha yeh sorry mate.. the scoop is rank.. makes the car look even smaller.. dw i have a bora too.. hard to mod the lil pieces of ****!!

stil in love with it but.. pimpin 7" screen.. get alpine tho DAYM :)

[Lima]

So, what engine is in this car??? :?

[shami]

Its been discovered thats theres a rocket under the hood and after discovering this, the owner has blasted of to the moon.:D

[shami]

No no clearly im wrong...hes back...

c'mon mate we're all hanging to know whats under the hood of ure car..

[Lukev85]

hey guys,

sorry bout the lack of updates.

I was at the motor show bout 2 weeks ago and i spoke to a guy called george from VW village.

I told him bout the mods on the car and he told me im running bout 40%more power then stock. I know this sounds bad that i dont even know what is under the bonnet of my own car, but we seemed to have thought their maybe a supercharger too. He gave me his details and said to bring it in to his shop as he was interested in having a look at the car, just been lazy i guess.

Im more of an aircooled vee dub person and im handy with my bug in working my way round the motor but new skool is a whole different thing for me.

Sorry again guys

[BlackVr6ix]

take some photos under the bonnet, im sure most of us would be able to spot a supercharger in there is there is one.

[Lukev85]

he said it may be under the engine cover, tried having a look but can see, guessin it maybe as the engine cover is slightly elevated.

What you guys thinkin?

[SoVeReIgN]

How did he guess you have 40% more power than stock if he doesn't know whether you have a supercharger or not :s


Sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about!

Take a few under the hood shots for us or take it to a reliable mech and i'm sure it won't take long to work out what it's running. :)

Follow the piping for the intercooler and see if it goes anywhere.

This is going by the supercharger theory, apparently hes an expert from what im told

[BL33SU]

are there any pipes coming from the FMIC? its prob a interfooler j:

Ill have a look tonight

[XXX-1.8T]

how did u buy a car that u don't know what it has done to it?

Is this a joke?

Who did the mods to the car?

This has to be a joke!

[Lukev85]

The mods were all done in Canberra and i brought it with all the mods done.

And no, its no joke

Ill look at the reciepts and get the names of the performances places work was done at. As i mentioned ive never had anything to do with new skool dubs.

Did it come with warranty?

How do u know the mods were done properly?

Goodluck with it!

If its a supercharged V5 then its should go well just as long as the tuning is correct.

It comes with a 5 yr warrenty that covers all mods

From what i can see with the reciepts all work was done at euro motor sports in canberra.

Performance wise, to goes hard, its pretty quite with driving normally but when you flatten it, it really opens up and sounds like a V8. Smooth as

[DubSteve]

When you said you had a $4000 exhaust that was a joke miltek are not that expensive, even if it was gold plated!

Follow the front mount piping and see where it leads to, or if your coming this weekend to the flat fours bring it along, so we can check it out :)

I was told this by george from Vw village. Im gonna call up a place here in syd and get some prices.

Ill be a flat four this weekend with the bora, so all the real experts here can check it out.

Looks fowards to meeting u all btw

[peedman]

Can u hear any whinning noise when u give it some gas? If so you might have a supercharger/turbo in the car or it came with a free woman in the boot. I could probably live with the car if it didnt have the bonnet scoop, i think thats just going a bit to far but each to their own i suppose :D

yeh like a whiseling whinning noise. Thats why we came to that conclusion

I sorta like the scoop myself, plus its good for the car

Only if there was a top mount! But it also cools the engine down I guess.
Should be interesting!

Its about performance with the scoop, thats the only reason i wont get rid of it.

Wow . . . At least the wheels match the scoop.

[FL00DY]

haha come on whats the go? You have a FMIC, but a bonnet scoop a small hatchback could fall into. This has got to be a geeee up, who buys a car and doesn't get its details checked out properly.

Saw it, liked it, brought it

[awestonvp]

Geez picky bunch aren't we. Give Luke a break - He liked the car so he bought it. I've bought cars I liked without knowing much about them technically, and learnt about them afterwards. Good on ya Luke, glad you've got a car you like - it makes all the difference eh!

[Lima]

Yeah, I did that once. It was the worst decision I ever made. j:

[mikinoz]

So, what engine is in this car??? :?

Can you type out some of the parts from the receipts to mod this car so we can ascertain what it is you have please?

Reminds me of a car I nearly bought...

[FknDubbin]

The ex owner sounds like a bull**** artist from what i can gather...



Scoop doesnt do jack unless you have a top mount intercooler. If anything it could prove costly as water may enter through the scoop and can cause ignition coils to fail etc etc. Ditch the 20's and get some wide ass BBS's and a boser bonnet and itll be wicked.

that white bora is fu#*!@ HOT. i want that bora. i have always liked white. my next car is def going to be white. oh ye and the rims theyre nice haha.

[intensem1]

Just made me want a Bora more! Look hot and ive got the perfect rims in the shed for one :(

[Langers]

Anyone get to the bottom of this yet? Appalling aesthetics aside, it would be interesting to know what performance mods this car has had (no doubt all undone by the ungodly heavy wheels...)

[Golf Loon]

Saw Lukes car at the show on the weekend. The intercooler is a dummy, connected to nothing and the bonnet scoop only cools the engine.

It has an oetteneger grille and some badges and could have chip or internal work to the motor, but looked stock from the outside.

I liked the interior, grey leather perches are porn.

[Soundofav6]

YEah man love your interior.. Enjoyed a bit of fast and furious action too.Those speakers are NICE... what kinda are they ?

[Lukev85]

hey guys,

abit disappointed with the info bout all the mods i feel so let down, but on the bright side it will give me a working platform.

Sound system is MTX speakers, amp and subs. Head unit is JVC

Don't worry man when I got my car it looked like junk... with bucket of leaves and sun damages, discoloration. As you said gives you a working platform. Nothing is stoping you now how far you take it back or forward. its your car.

Hi Luke,

I must admit I had reservations when you described the car, there were many unanswered questions but you liked it so you bought it and good on you for that. As you don't regret buying the car there is no problem is there?

It's your car, it is unique and I'm sure you'll get much pleasure from owning and driving it. :)

Cheers

George
