Hi guys! Well i joined the forum around 9 months ago as i was starting the search for a Mk5. After looking round the forum for about....
... 3minutes i decided i had to have an Edition30. I waited so so patiently for the right one to come along and...
5 months later after a 10 hour round trip to perth and back i had (almost) exactly what i wanted sat on my drive. I literally enjoyed every second of the trip back!
4 months later i decide its time to introduce myself and the car.
It has just the options i wanted (DSG, winter pack, nav, highline) minus a few i REALLY wanted (MFSW, rns510, cruise). However i realise all these are pretty simple retro fits.
Got a few plans for her so far. In about 3 hours she will be sat on R-Tech’s rollers having a stage1 map and DSG software thrown on (this I am super excited for!). I already have an ITG Maxogen fitted.
In preparation for this I sourced myself a full set of 345/310 S3 brakes which I have fully refurbished. These will be fitted along with a Superpro anti-lift-kit, Superpro wishbone bushes and an H&R rear ARB courtesy of Alex @ AKS. The wishbone bushes are going into some S3 ally arms aswell.
Before she goes on the rollers ill have fitted a revision G diverter valve, revision N PCV valve and a new fuel pump cam follower.
Anyway I LOVE the car, and after today I expect I will even more!
Hope to get to a few meets now. I’m a regular at the DubFiction monthly meet in the High Peak and I will try my best to get around to some others.
Cheers
Steve
