Keeping my Edition 30

[woodster]

Been taking a serious look at the Golf R. I was clsoe to ordering but bottled it at the last minute. Have decided to keep my Edition 30 for another 12 months
and then have another look round. To get the feel good factor again - I am going to be hunting the forums for some mod ideas over the next few nights.
Ones I have in mind are speaker upgrade, revo and exhaust and new bulbs.  If anyone can point me in the right direction for any of these, that would be great.
I will start searching the forum now.

Another couple of problems I have is the need to replace the tyres - thinking of going for Michelins plus I have some scuffed wheels - can these be repaired at all?
I know I am being lazy and the answers are all here somewhere.

Cheers

Woody

I'm in the same quandry as you about the Ed30.......going back to a 'normal' GTi is just wrong, and the R is just too much money, so my fingers are crossed that VW will be following with their usual tradition and we'll see an Edition35 soon!!

An edition 35 will be along in late 2011/early 2012, so you'll be keeping the moter for at least another 2 years

For me the MK6 GTI isn't as much of a step forward development as the MKIV to MKV was. Sure it has some extra trick bits available, but that is all they are. The essence of the MKV still lives in the MKVI and that is the chassis/suspension. The engine lives on from the Edition 30 into the Scirocco R and Golf R, so why would someone swap an Edition 30 for one of these at such a huge price difference I don't know, unless it is just to get the newest, latest thing.

I like the MKVI, but for Edition 30 owners it isn't so much of a step forward as a step back to a standard MKVI GTI. I would also say that the Scirocco R and Golf R would be  a step forward, but I don't personally believe it is enough of a step forward to justify the change

A couple of standard Mkvi's have clocked 220+bhp on the rollers so maybe moving from an ED30 to a MK6 wouldn't be a backwards move? My Mk6 is revo'd to 275 and am very happy with it.

Well then yours isn't standard is it.

Most people won't remap their MKIV for fear of invalidateing their warrenty. If you want new bulbs go on www.powerbulbs.com as you get a 10% forum discount

I also share the same view as Hurdy, the extra cost of going to a MKIV is just too much for such a small upgrade. Plus I don't have the money lol

Going back to a mark 4, Alan, or just a typo matey...?
