Martin's Tornado Red DSG Edition 30

[Martin_jk]

So I've been very quiet on here since i sold my ed30 in April, I actually bought a mk4 R32 as I've always wanted one, here's a couple of pics of the one I got

 


I had it for a month and sold it, it was an awesome car and was an unbelievable spec (running 300bhp with all supporting mods) and the sound was amazing but it made me realise that I'm getting old as it was VERY uncomfortable plus the Mrs hated it lol at least I can say I've owned one now though

So since selling the R32 I've been looking for another car & wasn't sure what to get but today I  have found exactly what i want in my budget, all being well I'll have it tomorrow so will put some pictures up on here not going to say what it is yet though I'll let you all guess until I update tomorrow ;)

Well, that is one lovely R32. Think they are going up in value now / you can own one without losing money?
I still really miss my mkiv - my ED30 is a great car, but having had a very well tuned mkiv 1.8t with K04 turbo, I would have liked an R32 as a further transition.
Look forward to reading about your next car!

The R32 was a lovely car tbh & the sound it made was epic plus 300bhp N/A engine was mental but a little too much sometimes, I think the value is definitely creeping up slowly too like you say!
The ed30 is a brilliant car I just got sick of the lack of traction in the end, I wouldn't blame you for getting an r32 one day though it did feel very special on the road & got a lot of attention.

Fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day :)

Thanks :) tbh blue was my first option but after seeing a grey one I changed my mind! The 4wd is unreal, I went out tonight & the traction light didn't flicker once very impressed.

Congratulations Martin - that looks bloody awesome.

Need to see this one in the flesh. I can't believe I missed the R32, not been on here for a while.

I'm still car-less at the moment. Got other priorities.

I really do need to get back into a Golf though.

Thanks Rash, it is a really nice clean example, pictures don't do it justice tbh!

Your welcome to come and have a look anytime mate :) didn't have the R32 long but it was a lovely car!

Oh really, sometimes how it goes isn't it!

Yeah I can imagine you have the itch to get back in a golf by now! Are you considering getting another when your in a position too?

That 6R is pretty much what dreams are made of Martin. Will be a definite contender once the ED30 becomes boring although that may be a few years yet 

Stunning colour and spec too. Great find 

P.S, All is well with your old ED30

Hi Pete, hope you are well? Thank you :) she is a beauty! Haha yeah it is a brilliant upgrade from the ed30 you will be tempted when winter comes & traction is a nightmare ;) although I did love the ed30 in every way, definitely missing the power atm as the Mk6 R is standard, stage 1 is in order I think!

Yeah I'm very happy with the colour actually I originally wanted blue but glad I went with grey now! I was quite lucky with the spec too, needed it as the ed30 had everything so would have missed it on this one.

Glad to hear the ed30 is all good though mate keep having a nosey at your thread, looks like good progress so far! You got any more mods happening soon or you just sorting other bits & bobs for now?

Hi Martin, All good here thanks. Yeah, i can imagine. Im still at the stage where im astounded how quickly it picks up in 2nd and 3rd.

Not any mods in the works at the moment, but just getting a few service/wear items done. The next mod will be a full TBE, and then off to R Tech for a Stage 2 Map. Got my insurance at the start of next month so going to get that out of the way then look for an exhaust and get the map sorted.

Glad your all good :) I know the torque is amazing isn't it! That's what I'm missing on the R atm, sounds like your doing everything in the right order though get everything done before the remap! What exhaust you going for? Bcs I hope? ;) you will have to let me know what she's already running when you get the map done aswel always been intrigued I know it's definitely not stock lol

Yep, No point going power made and then having a car that can't handle it. It will either be BCS or Miltekk. Ill give you a shout once R Tech have had a play. Won't be for a few months yet, but its definitely not stock.
