every kind of bar u can imagine
12.1 wilwood big brakes
corbeau cr1 seats (i already had em)
vafc
victor x manifold
and some other little goodies

17 grand...............
what do u guys think? do it or hold out for something else

[foilpan]

sounds sweet. is he itching to sell it? if there's time, look around while you can.

[IceD out N CALI]

if it was me i'd get a new car, not someone elses project

[turboboraLA]

it isn't built yet. those are the parts we are gonna put on it.

[IceD out N CALI]

well hey, if it is your project and u like that car, then why not:cool:

[SHAKEnBAKE]

Sounds nice, Hmmm........... GSR head:D

[LordKoo]

I would get a new car, with new smell, virgin for you to feel and touch and to custom to your taste. Not taking someone's else project used car...

After buying my EP new, I would not settle for anything less than a new car in the future. All miles on my EP is 99.9999% mine... 0.00001% was because of dealership and my darn friend who jealous and wanted to drive her!

[cj miller]

damn man. that was a nice jetta man. your the one who wreck in the cayon right? well i WOULD go with the 00 si but its been out and people have done this and that to it and its all figured out. the EP still has lots of room to grow. If your going to take some time to get all those upgrades then sickness but if your going to have the 00 si all fixed up in like 1 month then what you gunno do with it then? Maybe you should hold out for a STI if its in your price range.

[IceD out N CALI]

like i said earlier, if that is what you really want, then do it. its just hat the 00si has had its glory days, but now there are bigger and better things out. kinda like yesterdays fad. Why not get a faster car out of the box, and brand new, and mod that?

Same or less amount of money of a new car, the 00 SI will be a much faster car. Plus he is having it built the way he wants it. Double wishbone stills remains supreme as opposed to the Mcpherson squeeking suspension.

you could always go with a GTI. Heck, you might be able to find a WRX for $17,000. The old SI looks too plain in my opinion

true. but he doesnt necessarily have to go the honda route. in other words take your time and explore the possibilities:)

[TrippZ]

but the truth of the matter is how many of you guys dont turn your head when you see the "DOHC VTEC" stickers on an si as it passes by or get whiplash from scoping out the EBP si across teh street...

[95 GSR]

dont get a already done project car... no fun in that..

get a STI, so u can play around with chris...

better yet , get a GSR and invest the money u saved to spank whatever u wish... ;)

[chunky]

hmm. . . 11:1 compression and stage 2 cams and then only a v-afc to tune it?

wtf? i'd figure something like hondata, haltech, aem ems or something. . . but a v-afc?

that car probably runs like shit and isn't making anywhere near the power it should

OMG lol plz learn to read you elitererate basterds!!!!! lol just kidding but yeah it does help to read lol....As he said hes going to build it its not all done up yet it is his project guys....


But man that bora was sweeeeeet i almost think i would have rather gone the turbo jetta route.......Nonono it would have been tight to fid like a ford escort cosworth damn those things are sweeet lol i would only get one of those things to kicks people ass in a ford which is really i guess and import ford so we got the import/domestic all rolled into one!!!Too bad they didnt make them here :( ...ENough rambling peace out gl with the car!!

[David K.]

Help me out you guys. What does "bora" mean? I saw it tonight on a white Jetta.

[tsa1]

Bora is the european name for the jetta, kinda like the rsx=USA and integra= japan, same car diff names.

[turboboraLA]
