Irish vw Bora 150pd sport............this is going to be quiet a pic heavy one to!

[vinnie]

i have this car about 4 years now and after doing a good few mods here and there..
2002 vw bora 150 pd
i spotted it on pistonheads,emailed the bloke for about a month,got a one way flight to London from Dublin and a one way trip on the ferry from Hollyhead to Roslare,hoping that the car was as good as it was described...luckiny it was,then drove 4.5 hours from London to Hollyhead,got the boat and another 2.5 hour trip home!


spec was factory fitted zenons,sat nav,headlight washers,climatronic,sport interior,6 speed ,auto wipers,factory alarm,cruise control and auto dimming mirror.and of course the ARL150bhp diesel pd lump.

first thing was H and R lowering springs..
then fitted red l.e.ds into the door triggers.

[vinnie]

then i fitted a set of genuine spots in the lower bumper grills





bumper off, and got dround taking off the headlamp washers off to.




air box and all bits removed for the wiring as well as puting in the wire for the switch...and while i was there decided to stick in the boost gauge(and b4 any one says anything,i know theres no vac in a deisel,its the only gauge i could get thats identical to the coulur of the facia)







just a quick trial fit to make sure there working b4 everything is put back together


and all done!





ill stick up a pic later with the gauge.

the pod wouldnt be exellent quality but it does the job





where i connected the boost pipe to.



full miltec exhaust including cat delete






just some more pics from the last few days,while i was at it i said i might as well get the down pipe to


this is what i was left with...


so heres what it was like

[vinnie]

bits removed and rebar fitted back again





and new one getting there











new 4motion valance fitted also


job done





i fitted a tow bar for about 3 months to drag my bike around but sold that and sold the tow bar also

cheers for the comments lads,theres loads in the pipeline still!!

also fitted stubbymirrors to .from a seat arosa/vw lupo


during


and after

the differnce in the size

all electrically adjusted and heated.


also decidet to get rid of these




















eventually got time to put in the w8 light
have to say its a well worth mod to!

[vinnie]

brand new bbs rc's














got the front 312mm brakes from a audi TT,rears to be put on soon


the standard ones look lost!


also got more black badges,front and rear,after the front was nicked

[vinnie]

i had stone guards to put on instead of bending back the original ones but were the wrong ones







i had to make up some 6mm spacers for the carriers as the brakes were from a TT




before and after



never rains but it pours
this decided to **** its self the other night!
new pulley

[vinnie]

then i fitted a full vw genuine heated seat kit...
sorry bout all the pics but theres loads!







coilovers to be fitted soon to,just havnt got the time to fit em yet.

out with the seats first,2 torx either side of the runners and 2 13mm nuts.....and dont forget to disconnect the the airbag loom and just slide the seat backwards!








get a suitable kitcken counter top and start pulling the thing apart


start by removing all the handles and knobs

the height adjuster just has 2 torx,the other 2 knobs just pull off

the bottom of the seat,the plastic trim has 2 screws one here ..

and one behind

and a plastic piece also to hold in the side of the trim



and you should have this

next,take the loom for the air bag and take it off the clips the hold it to the base of the seat as its going to be split

theres 4 of these that hold the back of the seat to the base

remove them and youre left with this


flip it up on its arse

and just lift up the edge of the fabric,it comes up easy enough

just lift up the cushion then
