Haha neither! Its at vw hq atm as the dealer in st albans I went to couldn't find anything wrong, although they broke it in the first place! There most certainly is though!

My offer definately would be enough as haven't got much cash lying around but we'll see.

I take it you want that wide stance on your Ed30....which when done properly looks sweet as?

Oh that's good then, what did they do?


Well I'm look for wide stance and grip. Being stage I already and it's an animal!
Will be going stage II very soon! Intercooler came this morning so all is well and hopefully tbe later next week.

Tbh I'm stuck between stance and performance but I love both lol!

You can juggle both-ish. I'm told my car has a good stance but if stopped at the back will look even better. Its probably my wheels/camber but I topped 125 on the track before I went "this is too sketchy to continue". Stage 1 Ed30 will be better than mine...mines fast but just feels too heavy. Stage 2 will be a lot better hopefully. How's the move from the r32 to the gti?

Vw in a routine service managed to forget to tighten numerous bolts across the engine bay resulting in them flying across causing damage to various parts. "we cantnfind anything wring" they said!

Yeah that's what I'm going to do hopefully :)

Yeah stage I is mad! Well I had a stage II MKV GTi before the r32 so it's not so bad. The r32 just sounded amazing! We're ATM my MKV I'd standard apart from map, but as I said wont be long :)

My stage II GTi made about 270bhp that was bluefin though not like mapping! My ed30 currently on bluefin but will go love map when go stage II and III

Sounds wicked yours and just from a map! I did love the r32 and the miltek exhaust - you just wanted to drive fast to hear it! Just got to get stage 2 sorted now to complements the looks of my golf.

I need to trust my instinct more, No not in the forces although it seems where I live there is some sort of training base/garrison. On not so exciting graduate scheme!

Yep definately need to just trust the car more. Just with esp off. Got so many things lined up for January....not only for the golf - getting a new job hopefully. Wish I never went to uni, but its opened more doors for me so I can't complain.
