Hi guys, I'm Francis and I'm from Ireland and I currently own a 2004 Volkswagen Bora that I bought for V$2,000.
It's registered, stock and is in pretty good condition.

(I bought stuff from doges shop in my last rp so I took away the V$1,250 from my acc. so I now have it in this rp. Just fyi)

RedCarDriver

Here. As per your request, I cleared your thread out.

(Was going to just hide this one, but I didn't see how to do that right away, so I didn't.)

There were about 12 posts in here before the restart.

I went on Google and ordered a set of adjustable H & R Ultra Low coilovers for V$251. They were on sale and used so I snapped up the deal. They should be here tomorrow.

I'm also going to fit the foglights, Bride seat and Illest lip from Doges shop. Will post pics later.

skip

So my I got my coilovers today in the post, I swapped them out for the old suspension and it really improves the look of the car overall. I also put on the lip and foglights from Doge's shop. Next thing I'm gonna do is either buy a exhaust or some more bodyparts
(I moved the license plate because racecar)

Added 13 minutes later:

My friend PJ is stocking & selling his brothers old Bora, so I snapped up some parts off it. I got an exhaust, a badlook bonnet, a de-badged grill and a roof and trunk spoiler for V$350
I'll show pics once I have them fitted.
(Since today is Monday, I get my paycheck so I will just add V$25 to my money)

skip

So after a long struggle of trying to take the Badlook bonnet of PJ's brother's rusty Bora, I finally got all the parts fitted. Probably gonna get them sprayed tomorrow or as soon as I can. pix

I don't like this vw for now :< .

ok?
What do you not like?

The Bora needed new tires so I decided to go with Bridgestone Potenza's that are stretched (16") [V$450]
On the way home, the Illest lip sorta..... fell off? I went back and got it but I probably won't put it back on until later. I also bought 2 stickers, 1 for the bonnet and 1 for the roof spoiler [V$15]. I thought the trunk spoiler looked bad so I took it off. pix

(if you don't like the colours, my spoiler will answer your questions)

I don't know how to feel about this :/

Hey I also drive a Bora (Jetta over here) and just recently installed H&R's on it! Yours is a lot brighter than mine hands down lol

skip

Definitely my Bora is alot brighter
Looking back at it now I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. God it is fugly.

On-Topic

So after being gone for two weeks, the Bora has been resprayed a Burnt Red. Cost me V$2500 for a full respray.
I'm gonna get some new rims so I wonder what the offset will be like. Hope it's better than that anyway.
Gonna post pics when I go to pick up some chinese food

My rims arrived today, a set of Diamond Racing Steelies! Cost me V$700 with tires.
Makes the car look so much better imo
I re-fitted the Illest lip after it, well, fell off

Lagano

Wow, the wheels arrived very fast! (too fast i think 😃 ) They look good with the black lip.

In my last post I had bought rims from ThatBoostedGuys's shop but it was closed down so I just subbed those in instead 😛
Thanks 🙂

BIG NEWS

I bought another car
It's gonna be for track use only though
It's a....

Toyota MR-S!

I bought the car for V$4,950 (actual price in Ireland LINK)
It's dark green, has a relatively blown engine with shitty collapsed suspension. Massive exhaust leak included in the price also.
It has Z32 rims for some reason, dunno why..
Body and interior is in good condition which is a upside
I have big plans for this car, more posts coming..
Spoiler: V$12,840-V$4,950=V$7,890 car
V$50 Trailer rental V$7,890-V$50=V$7,840

MR-S
Relatively blown engine
Track use
Big plans
I'll definitely follow this build, keep it up bro!

Lagano

This MR-S looks interesting. I think there are a little too much problems for that price, i already see something's wrong with the suspension. I hope this won't cost you too much, i'm looking forward to your big plans. 🙂

skip

I am gonna swap a K20/24/F20c into it (if anyone has one they would want to sell to me, let me know, k) gonna find suspension to use and go from there. The car was a bit expensive because the body and interior was in great condition since it's hard to find a car in Ireland that isn't rusty with all the rain we have.

(I also want a bit of variety in the rp's, everyone is using the same cars...)

skip

This is quite a long post.

While I'm waiting on a response from VS Garage, I started to take out the old suspension and engine for the new stuff. Took out the passenger seat also because racecar. PJ (my friend) helped me since I borrowed his garage to store the MR-S in. It's kinda hard to take out an engine and suspension on a street.

Taking out the engine
(It was a bitch to take out, no space...)

Engine is finally out

Put the back end on again

Took out the seat

No more shitty suspension! Good times..

When I get my stuff from VS Garage I will post more pics.
(Which I hope is soon)

Added 1 hour 21 minutes later:

I finally got a deal on a K20A2 from Smokie at Crown Autoworks, will definitely be going there alot more for parts.
I'm getting a rwd tranny from a CR-V (AWD-RWD convert) and a custom made exhaust for a total of V$2,860. Should be here in 2/3 days.
Getting a spoiler from meganracingperformance link for V$135.75

Spoiler: V$7,840-V$2,995.75=V$4,844.25

So I'm back at this again.
Haven't posted in 3 months so I get about V$4,125 (If I'm right).
Expect more posts... 🙂
