Newbie collecting an Edition 30 on Saturday - Hello
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:25:47 am »
Hi all:

Just thought I'd say hello as your site is fantastic.  I've already spent several hours on it browsing around - so figured I should introduce myself and get involved.

I'm due to collect an 07 plate 3dr Tornado red GTi Edition 30 DSG on Saturday and can't wait.  Ever since I experienced my friends Pirelli edition which has been remapped by Shark Performance, I knew I needed a GTi!  I've traded in a slightly newer 320d M-Sport Coupe so the GTi will feel rapid in comparison!    Plans are to drive it as standard for a few months to appreciate it, before starting down the slippery slope - Engine & DSG re-maps, induction kit etc.

Anyway, enough of my rambling.  Hello and thanks for all the great info on the site which has helped me no end so far!

Welcome from another Dom Edition owner!

Good choice is car! Check out the TR edition which has just been detailed in the detailing section for how they can look once polished up ;)

Good plan with the mods, even stage 1 transforms the car into a Q-car.

Thanks guys - will post some pics up after the weekend.  Really excited to collect her.  Believe it or not I actually tried E30Dom as log-in when I registered! Funny...

Will take a look at the detailling section now - I wasn't convinced by TR until I saw it in the metal, do like it though!

Welcome to the forum mate I am also in the first couple of months ownership of my ED30 same spec as yours DSG etc but mines grey also heading in the same direction ITG and stage 1 Revo and DSG software hopefully this year.

I'm sure you will love the car as I do mine it's worlds apart from the 2.0 CDTI Astra I owned previously.

Enjoy  :happy2:

 :happy2: Cheers all, appreciate the welcome. I won't be too far behind you Tamiyoman, reckon early summer latest - for remap at least but sure that'll start me on a very slippery slope... They're like mountain bikes (my other passion), there's always more bits to buy  :drool:

Yeah mines going for Stage 1 remap early April (after I get back from holiday) and then im saving like mad until I have enough for Turbo Back Exhaust, twintake and HPFP, while the HPFP is being done It was have the cam follower replaced (might even do intercooler if I can get a great price on them all in one go) but I think thats likely to be around £1700 without Intercooler so with will likely be around £2300!!, need to stop going on holidays and get saving!!

 :happy2: Cheers folks, collect tomorrow!  :driver: Will post some pics up soon though, as soon as it stops raining! Wow, Tamiyoman it is a slippery slope... There was me thinking I'd get away with a catback exhaust, engine & dsg maps and induction... Can see this site will cost me a fortune!  :drool:
