Edition 30 Owners previous rides

[gtipirelli]

Audi TT 2.0T Coupe - Brilliant red with 19" RS4 style alloys
needed something more practical when child number 2 came along. It was our second car but still needed for emergencies hence the Golf now

Haha, no chance. Why would I want to buy a car that is very slightly different to the one I have?

There's loads of previous cars threads. Seems daft to start another that alienates a lot of people on this forum.

Alienating previous owners was not my intention, seeing how many came from std GTI to Ed30 was my intention

You might get a better response if you worded your question differently. Why does it interest you by the way?

[Tamiyoman]

Why does anything interest anyone?, purely out of interest/Curiosity, not sure how else i can/should answer that question?

maybe its because as I personally upgraded from MK4 1.8T and wondered how many others did the same (natural progression?) or if they specifically wanted an Ed30 having had something totally different.

MK4 1.8T (rubbish) MK4 PD150 (awesome) MK5 GTI (even more awesome) ED30 because some scrote nicked it.

A mk3 Ibiza cupra. 210 bhp and a go-kart

This open to pauper owners of the totally inferior standard GTI?

Yes why not Andrewparker, maybe your next will be an ED30?

Interior, Exterior and engine, think that covers it  

Or one could say engine internals, Turbo, Bodykit, Wheels, Complete Inerior, quite differebt really

2 x Standard Mk5 GTi's and in between a Passat Estate 170 DSG in between the 2 GTi's.

Larger Turbo from S3 (K04) rather then the K03 on the GTI
87°C thermostat instead of 80°C
Larger capacity fuel injectors (13% higher flow)
Engine block main bearing caps, pedestals are reinforced
Conrods have larger rod bolts and new bearings
Pistons have 21mm gudgeon pins instead of 19mm
Piston top ring is improved
Recirculation Valve (blow off valve) not located on turbo
The Audi S3 and the Edition 30/Pirelli/Seat Leon Cupra R share the same short block, same turbo and similar intercooler.

Thats just the engine, then theres interior, Wheels, colour coded.............

Wow, I'd be enlightened, but I (like 99% of normal people) don't know what most of that means, so it's complety irrelevant.

To most people you get a Golf that is a bit faster and that has bland wheels.

Fair point, for me it was a choice made with the potential for tuning the engine. And the wheels are far from "bland". Monzas in my eyes only really suit a candy GTi. Got any white worm yet?
