Purchased my self an Edition 30 just after the new year. I had a good time in an R56 cooper s with works kit, but felt it was time to move on to literally bigger and better things.
Bought the car off a friend who's had it from new, so I knew its complete history which was nice
Spec is metallic black, 3 door, manual with optional extras of arm rest, heated seats (not sure if these were optional?) and cruise control.
So far I have acquired some 42DD shift bushes and an EPC fast road dogbone insert which I'd love to fit if the weather improves just a little!!
Got the car booked in at Stattlers on Monday for a cambelt, waterpump and full service as its just approaching 40k and it's an 07 plate. Might be tempted to get the pre cat smashed out then as well
In the grand scheme of things my plans are to get it mapped - thinking r-tech as I've heard nothing but good things about them and their linear throttle map and new tiv development.
Also looking at an intake maybe a neuspeed p flo - I know twin take and maxogen get rave reviews but I can't justify the extra cost! With the remap in mind, I know I'll need to have a look at the clutch sooner or later so ideas/ recommendations are very welcome...
Finally chassis wise H&R springs are on the list with the walk kit and the brakes need attention - there's nothing specifically wrong with them, but they are pretty poor as a whole
so leaning towards the Porsche BBK for both performance and weight as opposed to the R32/S3 set up.
Oh and an rcd510 - Rcd300 is
Found a fellow ed30 parked up last week
both just as filthy as each other!
Got these to use with my Kestrel DA when the weather gives me half a chance
