Re: Joff's Edthurty....mini update.

Small update..

Well ive had the car just over a month now and the slippery slope has finally started :ashamed:.

I was originally going to go stage 1 , but quite enjoying the car as it is.

But one thing that definatley needs some attention are the brakes, they are pants and look so weeny sat behind the pescys!

Also i think the car just needs to sit a little lower to finish it off.

Soooo....

Car booked in tommorow for :

Front brake upgrade (TT's upgrade)
H&R springs

All work to be carried out courtesy of Statllers.

Then the cars booked in for a full detail on wedneasday.

And then thats it......( i really dont need to get it mapped  :laugh: :laugh:!!!)

Small update...

Ive finally bit the bullet and took advantage of the Revo discount offer and decided to have Stage 1 Re-map and DSG st2 map put on the car .
Really chuffed with the results, completley transforms the cars performance , although not the best conditions at the moment  :driver:

This is how the car sits at the minute ...(pic slightley tweeked on photobucket  :ashamed:)



So the curerent mods are:

Stage 1 map
Stage 2 DSg map
25mm drop on springs
TTs front brake upgrade

So you could say im on the slippery slope again :laugh:

So what would you guys do next ?????

Ive got some spare £££ burning a hole in my pocket ?????????? :smiley:

looking good so far very nice  :smiley:

an intake if you dont already have one? would always be nice. i went for neuspeed p flow on my ed 30, then maybe turbo back system and your stage 2 ready  :happy2:
Or i'd probably say a WALK kit and maybe some ARB's would also be nice dependant on budget.

Cheers Rhys,

Im thinking the car needs a bit more noise really so im probably going to go down the TBE route with an intake, although im not sure what intake is best, i had am evoms on my last ed30 and the noise from the inside of my car was a bit too much far me so i may need to do a little research.

Excuse my ignorance , but what is a WALK ???

Fair enough cant beat a nice soundtrack to go with the edition 30  :grin: I liked the neuspeed pflow one as it just suited my price range at the time and having been speaking with the guys at aersome it holds its own as far as power is concerned with the forge etc at double the p flow  price.  The itg is very impressive for power but then again people do say its a little noisey too.  The walk is a whiteline anti lift kit. http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/golfmk5/whiteline-anti-lift-kit-golf-mk5-mk6
excellent bit of kit, i did mine when i polybushed the front along with new ARB's so cant exactly tell you what its like on its own!! but with all the bits i did it made a massive improvement in handling and turn in feel.

I only know him from taking my car there for a wash/detail , seems a decent guy tho and does a pretty decent job from what i can tell.

He's got an Impeza and and Evo 7 in his unit , both look very well looked after motors.

I think his Mrs is the impreza , and she tracks it  :driver:

Very nice! Great Ed30 you have there.
Trying not to mod mine either - brakes are definitely what I want to do first (have the R32 discs from & rear bought already, saving for the calipers) - was a bit let down by the performance of the brakes when I went to Donington in December. Did you notice the extra weight of the brake upgrade much?

I saw the Revo offer - was sorely tempted, but the car still feels pretty quick enough for me now, and have a few other preventitive maintenance things I want to do first (cam follower, coils, etc). How do you think it has changed yours - mostly mid range or top end punch?
Is the DSG map worthwhile? Feels pretty quick to me already, so can't comprehend what a mapped one is like!

Well its been a while and I've been spending a few £££ on the old gal making her go a little bit faster , so I thought id do a small update.

So the new mods are as follows:

3" de-cat down pipe
3" BCS cat back powervalve system (ceramic black tips)
Evoms induction
Loba hpfp
Stage 2+ revo software

So with all the mods done I went on a lads weekend away to Bug Jam and managed a few runs ,best time I managed was 13.7 , was struggling to get traction , once I did get grip the car felt pretty quick with a terminal speed of 106 mph  :driver:






So with the performance side of things done I now I plan to get the Handling side of things sorted, so will be doing a bit of research on here and asking a few questions to you guys.

I also made the Mrs take a little video of a drive by at the weekend to see what a chav I sound like  :laugh:

Thanks for looking  :happy2:
