Was a bit tired to post last night (mrs giving me grief about bringing the laptop to bed) 


So looking forward to Sunday.

The car was very tight and the chap only lived about 2 miles from the dealership, passed it on my way to his house.

The interior is superb, doesn't show the mileage at all - from what he'd said I expected bad bolster wear on the drivers seat but not at all.

It felt significantly quicker than the standard Gti but he says it's definitely standard in the engine department, must be a beast once mapped 

What kind of power do these things rolling road at standard?, are VW being conservative stating 230Bhp

It's such a nice car and it feels very special to drive, a step up again

On an accurate Rolling road    (), expect what the manufacture states 227+/- 10%. Mine, apart from one instance, got at best 236bhp.There is a big difference in mid range grunt between GTi and ed30.Biggest difference is at high rpm that the power doesnt tend to die away like the smaller k03 GTi tended to.

Must be the mid/high end torque output then. What sort of torque output mapped then, 300+ Lbft?

[Phil Mcavity]

Mine was putting out standard 250lbs ft . Mapped ..yes around 280-300 Ibs ft stage 1.

On a accurate consistently repeatable Rolling road  at JKM expect what the manufacture states 227+/- 10%. Mine, apart from one instance, got at best 236bhp.There is a big difference in mid range grunt between GTi and ed30.Biggest difference is at high rpm that the power doesnt tend to die away like the smaller k03 GTi tended to.

most rolling roads show ED30 at around 245@flywheel. best to compare with cars on the same day/same dyno 
Expect a few more horses with higher octane fuel (99 RON)

remapped, expect a huge difference....

Just done a bit of research on the av kit installed in the car and the TV system is the one here with twin receivers and twin high gain flat glass ariels

The Head unit is this one which seems to get mixed reviews, but is pretty good and stable after loading the latest firmwear.

So I'm pretty chuffed with that little lot, the picture and sound off freeview was excellent!

Roll on Sunday 

[Phil Mcavity]

sleep ok last night True-Blue??, tonights will be worse, and Boy o boy, saturday night.... well forget any kind of restful sleep 

[true-blue]

Going by train to pick it up and the wife's coming with me, can relax then and really enjoy the drive home 


Hopefully I'll sleep ok 

[Moschops]

Wahey...one more sleep...

[true-blue]

Wahey...one more sleep...

I wish, not collecting till Sunday ..... My Gti goes tomorrow and although it's one of the best cars I've owned it also now holds the record for shortest period of time I've owned a car.

..........the pull of the ED30 was just TOO strong.

Does it beat my record of spending 21995 for my GTi, and selling 3 weeks later?? 

[celica]

how was the drive compared to the gti?

if you don't mind me asking, how are you exchanging £. or you going armed with notes, bankers draft, online payment before etc.?
