Newbie on the hunt for a EDT 30!
« on: May 14, 2012, 08:49:33 pm »
Hi Guys,

Just signed up and thought i would say hello !

Im currently on the hunt for a Edition 30 DSG 3dr have a 13k budget to play with (when the loan comes through. The standard GTI appeals too but would need to have some extra's to convince me to sacrifice that extra 30bhp (leather Xenons, Sat Nav etc)

currently driving an Seat Ibiza FR PD130 remapped to 175bhp by Awesome GTi (car is going up for sale soon if anybody is interested ill post details) only had it a year but it doesnt really excite me enough so im moving on...

I enjoy drivers cars before the ibiza i had a Civic Type R which i miss greatly, so im hoping to get back some of that feeling with Golf with the addition of refinement as well.

Anyways just a quick hello, and hopfully ill find one soon !

Cheers

Syy

Welcome along fella.
Good luck with the search, hope you get the one you want. Took me a while to get my ED30 in the spec I wanted but its worth the wait, cracking car IMHO!! ED30 has plenty of room within the engine for modding with it's k04.
On this forum you will need ALL of that 13k as the slippery slope will soon take hold!!

Cheers Bud  :happy2:

Ive found a few i like the look of, so gonna go see them soon. Gotta get the Ibiza sold first its a well looked after car and has low mileage and full dealer history so i dont think ill have a problem selling it. I just cant be without a car for too long so i hope one comes along soon.

Looking forward to getting the golf ive heard nothing but good things about them.  :smiley:

lol yeah i always get bitten by the modding bug  :smiley:

Just one question about the golf actually, does it have iPod connectivity as standard ?

The difference is only 30bhp to start off with (along with all the extras over std GTI), when you start tuning the difference gets much wider, Stage 1 GTI 245hp stage 1 Ed30 300hp, stage 2 GTI 270hp stage 2 ED30 330hp

K04 is great for tuning and since you joined here you will be spending shed loads modding before you know it  :happy2:

Car sales are slow at moment, thats not good news for you selling, but good news for negotiating on a new one (swings n roundabouts).

I think Ipod con was an option.

Just one question about the golf actually, does it have iPod connectivity as standard ?

I have the iPod dock in the armrest and don't use it, pain in the backside to use. Get yourself a motor with a RNS510 (a great OEM touch screen DAB Sat Nav' head unit) or RCD510 (slightly cheaper touch screen, possibly DAB, head unit) which both have an SD Memory Card slots and much better. Both can be retro-fitted to the ED30 if your car does not come with one, there you go, we are spending your money already and you haven't got the car yet!!

Cheers for the advice guys been trawling through auto trader, piston heads etc etc today and found a beauty which i fell in love straight away but somebody got to it literally minutes before i did...pretty soul destroying

Still the search continues....

Ok cool ill add the RNS510 to my list of "would likes" then (not making my search any easier are ya guys lol)

Do you know of any other sites other than eBay, PistonHeads Auotrader i should be searching on ? Enthusiast sites such as this one for example ?

i did see that one yes, amazing car  i agree it is basically brand new !

Was considering an offer but i thought 13k would be too much of a drop from his £17.4 asking price.

Ill give it a go see if it goes anywhere...
