Title: Jeynesey's Edition 30
Post by: jeynesey on 24 September 2010, 21:54
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....

I will update with what I've done so far and some more pics ASAP. I can safely say its the nicest car Ive ever driven and still love it as much as when I first got it.  :cool:

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.

Post by: dan_apps on 25 September 2010, 10:18
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:

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j97/jeynesey/Edition%2030/vwaudi240710989.jpg)




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:

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!
