Edition_slims......edition 30 ;)
« on: August 29, 2013, 03:18:39 pm »
Guess I've been lurking far too long on the forum without a readers ride so here goes!

Quick into, I'm Slim (nickname, not a statement!)
Recently sold my 2003 Revo stage 2 LCR for something more economical in the form of an Ibiza Cupra TDi. That was on the request of the wife, who 6 weeks later left me.
Always one to make the best of a bad situation I decided this was the time to get a forced induction petrol again and feel the octane flowing through my bloodstream once more.
Budget was a little limited but managed to find this Edition 30 at a price I could afford





Nicely spec'd, including a bluefin remap to around 285bhp and RNS510 upgrade, plus heated seats etc.

Very soon the engine bay looked like this



And here's a few snaps I took at work

















Future plans include a milltek cat back non res system, just waiting for that to be delivered, and I have a H&R cup kit sat here waiting for time to fit, only a 20mm drop, just enough to get rid of the arch gap and some 10mm spacers on the rear.
Also need to figure out how to make the RNS510 Bluetooth to connect my iphone for both music and calls.

Looks a good example. Have you got a bluetooth module?

I've ordered an Xcarlink Bluetooth module, not sure if it will work or not. Failing that ill take it to an audio specialist.

Cars going in Friday for a full detail with some light correction work. By then I should hopefully have gotten around to fitting the Miltek exhaust and H&R cup kit too and the spacers.  :happy2

A few pics to update,
I've fitted the miltek now and the spacers, yet to get the H&R kit on yet due to work and illness :(
Given it a good clean today so here's a few pics, let me know what you think!

Great ED30 you have there - looks very sharp and cared for.

Nice mods list - have just added VWR springs & Milltek to mine. Made a great car even better. Which Milltek did you go for - Res / Non-res?


Edition 30 - no. 1387
