Carbon Grey Edition 35

[Edi35]

Wonder what power were getting on stage 2 ed35s? Was guessing 330 340? Also are u doing any sprints at gti this weekend?

Depends on which file you have 

No sprints this year I'll leave it to the dsg heros

There you go proof that DSG is better than old fashioned manual

Yep the only 13 seconds in a year it ever appeals

well Ed35 has been packed off for a few days to http://www.detailmyride.co.uk/ for Nathan to give the Ed35 so much needed tlc having now removed the Inters livery

ordered some furry dice and hoping they arrive for BVF



also want to preserve the oem 35 mats so got some genuine VW GTI ones



really loving the car at 60-70mph on the motorway it feels standard in terms of comfort, however, if you want to drive the thing it comes alive, chassis mods have really made the car feel so much more controlled, the additional ponies are also very handy for reducing your exposure when overtaking

next on the list is brakes....

i'll post some piccies following the detail as i want to tweak the rear ride height a little

All sounds very cool, so are you running stage 2 now?

It's running the latest Revo Stage 2 file (Revo have found fuiling improvements on later K04 cars) with linear throttle map, I'll get some dyno figures from Surrey Rolling Road at some point

The pork stoppers are boxster/cayman brembo 4 pots that work with stock 312 disks, currently being refurbished in red by brake legend DaveB, prob won't run them on ed35

They are may favourite two shots of the rocco

well its time for some long overdue pictures of the Ed35

car had some subtle branding for GTI International and i'd deliberately held off having the car detailed until after the shown and most of the mechanical modifications were done and Goodwood FOS was out of the way



car was shipped up the Nath and Gaz at detailmyride.co.uk for some much needed protection and removal of a parking door ding

Car looked on arrival at DMR HQ:

























First up, wash and decontamination! Wheels cleaned with AS Smart Wheels, and various brushes inc. wheel woolies, Arches/Tyres with AS G101.





Car was then given a pre-wash, badges/rubbers etc agitated with G101:









Following a 2BM wash with Auto Finesse Lather and Lambswool Mitts, decontamination with Iron X and Tardis revealed little in the way of any contamination!

Once pulled inside and dried off with microfibre towels, the only areas requiring any real correction were the black gloss trim and rear lights, which were tidied up with Meguiars D300 Correction Compound and Pads, before later being refined (pics pre-refinement)

Exhausts also cleaned up:





Paintwork was then cleansed with Lime Prime via DA, before applying Auto Finesse Tough Coat as the LSP to paintwork and wheels. Finishing touches including glass, tyres etc were completed and the interior detailed.

Please note in some of the pics tyres had second coat of Swissvax Pneu to the tyres, and had not been buffed so some excess is visible!

Finished pics:











































more than happy with the results as despite the weather water mainly beads off and its really easy to keep on top of things

i need to tweak the ride height at the rear as slightly to low and have some recommended settings from Bilstein so may try some a firmer set up, also exhaust tips need adjusting but been waiting for the gloss black set to turn up

i drove the Pirelli on the weekend for the first time in ages and it felt slow (despite Revo Stage 1) but biggest difference was how the suspension upgrades had sharpened things up and car just gives your more confidence

That poor little Eddie did look in a bit of a sorry state when it first arrived but what a great turn around, it looks ace now and is back to its gleaming goodness...

Was it expensive??

[R32UK]

Probably the nicest ed35 out there at the moment!! 

good to see someone adding a few performance mods... keep up the good work
