E30Dom's Edition 30
« on: April 16, 2011, 09:45:27 am »
Hey all,

Thought it was about time i stuck some photos up of my Ed30... So far all i've done is LED number plate bulbs, LED sidelights, satin blacked the VW badge and removed the GTi badge on the boot... oh and given it it's first detail...

She's going in MOnday for a new water pump and cam belt under warranty which will sort the scuufing/squeaking noise cominig from the engine... Then Having the 40k service done in May by APS and should get their Stage 1 remap at the same time...

Future mods include ITG Maxogen CAI, Milltek TBE, Twintercooler and Stage 2 map, with lots of suspension mods, coilovers, ARB's, UNibrace, bushes, TD pr1.2s etc...

Here she is now...





























Thanks for looking...

Dom

OK, so have had some luck...

VW agreed to replaced the water pump under warranty to fix the squeaking... along with thi sthey replaced the cambelt and tensioners... Also because the service light came on 1 month after owning the car I had a little moan, so they offered to give a complimentary service, a 40k/4 year one which got them to include spark plugs...

So she was all up together, but the service didn;t included brake fluid... So, have been in contact previously with APD Performance down here in Dorset about the service, before I knew i was getting it FOC, so got them to change the brake fluid to SuperBlue and put in a new air filter... as this wasn't part of the service ?!?! weird...

While she was there I had them put REVO stage 1 map on as they are Revo dealers, and boy has it transformed the car! Absolutely awesome...

This weekend I gave her another polish, but also was getting sick of the usual prob of rusty bells on the brake discs... so went from



too...



More to come...

Thanks to JKM Rolling Road day I was able to see what difference the Revo Stage 1 remap gave, Thanks APD Performance!



But has got me wanting more...

Future Mods will include;

Milltek TBE with sports cat
RS4 Fuel Valve
Uprated HPFP
ITG Intake
THS Intercooler
Revo Stage 2 map...

With that I'll need;
Uprated clutch
LSD
Bigger front brakes!
