Have decided to create a thread for my ed30, with the prospect of mods coming in the (not so distant :lipsrsealed:) future lol....
As some of you know my old car was a mk4 gti T, as shown below...

I owned it for about 18 months and although I loved it, it started costing money and wanted something a bit nicer :grin:
So in May/April I was looking at Audi A3's, then I almost bought a standard MkV Gti.
Plans then changed, I priced up a Scirocco, then decided not to upgrade at all and keep the mk4 :rolleyes:
I popped into my local dealership for a part with my girlfriend and saw the ed30 on the forecourt and knew I HAD to have it straight away :grin:
Piccys from when I 1st got it....

Re map - remap :laugh:
Looking forward to the mods bud :laugh:
-
Its on the list.... but not top :grin:
-

Have you considered a remap :lipsrsealed:
-
Niiice :cool:
So what are your plans once the remap your getting is done? :evil:
-
Well the shopping list....
RNS 510
Coilovers
Miltek (possibly)
Remap
Pipercross
Thats it for now :undecided:
-
looking nice Nick, not sure about the coilovers for a mk5 mind, id be more tempted to put the cash in for a koni uprated suspension kit! is it just lowness your looking for?

Well no not really, very much want the performance too :evil:
I was more than happy with the eibach springs on the mk4 but also want a decent drop lol.
-
think about it like this the money u save in buying an uprated kit instead of expensive coilies can be put towards luggage nets, load liners and other pointless tat that mk5/6 drivers love getting! :grin:

Got a few issues to sort out....
New tyres went on last month, went for Michellin PS3's. They are pretty awesome, very happy with them.
The air con is preety shocking, im almost certain now there is a problem with it. Also my zenons have both got cracks on them in the same place. Not from any sort of impact but looks like a weak point in the maunfacture. Im not very impressed with it, so taking it to my stealer tomorrow to also book in a service. :rolleyes:
-
remap next then :grin:
-
Yeah so its not getting tedious :grin: :grin: :grin:
I might start a remap donation fund seeing as you are all so keen on it :kiss:
-
Doesnt need anything major, looks great as it it, shame about the issues. only thing you can do to impove it is a remap. :grin:
-
^^^ :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Ta, just a few subtle things I think rather than anything major :wink:
-
I'm a big fan of the Mk5 ED30, yours is looking nice! Get those little things out the way then you can get a remap... :rolleyes:
-
Get one of these for your remap, I have similar, its full of um.... pennies!..... the rate that it fills up i will have a full respray by 2050! :smiley:

Nice little list there although expensive, dont think a fiver is going to cut it! My dad bought my "Car Repair Fund" jar as a joke years ago when my first MK1 was also my daily! such a good car hence the pot only had pennies in it! now i need to rob a bank!

I dont have a private runway to test that out. However I wouldnt even get 42 mpg driving everywhere in 6th gear.
