Stunning Nath, but i wouldnt expect anything else from you! Are you being treated for your OCD still!

Stunning car Greenhouse....testiment to your efforts.

I haven't seen your mods all the way through but a couple of questions...

What suspension are you running?

If just springs has it effected ride quality and improved handling as I am considering KW's for my Ed 30.

What size are your wheels....ie are they standard CH's in 8.5 x 18's for MK5 or do you run spacers?

Have you mapped it?

I'm considering APR mapping, KW's and some Tarox brakes (12Pots).

Did you keep you Pescara's?

Stunning body work using Dodo products....I use Zymol which I find is very good but time consuming.

The Ed 30 was choosen over an E46 M3/Evo MR340 and an R26R Megane as the Golf did everything I needed.

Hey Ian, thanks for the kind coments!

The car has Eibach Sportline springs, I haven't really felt any difference in the ride 'comfort' if you can call it that!

The wheels have a 44 offset and as such they sit nicely in the arches over the Pescara's. I have ran 10mm spacers with my black huffs.
Car is Bluefin ST2 with a TB Milltek non-res and I love it!

Sold the Pescara's the first week I owned her.

Cheers

Cheers Tom!

No haven't had the seats done as yet as all funds were diverted to the .:R fund! Would hope to have them done for inters but may not be able to!

Great pics Nathan.

Looks a whole lot better than when I saw it

Nice to see the first pic of the Silver Lady too.

Just found this nath,

car looks stunning as everyone else has said, just a shame about the OSIR grill

im not buying any OSIR stuff anymore as none of it ever fits perfect! as i mentioned i got mine (ebay copy) and it fits perfect, is 100% carbon and only cost 70 quids (i think there about 150 now) but seriously undersatisfied with OSIR.

What did the TTShop say? did they ever ring you back?

PS im not parking my car near yours tomorrow

Greeners · « **Reply #116 on:** June 05, 2009, 02:03:04 pm »

Cheers Joe, don't worry about parking next to me as we may all look the same, wet!

We (SteveP and I) did contemplate the E-bay jobbies but being only around a third less than the OSIR one we didn't want to take the gamble. I think you fell lucky with yours. The good thing with having the OSIR one is I have the TT shop to fall back on and so far they are being very fair and are concerned at with the problems I have had.

I will report on my progress!

Well as it's been 5 months since I last updated so thought I better make the effort!

Now the .:R has gone I thought I would treat the ED as she's been a bit neglected the last few months...............

Quick refresher pic from Edition38 and Tatton Park................

With the 2nd Ring trip of the year looming I took the oppurtunity to address the ride height issue I have had with the car and to hopefully improve the ride comfort.

Before:

A quick dose of these (AP coilovers):

Resulted in this:

Really impressed with these coilovers so far, the ride has been up and down a few times as I haven't yet found my perfect ride height. Big thanks to Steve and the 'Broom of Doom' while we were at the Ring!

Next up was the obligatory BSH catch can and while I was @ VWR I had a set of fast road pads to help me out on track until I can locate me an S3/Cupra set up!

So that brings us up to today and a big thanks (again) the the Boss man for his assistance in fitting my new ITG CAI!

It really is a quality piece of kit and I can more than see where they get the price for these things from as they are superbly engineered. Great sound to!

I returned home then to seal and wax my freshly painted VZ's, a slight altercation with the kerb on the Chunnel back in June resulted in this,
