Unfortunately I inadvertently collected treatie pie on the way to Pistonheads Sunday Service where I was met by the comment 'are you aware there is a dead bird on the front of your car', tp was carefully removed (with no damage to the golf) once some sandwich bags and napkins were sourced and laid to rest in the garden are of Renault Nissan

The additional wings did not aid the aero package and were a little detrimental to the inter cooler performance and will not be part of my Stage 2 plans going forward  :evilgrin:

a few small touches for the Ed35

a bit of bling for the engine

before shot



and now looking far better

Unfortunately the gloss black (visually more hidden) exhaust trim now shows that the tips would look better if slash-cut (angle cut) - IMO.

....I was only worried in possibly being a bit too 'honest' in my opinion  :smiley: Glad you obviously feel similarly.

I wonder if I can guess the finish!  :wink:

I recomend the DD42 Shifter bushings to go in that cable end fitting.  Makes a nice difference and give a more sturdy quality & sporty feel imo

What is the benefit of switching to that linkage?  are you going to modify it to make it a shorter throw?  Damien Egan (Damoegan) on here can do it for you quite easily are far more cost effective way of getting shorter throw compared to Forges offering

Love the car mate  :drool: :drool:

mike the s3 does have a shorter through but not quite to the extent of the VWR one i took off the rocco which is fine by me, also at £28 from the dealers they are a bit of a bargain :)

I had a look at the DD42s and they look quality items and will be considered if the S3 set is not to my liking

just finalising the game plan for Inters as waiting for a few bits and pieces to become valuable but suspension, arbs, engine mounts, the and stage 2 will be done

What does the REVO map give the ED35? Same as the Ed30?
