Beddie's Edition 35 - Back on track! :)

[rdfcpete]

Cracking car Steve  Winter setup looks very tasteful.

You more or less single handedly convinced me to purchase some AP springs with shots of your Ed30

[Beddie]

Cheers all! 
Makes the effort of keeping it nice and shiny worthwhile when people can appreciate the results, hard work too with Mrs Beddie aiming for every pile of mud on a daily basis... 

Forgot to mention the spec of No. 1644...

2008 '57'

Lovely looking car. Its a credit to you.
What are the Hankook Ice Bear W300 tyres like?

Cheers! 

Tyres have now been on for 4 days and around 300 miles and i'm impressed!, great wet weather grip and not noticeably louder on any road surface than the PS3s, slightly harder ride which may be down to stiffer sidewalls perhaps? Going to play with the pressures as i'm not sure whether i should be running them lower than the PS3s or not?
If the weather forecasts are to be believed i should get to give them a proper test when we head to Edinburgh this weekend... 

£390 all in for 4 via my local tyre place (price matched to Camskill)

[Beddie]

Phoaw!

Is that a Kangoo van in the background, how fast does it go Mista?

Winter spec Danza approved, dare I say, I think I actually prefer the Monzas. 

It doesnt... the speedo scale is in glacial shifts...

Got to say i'm very pleasantly suprised with the winter spec look, and whisper it, i think i do too....

Many thanks for the wheels and for taking the trouble to meet up etc, much appreciated!

Car looks absolutely cracking Beddie  . I actually prefer the anthracite Monzas against the red to your ED30 alloys! Makes it look a hell of a lot meaner

They sound good. Let us know how they are when the bad weather sets in. I'm after a set for my 17" for the winter, but a lot are out of stock. Would be intrested at that price.

Hi Beddie, Amazing looking edition 30, I pick mine up next week, I'm liking the mod list, one question, where did you source the AP springs from?  I really like the look the stance. Thanks

I got the springs through Volkswagen Racing but the exact same AP -20mm springs can be got from DPM performance for considerably less so give them a try first ;)

Just a quick update with some better pics than my usual driveway ones  































Very happy with the results and it transformed an already quick car into a bit of a weapon! Drives beautifully on the road and combined with the DSG box and Launch control makes for quite a ride...

The extra ooomph showed up a few weak points in the standard setup, most of all the shockingly bad brakes for a 300Bhp car! So, decided it was time for a bit of a modathon so a big box of bits were loaded into the boot and whisked down to PSI Tuning...

Whilteline WALK kit - To help with a bit more front end traction

Volkswagen Racing -20mm spring kit - Wanted to firm up the handling without going too low due to the bad roads round here

H&R front and Rear ARB's (26mm front, 22mm rear) - probably the most notable mod after the brakes

S3 345mm front brake kit - Nice easy OEM mod with HEL braided lines, Motul RBF600 fluid and Mintex M1144 to help things along

Left if looking like this [au]















Managed to grab a Carbonio air box and brand new ITG panel filter for a bargain, tbh no real noticeable benefit after fitting but it look cool haha!







Some random pics whilst out and about and at the Mega Meet, Harewood house and Tatton Park...
















































Rolling shots in winter spec  














Some action pics!  




















ED30, it's the only way to fly....

Always loved your car Beddie 

The ring shots are incredible!

[pipston]

Nice car mate, I think some inpro smoked repeaters would look good with the black/red theme going on.

It seems to me that mr steve p should rename this place "red mk5 golf gti forum" we are crawling in them!
