VR6Rich 3 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Forgot to update this thread with some of my mods so here's a catch up.Ok, had the Bora booked into my mates new garage based up in Stroud a while back, pretty much spent the whole day up there but then we were chatting most of the time!Now got the Haldex sorted by replacing my ECU with a known good one from an R32 which I bought off of a guy on the R32OC. Also had a new fuel filter fitted (still had the original one!) and had the Miltek realigned as my mate was a perfectionist and couldn't stand it not being perfectly straight. Anyway, the more important reason for being up there was to have my R32 suspension and ARB's fitted, along with new top mounts/bearings and drop links. Also had an S3 lower brace fitted at the same time.Here's some photos:Here's the result height wise, I apologise for the dirty car Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Ok I managed to get some BBS CH wheels, 18" x 8.5" ET30 last week and the race was on to fit them for E38 at the weekend. Here's some photos:All sorted for E38, though I think it looks higher now, what do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
