Standard GTI and Edition 30 Differences.....

[topher]

About an inch and a half

[illyun]

That seems like a fair point illyun! I think although the topic has strayed off point somewhat its still important to establish whats fact and whats simply hearsay.

I for one would not hesitate in trusting VWR with my car, and I think from a company specializing in racing VW's your probably not going to go far wrong if you were to trust them with yours. Obviously they do have an outstanding reputation, and the fact they are constantly testing their expertise around a track should give anyone enough confidence to pay them a visit should it be in their Gti or ED30.

Bad T_T  making suggestions!!!

I was beginning to wonder if I was going crazy      I don't get paid by VWR, but have experience astounding customer service from them - like letting me on the premises at 9:30pm when I was meant to bring my car in by 10am the day before    Also, I haven't been to a garage where the engineers are so willing to show you around the back and answer any questions you have in a very open manner.  Mark from VW even took me to a nearby warehouse where they hold official Seat motorsport cars - bugdet for a car was in the millions although I can't exactly remember how much.  Its why I am so happy to support them, especially when someone makes disparaging comments for no real reason.

So, differences between the ED30 and the standard GTI......hmmmm.............

lol

Ahh yes.. well sorry about that. We got slightly distracted!  But the conversation stemmed from a disagreement about whether and how much the Ed30 shares engine components with the Audi S3 - only very important if you want to tune your car later, although I would have thought that this would also affect future Ed30 prices to an extent.

....

Just to add to Illyun's last post (and then I'll shut-up unless provoked), I too have experience of using VWRacing/RacingLine and cannot recommend them highly enough (Mark Farmer in particular). Totally professional and very caring - I can give so many examples of this. It is because of my direct experiences of them that I jump to their defence. I too have no vested interest and recieve no discounts etc. I carry their logos on my car with much pride and it was my idea, not theirs, to do so.

I'd like to thank you topher for allowing this thread to meander off topic so that various views could be expressed even if not in full agreement with each other.

:group-hug:

So, what's an inch-and-a-half between close friends!?

interesting read gents, look foward to T_T's responce

....Yes they are the same - Well, to be technical, Racing Line own VW Racing IIRC.

"In bed with?" - I'll be amused to hear Mark's response when we next speak, but certainly close!

If you look on the back wall you'll see both logos and it ain't posters on a kid's bedroom wall. Hell! Why am I having to prove all this?



I think we've now reddressed the balance and can move on...........

Mark was telling me that it was a BRAND NEW example from the showroom being built for a customer - who obviously has deep pockets!
