Hello from New Edition 30 Owner
lswed30:
Hello chaps,
Hello I'm over on the golfgti.co.uk forum and one of your members 182 blue? let me know about this site so I thought I would pop over and say hello.
Three weeks ago I purchased an Edition 30. After much deliberation over a std GTi or R32 I found out about the Edition 30 thanks to you chaps it was then a toss up between this and the R32 I found the 30 to be a bit more of a laugh in a lift of oversteer way..... Yes I'm talking rubbish lol, in actuall fact I found both of them a hoot but I resented the prospect of paying £400.00 road tax on the R32.
The one I have is an EX VW Car (the first owner is actually VW, not a dealer, actually VW), its only 6 months old and has probably had the buggery thrashed out of it by some area manager but what the hell at least the engine will be nice and loose and it goes Really well for 230hp in a lard arse of a car. Overall I'm well chuffed with it. its a really good laugh and if you drive normally I've got 35mpg on a trip.
I'm slowly changing a few things on it, as you can see I've made a few goodies for it allready. I really didn't like the stock gearknob so I made a ST/Stl one and engraved it, this looks the nuts and helps the shift out no end. I am also making a short shift kit to try and take out some of the slack.
I dont think I will bother mapping it just yet as its good enough for me but I HAVE to sort the brakes out I find them really over servoed and just cack I think this a typical VW/Audi trait?. I'm building a kit up at the moment using some Audi bells/rotors and some 6 pot calipers, I've just got to machine the carriers then jobs a good'un.
Check out some pics of the beastie if you like

Welcome LSWed30 ! great intro :)
Stunning car ! 8)
I love the gearknob, nothing like holding onto a good weighted steel knob ( did i just say that :confused:) :signLOL:
awesome keyring too !!!!
you'll get used to the brakes, once you do you'll love em ! Not sure about high speed stops though anything above 120 and they squeal like little mess piggy.
What calipers you using for your project ? Audi RS Carbons or POrsche ? !!! :jumpmove: look forward to the pics .
