Thinking of bailing out on my ED30!!!!

[vRStu]

The hunt for the engine will be the biggest issue I think.  The Superb also comes with a detuned version of the same engine so might be an angle.

Why not get the Passat and turbo/supercharge it, they are awesome sleepers.  There are a few which are ex VW cars, OV09 xxx registered that were going cheap.

BMW M5  or M6. They've come down in price and 507BHP with a 5.0 V10 and a nice soundtrack. Not sure how many mods can be done to it but the M6 could be a serious weapon for you.

u need to come see my mates tuned up evo x rs with 530bhp its a beast and its in white too

nice soundtrack, but not as fast as one would think due to their weight.

Hurdy, return the ED30 to stock, sell the car and get the TT-RS as JonnyC says 

BTW first Dibs on the CF hood

I think you would be mad to sell after what you have spent on it recently, and on how well it goes without a big turbo and on how reliable it has been. However, I know the feeling that limited traction brings, even with moiunts, diff and sticky tyres. You simply cannot match 4 wheel drive at low speed for accelaration.

If you were selling, you would be wise to sell the modifications separately as the car is going to be worth the same with them on as without them so you would be throwing away cash selling it modified.

True but 0-60 in 4.6 it doesn't hang about, and that's standard.

strip ed30  back to std and sell bits, simple economics (but obv harder on things like LSD) imho

from what little I know of you john its the journey not the end point and something 'different'
like the idea of R32/6 , and in fact done right you may end up with a modified car worth more than its original value.
TTRS is amazing and the potential   , but would you 'finish' it too quickly?

does it have to be 2 or 4 doors?

other consideration is just go straight to a caterham/noble/gt3 fully prepped track car.

keep ed30 and get a litre motorbike?  

[gazbutS3]

first dibs on u brakes Hurdy

I hear Vespa are doing buy one get one half price  
Handy if you over mod one of them so you have a spare  

[Hurdy]

LOL, look like the brake and CF bonnet have a home when I sell then

TT-RS is a possible, but I just feel I need a project that is a little more unique in conception, hence the R36 in an R32 as not many have been down this route in the UK.

I'd hate to have a stock car as I like the fact that cars of the same base spec can be so different when modified.

I don't need a 4dr car anymore as we already have the town runabout with 4drs and a hatch  

So 2dr coupe's are a possibility as are more track focussed cars.

Just missed out on a decent specced Dark Blue '09 reg Cayman S the other day at a silly low price and would have had in a shot so I'm on the lookout for a decent base car at a good price if one comes along.

There is only one way to go for me if i was in your shoes.  And i would be away from the VAG scene.

Either an Impreza WR1


or an EVO X


get somethikng like them then, make it around 600Hp and get your self into time attack

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Those Japs are so 'in yer face', Sy. Judging by the way he's modded his Ed30 I'm not sure that's our Hurdy's style.

[Janner_Sy]

But id be willing to bet that with them in standard form and with equivalent power to weight as Hurdy's ed 30, they would be better to drive and much quicker, plus the modding scene is huge and varied with so many different routes to go.
