Suj's Bora...Now Standard (Workhorse), Then Tracktoy Time :D

[suj]

200SX is the car of choice for cheap power kicks, looking at them myself. If you can find one old enough you can stick it on a classic policy with limited mileage. So you'd be looking at pre 1996.

Yep paul, good bang for buck, that would be a S13

CA18 DET is such a good engine too (its really a RB26 with 2 less cylinders )

Still got alot of options tbh

Sold my bonnet bra....first bit of cash towards my track toy fund lol

Thanks a lot Jordan, much appreciated mate.
Yeah gonna miss the way the car sits, but looking at the positives I will get my ride quality back for the daily, and then I can get a track toy too.

Just on the way to Castle Combe now in my mates E39 M5 to go watch another mate race.

It only looked ok low, don't raise it back up
That big nose of yours will be bleeding at standard ride height

Oh, and, love you

Dodgy dealings.

I should be able to make it Saturday or Sunday, will let you know fo' sho' for definite later tonight

 

[suj]

cool cool, so saturday I will be back to standard

 

[suj]

Car now back to standard lol

I have taken deposit on wheels and coilovers.

So just adapters to sell and a bit more to save, then I can get the weekend toy

Can't wait now, might just wait it out until I am 24 (november) so I get cheaper insurance)

 

[M1KEH]

she may be standard, but at least you have pictures of the good old days. And track fun is great anyway. Maybe once I move up that way in August we can sort out chipping your ecu for a litte more go from the workhorse?

 

[suj]

Yep, I seen what I could do with a better budget (had a shoestring with the ibiza, and it came out well too).

But I need tracks in my life

Sounds good dude, you break you....you buy it lmao

 

[M1KEH]

haha, don't worry, I don't plan on breaking it, have always wanted a bora but it's towing capacity is a bit low for my planned race car.

At the moment I'm trying to build a set of spare ecu's so even if breaking occurs it can be fixed instantly. But waiting for cheap ones on ebay means that it might take a few months.

 

[suj]

The bigger turbo'd (PD) ones are really good for towing tbh. the PD130 is awesome for towing, a guy I knew used to tow his Race Car and bits on it, and was perfect tbh.

I know, I am only kidding lol

 

[M1KEH]

Yeah just the legality of towing the weight is the problem. The bora's braked towing capacity is 1400kg, unless i can get a really lightweight trailer I need about 1600kg.

 

[suj]

Oh ok, yeah fair play then, you'd need something like V6 passat (dinky dave style?)

 

[M1KEH]

These are growing on me after seeing this,

A4's are awesome man! would love one, but this Bora is being run into the ground, until its so uneconomical to fix, then its staying (obviously little things and stuff is fine, even if a turbo went etc) but if whole engine went bang, just scrap it (well tbh engines aren't too expensive neither )

 

[suj]

The end

THE END!


Back to standard now.

Adapters getting taken off me tomorrow, deposit on coilovers (waiting for rest of money to clear), deposit on wheels (should be collecting fri/weekend), engine spacers gone to Arun (in swap for his standard ARB + some money my way....well I ain't got second bit yet lmao).

Kinda decided what I am getting now too, so in about 2-3months I will have it

Gonna be good, I literally cannot wait


Thanks for all the comments about the car, and all the people who followed.
This car will now be maintained as my workhorse, until it dies

Good luck with everyones cars / projects

 

[abhardwaj1990]

When are you sending me your Western Union details so I can wire the monies?

Kinda sad seeing this car standard but oh well, can't wait to see the toy.
