Buying a 4-Motion Bora .. Sport vs normal ..

[Golf-Sam]

Yep. Most trucks only have the 24" version fitted. Gives a very low note. Some fire trucks have this type for clearing intersections.

There's a.small tank under the floor in the boot alongside the spare. I just pump it up to 150 PSI and.it lasts for months before needing a refill.

Installation is very discrete most people can't find it in the engine bay.

You do need to use it responsibly though, people tend to swerve when you hit it.

All my cars ave air horns, this is the biggest but not the loudest.

I've got a 24" Grover in a MK1 and a Hornblaster "bullet" horn in a B1 Passat Bullet Air Horn

[dylan8]

ok your horn is bigger then mine <<< lol
and at 150psi will most likely be the same!

yeah the silver one does seem to have been on the market for some time .. i'll see if i can get the seller to do a RWC .. just to make sure she's is top shape mechanically .. do we know any good VW mechanics that would be able to inspect a car down in Melbourne's way ?

I recommend Paul at Euroworks 95603326, his pretty fussy and I recommend anyone buy a car to get him to go over it...he spends a great deal of time inspecting every aspect of the car

Dylans right that the red 03 looks suspect. Both it and the silver one were for sale when i bought mine which was over 6 months ago.

Same here, while mine isnt the most original in the world it does everything I need and gives me something to play with, and at $8k it is straight and clean with potential to turn into a nice sleeper or something that screams to the police "follow me"
I prefer something in between, a nice clean exterior with a bit of poke added underneath the skin to keep the Holden Ute boys around here honest
Dub Toffee sold me a nice base to start from

that is exactly what I'm going for .. not too low .. nice wheel .. decent coilovers .. exhaust , intake .. then finally HGP turbo kit in a year or two ..

Mine's going to be on the market soon.

2001
~130,000 km
Blue Haldex
Milltek Catback Exhaust
Custom Code
Hayman Reese Towbar
Eclipse headunit, (blue tooth hands free, ipod etc)

It's black with black interior

Looking for $12,000 (will include the biggest air horn ever fitted to a Bora.)

If you end up parting out the blue haldex let me know. Id be interested it.

what exactly is the blue haldex ? is that an upgrade chip ? where can we get them from ?

My Oettinger rims are from that red Bora. I bought them off the guy 9 or 10 months ago and his car had been for sale for a few months at least already at that point.

It is a super clean car, really so much better than it looks in the photos. If I remember correctly he told me he had big plans for it including a Bora R front bumper (the rear bumper is a Bora R rep) and all sorts of mods but then he got a motorbike of some sort and got a bit diverted from the Bora. His opinion is that he has one of the nicest Boras around and he isn't planning to take any less than $13,500 for it so it sits undriven until he sells it.

It's a really nice Bora but I think he'll be waiting another 10 years for 4motion Boras to be recognised as a modern classic before he gets more than $11,000 for it.

Hi Golf-Sam,

Did you end up looking at that silver Bora in Victoria?

Thinking of heading over there myself.
