Not a beat missed, although it goes through oil like my old Civic did.

Great to hear you're enjoying the car - think I have realised where I have seen it before...wasn't this for sale at Volkswizard? Still, looks great all cleaned up  :smiley:

Oh, and yours isn't the only ED30 which uses oil - mine seems to as well. I'm not used to it, as my old 1.8t never needed a drop between services, even when modded with an S3/TT turbo! Guess I just need to be used to checking the oil more often on the mk5...

Car is stunning bud.

Nice to see an edition 30 with xenons too. Makes the front of them IMO.

If you've any interest in selling it in a few months time, drop me a PM.

I don't think so. I did think that, don't quote me on it :)

Thanks - yup, I cannot believe they made a special edition and it didn't come with xenons as standard. A bloody RenaultSport Clio 172 PH2 comes with them as standard.

Been a while since I updated this thread.

Anyway, put the car up for sale at the start of month but it didn't generate much interest, I put it down to the 90 odd k mileage and high asking price. Although I think it's worth every penny due to the spec. Reason for sale was because of R32 noise. I then realised after not much interest and the fact that I would be hard pushed to find the same spec as my current ED in R32 guise. So I decided to keep it and rejuvenate the love with a Revo map.

So I went to Northampton Motorsport today and got a Revo Stage 1. Great service and would definitely recommend them to anyone in and around Northampton.

They say it would be around 300bhp and 300 ft/lb - it certainly has picked up it's pace. Very happy with it. It could probably do with being AWD as you can feel it trying to spin up even in dry conditions. I need to stop using pauper fuel now and crack out the VPower as that's what it is mapped for.

Will see how the MPG side of things increases/decreases after a few weeks and using proper fuel.

Always good to hear of a rekindled love. Keep at it and it'll be worth it.

Using higher octane fuel should see higher fuel economy as it burns cooler and slower so the map adjusts for this and uses slightly less fuel so better economy. Of course, that's under normal driving, not hard down on the go faster pedal.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

That's it for mods. Perfect as it is. Going to get the wheels refurbed, new centre caps and some new mats. That's about it probs.
