Will be going for a Golf R or RS4 in a couple of years. Would love to keep my ED30 as well as a fully stipped out play thing for the weekends but needs must!

golf r then all your current mods can be transfered :happy2:

my stage 2+ ed30 is the lowest powered car i have had in 5 years but its the best car i have owned, you cant drive flat out everywere ( i try :laugh:) and the car has to be able work well in your day to day life. i was going to buy a focus rs and was given a car for 4 days and while it would be more fun at the track, the 19s paired with those seats made life hard

I will be going for Golf R as next car too, but I dont think ALL your mods can  be transferred as the Exhaust is different on ED30 to Golf R (2WD and 4WD, different turbo downpipe meaning different turbo back, intake systems may fit?.

Quite fancy a stage 2+ Golf R  :laugh:

mods that fit
downpipe
hpfp
intake
engine mounts
meth
rns 510
BT
MDI
brakes

mods that dont
cat back
springs
anti roll bars

Astra VXR 280ps with a proper LSD.

All the reviews ive read of this new Astra VXR pretty much say its awesome.  None of the flaws of the previous car.

Probably nowt but haters on here, but it looks pretty tidy through the esses on this vid.

As it seems to be better than a Golf there'd be no need to mod it... :rolleye:

I think the blue doesnt help with the chavvy look.  A more neutral colour like black would help alot i think.

Like you say proper brakes(2 piece as well), awesome recaro seats, a mechanical diff, plenty of power, adjustable suspension settings, a 100,000 mile warranty......theres not alot to pick a fault on here other than its a vauxhall.  

You cant deny it, they have really upped their game and look like they are directly targeting the Renault Meganne for the hot hatch title.

From what i have read the Corsa VXR Nurburgring edition is quicker than the Clio RS200 as well.  

I hated the previous Astra VXR, but im definitely going to be taking one of these for a test drive wheni get home.  Might even see if i can find a megane RS to drive the same day for a comparison.

I'm leaning towards a nicely specced mk6 gti to replace mine when the time comes  :happy2:

Is a Bavarian replacement no longer on the list Steve?  :smiley:
I genuinely have had a headache for over a year on replacing the GTI. I think I'm forced into a diesel bus purchase next with property commitments, so the A3 Black Ed tdi, MK6 GTD and e92 325d remain on the list  :chicken:

Still yet to be won over by the MK6 in general, but a 3door GTD makes most sense coming from a MK5 perhaps?  :stupid:

I'm a bit bored of my Polo and have itchy feet. But, I have a serious condition which makes me want to change car every 6 months.
