So the time has come to sell my Bora!!
This is a very unknown car, I bought her as a relativley standard 2.8 4 motion 8 years ago and then embarked on a very major build! Spec is below:
Body:
2001 2.8 v6 4 motion shell
Genuine R line front bumber
Genuine R line rear bumper with custom lower valance to allow for centre exhaust outlet
R32 side skirts
Custom flared wheel arches - all metal
Full respray in LC9 black
De baged bonnet
MK5 style de badged grill
Genuine American GLI boot lid
Custom carbon fibre vw boot emblion
Zun sport black powder coated front grills
MK5 door mirrors with indicators and carbon covers
Indicators on wings deleted
Glass sunroof
Xenon hedlights
Front lip spoiler
The shell has only done 87k
The bottom of the shell was fully stripped back and fully stone chipped during re-build
MK6 fin ariel
Engine/running gear
MK4 3.2 r32 engine, that had only done 42k when stripped for build
Storm developments built and installed the engine, it was stripped back to a bear block, every bearing was replaced, the block was fully detailed before being rebuilt.
Wosner pistons
Carillo rods
ARP bolts
Garret GT3576 turbo
Full custom radiator, intercoller, pipe work and intake by Pro alloy all powder coated black
Custom power steering bottle

TTRS fuel pump
Syveks ECU
660cc Bosch injectors
Custom short run intake
Cast exhaust manifold ( not a cheap ebay job)
Full custom down pipe with tails blow off valve
VAG dump valve
Vibra tech engine mounts
Custom heat shields and full turbo jacket
It was mapped by Kev at Jabba sport, he mapped her with switch mapping, launch control and flat change, she is currently running 500BHP ( at the wheels) in standard mode and 564 BHP ( at the wheels) in sport
The engine runs on Motul 300v race oil which has been changed every 1500 miles
The Gearbox has a Quaffe diff, which was installed by J-tech automotive, the box had a full clean, inspection whilst apart and new seals and oil.
It has a spec 6 plus clutch fitted, and a light weight fly wheel
Suspension and Brakes:
KW variant 3's fully adjustable coilovers, with adjustable top mount platforms
neuspeed anti roll bars front and rear,
fully polly bushed, fully adjustable powder coated arms, TT quick steering rack.
All suspension components were striped and powder coated
Wiechers polished adjustable strut brace
Tarox 10 piston 356mm front set up
Tarox 330mm larger rear disc setup
Wheels:
She is currently running a custom set of Compomotive MO6 18 x 9 with 235/40/18 Goodyear eagle F1's
Interior:
Recaro Pole Position front seats, on custom bases.
S3 rear bench seat
All retrimmed by Trimania in Black nappa leather with Grey alcantara inserts
Door card inserts and arm rest trimmed to match
R32 peddles and gear stick
Custom door cards, fronts have 2 x 6.5" speakers and 2 x tweeters
Rears have 6.5" speakers exposed, again all retrimmed in black vinyl to look OE
Custom Flat bottom steering wheel in leather and alcantara
Alpine Double din sat nav
Genesis 4 channel amp
Diamond Hex speakers
Genesis 12" sub
Optima battery relocated to the boot, with power turn off key and hard wired c-tek charger
Sound deadening to all doors.
Carbon Fibre dash ends
I fully appreciate a Bora isn't everyone's favourite, I would be willing to sell the car without some of the spec e.g interior wheels etc but it would be a shame to break her after all of the works.
I think it is worth somewhere around £22500.00 ono, anyone who has built a car to this level will understand the cost in doing so.
