Operation: BlackSmoke

must of just been the way you parked it then!

Porsche brakes now fitted, gtigreg helped me bleed the brakes using one of those bleeding kits from Halfords which did a great job and was super easy to use. thanks mate

Gonna get some porsche decals for them?

not sure Matty, wanted to get some saying volkswagen but couldnt find any. I have ordered some of ebay, there only a few pounds, but not 100% sure if i'l put them on.

Maybe the VW R:. logo would be a cool OEM+ option?

Went for the classic porsche lettering in the end.
Few more updates got wind deflectors on


Also fitted my new double din headunit that i got from Stampers Friday night, also got the bluetooth unit which I mounted in the glove box along with my ipod.


On a down note, some how managed to destroy my pipe that goes to the intercooler on the way home yesterday, so will be making a visit to vw parts department in the morning.

as always all comments welcome!

Had a good look at this at the meet on friday. Got a good stance and very shiny

looking real good luke how do you go about fitting those brakes? i.e whats needed and what were the brakes off i assume a porsche.

does look smart luke! but wtf happened to your interccoler pipe?

yep there off the back of a 911, need mounting brackets for the calipers, mine came from a company called badger5 i think, braided hoses, then just the discs & pads. fairly easy to fit, i just had to mess about with spacers so they would clear my wheels.
Vladimir, the mounting bracket on the aluminium pipe broke, probably because of the shity bumpy roads, then it came away from the intercooler and bent back, made a evil sound when it came of. It sounded like my wheel was falling off!
Hopefully its just a case of putting a new pipe on and jobs a goodn.

this looked awesome on friday night, so clean and the fitment on the rear wheels and front brakes is immense!

^^ cheers, the front needs a bit more low but im gonna need a chassis notch for that so not sure when it will happen.
Loved your mk3 by the way, massive win.

Surely you cant get much lower on the front without scrubbing tyres can ya.

The bora is progressing nicely in the couple times i've seen it, keep it up mate it is looking very good.

Well ive rolled the arches last weekend and that along with a chassis notch should give me another 15mm easily.

Just out of interest, how long did it take you to roll your arches? did you say you iron-barred them?

Bora looks sweet as nut btw mate!

I see you got the headunit in and sorted without any fuss?
Looks nice between the brushed aluminium pieces

And that bluetooth box is quite a snug fit too!


Lookin' real nice mate!

Didnt take long at all, but I would defo recommend warming the arch up first with a heat gun just to make every thing easier to roll.

Yep head unit went in a treat, just had to get arial adaptor with the blue power lead to recieve a perfect signal, well happy with it.
The unit works very well with the ipod as well and sounds brilliant.

looks sweet, i need some decent calipers on mine..... but there is no way i could go that low.
