    The plans yo have for the car sound great, Can't wait to see when it is done.

    Your bora is pretty clean, what model/year is it?

    Heh, Thanks

    Update for this week though.

    Not sure about the tyre it seems to be holding pressure but i think ill order a new one just to be sure. But at $170usd for the tyre and two center caps and another $170usd to ship it here it seems a bit much.

    Should be getting in the refresh kit and new strut mounts and all that shortly so i can put the kw's in.

    And ordering a big brake kit soon. Its kinda funny when a local guy tells you to buy from ecs because all he would do is get the same thing and add a 60% markup on it :O. Still not sure if i should go with yellow or red calipers though? Or which kit to go infact.

    Hey guys,

    Bit of a update for anyone who cares .

    Not much has happened lately as i've been away at work earning my new power Turbo should be soooooon!!

    Got my refresh kit so once i get my car back KW v2's and refresh kit can go in.

    Got a little present for myself as well.



    By the way a little advice for people. Dont stick your finger between a chain and a beam. Heres the results if anyones brave enough. (NOTE NSFW)


    And a little teaser
