Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..

[TurboTrev]

How many mods can one man do, there can't be any more left, but I suspect there are!  Jonny get yourself down to The Golf Centre in Darlo again one Saturday morning so we can all have a bit of a drool.   I'm there every week and there's usually a few others.  In fact we'll have to have a mini NE meet there some time!  My black edition CHs arrive today for mk ED30, so I'll be showing those off this week lol.

Golf centre in Darlo? Not sure where that is.. Not been there before I dont think, unless im mistaken 

Yeah up for a little NE meet, free this Sat too..

It's Allan Fishburn's place - he does Revo remaps - unless I'm getting you confused with someone else, I think you've been there with your previous car (white GTI - coilovers, remap, R32 rear bumper, black CHs etc)?

Yeah, it was ages ago!  I was the old foggey with the black mk5 GTI (since sold) who nearly bought your coilovers. Are you up for it - if so, I'l post a message on the board and see if I can get a few more?

Hey mate.. Ah cool, yeah kind of remember, my memory isn't amazing though lol..

Yours is looking good too, should post up on your thread with a few plans etc, what look your after etc..

Dont think there is a lot more to sell out of my car to be honest haha, need everything thats in / on it now lol..

[tomoc2003]

Yeah no worries it was a long time ago....

I've got a couple of ideas, might start one to get some more ideas and different opinions, defo some from yourself
but mines going to be a slower process as am just finishing uni so money's tight 

Too right theres nothing left 

[Edition30]

WOW is all I can say, just got through all 50 odd pages, saw the S3 over on Audi sport and didnt realise you are only 22, hats off to you.

Cant believe I havent caught a glimpse of this thread before now. Im in the same boat as the other guy, finished Uni and need to frame myself and get a job to start modding. 4 weeks and I can be out on the open road again

  jonny ,keep up the good work :)

[Harm]

Cant wait to see this in person tearing it up the strip one day!

Loved your Audi and look forward to seeing this finished....

What brakes have you gone/going with?

[jonnyc]

What brakes have you gone/going with?

VWR 6 pots..  Should have them pretty soon hopefully, will be a huge weight saving and should work great too!

I've been thinking what I'd do if it was my Candy White. Quite apart from size and weight considerations, I'd choose a white rim. Black rims on white cars are so common now.

Not this particular rim, just to show white + white : -





^ Much more individual and distinctive without being bling or in yer face.

[prepree]

^^^Been thinking along the same lines, considering the below at the mo- can anyone with photoshop skill do a mod?

[jonnyc]

Robin, I very much agree that the black wheel / white car combo is very common now..

When I got my first GTI in white everyone thought I was mad, but white ended up being THE colour to have and again I stuck black wheels on it which was different but now you see it on everything.. I was considering white wheels but I thought they would look tiny in 17's and they would be a nightmare to keep clean etc..

Hmm, maybes ill surprise myself and go for something different lol..
