Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..

[jonnyc]

it would ADD weight!!!!

Errrrrghhhh! 

[Hurdy]

Have you asked x5pea where he went for his steel arch extensions. A very good job was done there and it still looked OEM. I understand they cut off the original lip and welded in sections and then added the original strip back on.

Yeah I did speak to those guys but the quote the gave me for the work was pure comedy!

I have a hacksaw, plastic and some no more nails if that's any good, otherwise I'm running out of ideas

The only context I have for 255 is dangsr on golfmkv, but as you implied - it is done by maxxing out camber

Thanks mate I had been looking for that thread..

Yeah he's on 8.5's too.. Im wanting to run 9's all round.. 255 is a bit marginal on an 8.5" rim.. Lots of sidewall flex!

I'm sorry Jonny,

there's no way around it, you just have to have this kit, it's simply a must have item

So Jonny, what are you up to today with the Eddie?

[animal]

I'd love to see the Bildon kit on a white ED30...  I'm sure a decent body shop could get the ED30 front splitter and rear diffuser to fit? All that carbon would surely save weight over adding metal with arch extensions?

Today I have mostly been spending money on it lol.. Oh and fit the Red Pro Race wheels back on too..

Having a full day on the car tomorrow to.. Fit VWR Race engine mounts / Light weight battery / Race anti-roll bars / Adjust the suspension and re set-up / take as much weight out as possible from anywhere we can get to!!

Then Wednesday im getting a set of Pole Positions back in it..  

Then in a couple of weeks the Race suspension, Aluminum suspension components, Race brakes, Carbon bits should be done.. Which will just leave the challenge of fitting the wide wheels and tyres on it!! I have a feeling that will be a nightmare, I dont want to run anything more than 2.5 degrees negative camber..

I want the car to look as OEM from the outside as possible really.. Not into all the wide arches etc etc.. The front wings will be made from carbon and painted, and the rears will (hopefully) just be pulled, so it will be very subtle when finished.. And should loose weight in the process too..

Sounds good to me. I don't plan on any (obvious or non-OEM) external mods to my car either... If it doesn't make it faster or lighter, it's not for me. As always Jonny, loving your style!

Looking forward to seeing whats happened in a months time 

[phil_c+p]

At last I find the build post...

As always   

I need that power - swap you the kit off my car
