i have to say it was a close call between the Bilsteins and the new VWR AST setup, was massively impressed by the ASTs on their rocco and new two way was the way to go on a road car, the bit that put me off was you needed to lift the scuttle panel to adjust the fronts

Ed35 tips will probably make way for gloss black (which should arrive next week) to tie in with the diffuser more

final part of the mods undertaken are engine mounts, oddly when the Ed35 arrived i had second thoughts about doing these as its really a refined car, at Revo HQ i was tempted by theirs (they have refined the damping a bit to the previous incarnation) given the quality of them, on the Ed35 i wanted something between the THS and Vibratechnics in terms of feeling and feedback and Revo wanted some critical customer feedback on these

I have to admit i was a bit nervous about this one but have to say i really like them as they work really well as a package and the subframe kit slightly less harsh than the Vibratechnic set up i ran on the roc (i think its because i am now getting old), some vibration on start up, but not much when taking up the bite and the gear change is crisper, on the move their is a nice harmonic in the cabin but no real vibration, for me its exactly what i wanted on the Ed35 as wanted to tone things down a little from the rocco







car will probably stay in Stage 2 tune as i just love the way it feels and drives at the moment as a package, it feels like an old skool 80s/90s GTI and really reminds me of my old company 309 GTI Goodwood.

brakes and intake only other plans this year and maybe an alternate set of wheels

thought it was about time i gave a bit of an update on the 35

ordered a set of 35 dice from Germany



a few pics of the car at BVF last year











car had its first service so now time to get modding again

revo intake installed with smoothed TTS engine cover courtesy of markymark



the stock watkins glen wheels are a nightmare for clearing BBK even needing spacers on the APs, been toying with some lightweight wheels and wanted a change from TDs and decided to go for the TSW Nurburgring RFs in 18x8 in matt gunmetal



going to run Yokahama Advan Sport V103s as a change from the forum norm, wheels turned up today so hope to get them on for the weekend after they heave been sealed

attention now being turned to front brakes given i have a set of S3 rears ready to go on
  :happy2:


thanks for looking
