New Bora 4Mo owner (finallllly)

howdy Mk4 brethren!

After many months of drooling and waiting for the wifey to agree to a second car, i have laid my stinky paws on a great Bora V6 4mo in black. Very happy. Stock as a rock. I take delivery of her tomorrow and took her for the world's longest test drive today. Stoked.

Having the Mk5 TDI as my daily, I'm sure you Bora owners will agree that they are great cars. I don't know if its the build or the chassis or simply the tyres he had on but the tyre roar is VERY noticably quiet in the Bora by comparison to the Conti Sports 2 i have on the Golf. In fact, there's perhaps a little too much sound deadening at the firewall as i wanted to hear the VR6 come to life....

here's the carsales ad, and as you can see i got her for a song!! She's already had the big 100,000km service done too.

Incidentally, i have the AVC9000 fitted to the TDI and wondered if anyone has fitted the AVC equivalent double-DIN unit to their Mk4's? Or is there a better unit?

Well, I am stoked as can be, so time for a dancing 'nana i say!!!

Good price, we nearly bought one 3 years ago and sometimes regret it, but a complementary car to the TDI for sure.

Mods time Mik?

I might grab another S/S. Reckon the VTDA would be better on the Bora?

congrats.. and welcome to the "Family"... To put it in perspective.. 2.5yrs ago, I paid double that but it had one third the Kms... Damn they have dropped in price!!!

PS- Rozelle isnt too far from my place... are you in the area?

Wow man, you got that for a steal! Good to see you picked one up. Look forward to what you do with it, anything planned yet?

Wow! so cheap. The boras are great (even the 2.slows) Any plans?

Good price. People are dreaming with the prices they ask these days

Prices (just like salaries) are whatever you can negotiate i guess mate. This guy that sold it to me now wants a Mk5 GTI so he may well be a forum member too, and i have to say it was such a good buying (and i hope, selling) experience for us. kinda like a VW Love-In

His was a steal at the price i got it for, let alone what he was asking - but then again he did say upfront he was after a very quick no-nonsense sale. If you look in carsales right now there are cars with less kms (but haven't had the major service done yet) for WAY more. There are even some for $20K

Anyway, i am stoked and so very happy to have a Narrow Angle in my possession. Plans are very mild at this stage (heh, aren't they all?) of adding a in-dash GPS like an AVC unit, VTDA, S/S kit, tints (anyone know a good cheap place in Sydney) and a really good detail to start her life with me off in a good way.

Next step mods after that would be the basics; Haldex, Zorst (have heard all i need is a cat-back as the rest flows nicely?), slotted rotors, new pads, ECU flash, suspension change, F&R ARBs (F or R strut braces needed?), and would love cams and squirters but i figure thats going a bit crazy.
