Rush of blood to the head..... ED30, ED30, ED30
« on: May 10, 2009, 07:03:22 pm »

Just taken a deposit on my Gti which I've only had for about six weeks.

Two reasons really,  I like my cars to look smart as much of the time as possible..... I'd forgotten what a PITA black cars are

Note to self....... :mad:  NEVER buy another black car.

Secondly, jelous of all you ED30 owners...... gota get one  :driver:

Quick moving! From planning mods and advertising wheels to taking a deposit on the car in next to no time!
Who bought it, was it a friend or were you secretly advertising it somewhere?  :laugh:

Still, an ED30 makes a lot of sense if you're going to modify as the initial gains with just a re-map will result in more bhp than a highly modified 200PS model. I know that's not the full picture but it's a darn good start!

Silver or grey come recommended for not needing too much time being spent washing it. Red's okay too unless it's been neglected.

Had a listing on Ebay as a tester more than anything else (only cost about £12). Had kinda decided to stick with the Gti, but had a call from a chap in Cardiff this morning. just about gave me enough time to get the car cleaned, he shook my hand and handed over £500 deposit - coming to get it next saturday.

hunt's on now for an ED30 in the right colour.

Silver would be great, managed to get very deep glossy glass like finish on a silver beetle turbo the wife used to own - looked clean even when quite dirty.

Ah cool, that was okay then. Nice to see there is still good demand for mk5 GTIs. I think the mk5.5 being uglier and more expensive helps!

Got the fun of hunting for another new car ahead of you now!

Had a quick look, seem to be loads of Black ED30's out there but Silver, white, Grey, Red in that order is my colour preference.

I'm taking the next step in my cars "coloured history on Wednesday. GIAC DSG remap :evilgrin:

Uprates the DSG's clutch handling capability to 500nm, which I need because I'm currently running 513nm.

After that the DSG Quaife LSD will go in. :drool:

12's at the pod await me :evilgrin:
