Its a 56 plate 49k miles spec on it is good,
F&R parking sensors
Full leather
SatNav
Dual zone climate
Rear twin audio with headrest screens
bendy xenons
Excuse the tow hook its got a poorly engine but that will be sorted asap, ill get some more pics once its all done,
To come will be uprated internals wossner pistons and h beam rods, bigger intercooler and decat both front and middle cats then down to RSTuning for mapping plus ill be fitting the folding mirrors and oem bluetooth to finish the spec off
I'm sure you'll all be cursing me for going to the dark side but I needed the bus for my bike and with the spec plus 265bhp with the bluefin its a hoot especially for the price I got it at :happy2: and the engine is well ripe for 420+bhp
-
:surprised:
OMG, OMG, OMG :scared:
Has the world suddenly stopped turning?
Has Hell frozen over?
Is that a flying pig I see?
Noooooo!
Darren's been lured by Darth Vader to the Dark Side! :sad1:
What happened to the S3 plan?
I hope you'll keep coming on here to help us poor befuddled stereo guys out from time to time. :happy2:
-
It came up very cheap John, the S3 is on the back burner but not forgotten Ill certainly stick around but I'm doing more and more overtime to pay for the move to a bigger house.
-
Good on you mate you have done the right thing and do whats right for your family(And Bike :wink: )
im sure you will get an Audi at some point but the house move is way more important
enjoy your new motor and im sure it wont be long before its pimped
scott :happy2:
-
Very sensible buy for your needs,looks like their is a lot of room in it
-
Hi Darren
Looks like just the ticket for what you need at the moment. Good luck with it all!
All the best
Paul
-
If youv'e gotta have a bus thats the one to have!! :wink: Just remember to slow down when the road turns left or right! :laugh:
Nice one Darren!
-
Cheers guys I knew you'd all understand :evilgrin: I will get back into a VAG at some stage,
-
Hi Darren
It might not be an audi, but if it ticks the boxes then that is the main thing.
I'm sure the Audi will come soon :wink:
-
Best of luck with it dude,
I wouldn't be too keen on 420bhp in one though!!! :scared:
-
Cheers Ed
Mark its already been done mate apparently takes it very well :evilgrin: personally its not what I want out of a bus but 300 ponies is most welcome :happy2: :grin:
-
It came up very cheap...
I'm sure I read that the Zafira is the fastest depreciating car in the UK...
-
Good spec that, I'm sure the S3 can wait till then you have this one to play with :happy2:
-

It can be whatever it wants to be mate, it's a cat c so I know what I bought into same has my golf they get run for a couple of years then get traded.
Once I've finished with it I'll then sort the S3 out
-
Looks good Morty :happy2: , I've always thought this was one of the better looking cars out all the mini MPV's and it looks like you've found one with nearly all the optional extra's on
-
Well it's different, thats for sure. What engine is in it then?
-
2.0 turbo 240bhp same has Astra VXR
-
2.0 turbo 240bhp same has Astra VXR
Loba K04 :wink:
Regal are testing on a VXR if you check their site (fast little taxi then!!)
-
Cheers Steve I'll go and have a look now, it just so happens that I'll be ordering a new turbo tomorrow so we'll see what money I have left after buying a new engine today :happy2:
-
is the engine totally knackered then Daz
-
#2 cylinder conrod is defo fubard #3 not sure but looks like conrod bent slightly? Not making full travel to top of bore?? The turbo had a mass of water in which I expected so rather than refurb it I'm just going to buy a new one. I've also ordered new cambelt kit and turbo gasket and inlet/outlet gasket sets.
Once the engine is at the garage I'll get the zaffy over there and get it swapped over.
-
Hey Darren, nice little bus you got there. Booty over on UKMKIVs has one, stage 2 pushing some good figures too, has done all the VXR mods to it. Have a look may get some ideas.
May be in touch soon for some new mods, hope your up to it ! HA HA HA :happy2:
-
Well its all done just had Thorney Motorsport BF on and its at stage-1 272bhp - 280ft lb, bigger intercooler and full tbe with stage-3 and it should be into the 300+ :wink:
The gearboxes on the vxr's are the weakest link so ill be getting the bearings changed at some stage just to make sure it doesn't go pop :scared:
The handling is actually quite good with the IDS+ and CDC it just sits in the corners and goes round them even better with the SPORT button has it sharpens every thing. The only thing ill be touching on the suspension side will be uprating the RARB.
Other than that i'm actually liking it more and more and I can actually put my bike in it without taking the wheels off :grin: :happy2:

I know your thought on the VXR but I hope you like :signLOL:
-
God them seats are very rectangular arent they?! Looks cool otherwise!
-
^^^ :grin: yes they are but very comfy :happy2:
-
ooh i quite like it Darron :happy2:
-
Looks good Darren, i just thought of you yesterday, it has been a while :smiley:
The flat tube from the airbox on top of the engine shouldn't it be possible to do better? warming the air up over the engine is a bad idea :wink:
-
It's a :happy2: from me!
-
Cheers guys
Jake there are certainly better ways the most common is the CDTI airbox which basically does away with the crossover pipe and directs it from the airbox straight to the turbo.

As above
-
It looks quite under-stated in silver. I would be tempted to put standard bumpers on it for a laugh. My mechanic made x2 ford connect vans with focus rs engines in that were :rolleye:
-
Glad to see that you are mobile again :happy2:
