Rholtby Tornado Red Editon 30

[Rholtby]

Hi guys and gals. I've always been a fan of the Golf MK5 and originally wanted an R32 but due to changing jobs and losing put on a company car I chose to hunt for an ED30. A few months of hunting and this beauty popped up. I am so glad I went Ed30 I may be biased now but I think they are a better looking car than the R32.

What's be done so far
▪ New rear light
▪ Aftermarket VW style head unit
▪ Dbilas induction kit with new K&N filter
▪ DRL depo headlights
▪ Revision G diverted valve
▪ New PCV
▪ NGK laser platinum spark plugs
▪ 10,000mile service
▪ Gloss black badges
▪ stainless steel foot rest
▪ Pressed plates
▪ HID bulb upgrade
▪ wind deflectors
▪ chrome tipped window switches
▪ GTI seat inserts
▪ Eibach lowering springs (not fitted yet)

First things first was fit a new rear light as the passenger outer light was somehow warped inwards.

So here she is. I got her home and got a bit over excited and foamed all over the car 



Then she was polished with autogleam and waxed with



Then a pal decided he wanted to see my new toy, knowing it's better than his 



And that's it so far now I'm at work and taken the car for her first trip, with me, to France. Here she is waiting patiently while Eurotunnel cancelled my crossing for no reason

• I've ordered some Team Heko wind deflectors as ive had them previously on my fiesta and swear by them.ntheu may stop the water coming in the window too.
• An auxiliary input socket from ebay that should fit one of the blank spaces by the gear stick thingy, or ive noticed people have it fitted into the centre consol
• new pressed plates for when I transfer the private plate over,
• LED rear number plate bulbs
• black washer bottle cap & coolant cap
• the bottle opener, drinks holder that fits into the centre consol

That'll be all for a few weeks until I sell my Fiesta Zetec S then some minor changes will take place

• Tint rear windows to factory level tint
• Upgrade the stereo
• K&N panel filter/possibly induction kit
• Refurb the wheels Anthracite or Gun metal grey

Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks, Rob

Looking good mate

Sweet looking ride! I would say add a polo aerial to your list as its only about £12 and it does get rid of a certain RC car look that comes with the standard aerial.

Awesome car, in my opinion far better thar R32 which is heavy, consuming and has no tuning potential! 
Go for Gun metal grey wheels!

Thanks I'll have a look at those and get one ordered.

Thanks. After having a read about and speaking to a friend who had an ED30 he said the same thing about the R32.

Gun metal grey will most probably be the one unless anyone has any other suggestions.

Thanks for looking and appologies for picture quality, I'm an iPhone user unfortunately

What's the best place to get these parts ordered?

[Rholtby]

So added a few minor bits this week. I'll let the pictures do the talking

[Rholtby]

Also got some new pressed plates with my private reg waiting to go one when my plate holders arrive.



Also you'll see the other bits waiting to go on too

Lovely car mate - where did you get the black washer caps from?

Thanks. eBay mate but unfortunately I ordered the wrong one as its too small, I think this one eBay: 321528172937 from awesome GTI is the correct one

Old V's New




Oh and got this for a steal


Needed a bit of TLC

[Rholtby]

Hopefully I'll get it all back together tomorrow with new hose clips. I'll get a new filter for it ordered too at some pink as I don't think it's ever been replaced or looked after too well

[Rholtby]

Firstly I apologies for the picture quality. I'm an iPhone user

I've fitted my new head unit today. Unfortunately it's a Chinese copy of the VW original but all seems to work fine so far.



Only thing is I had a wire left over afterwards. Any ideas what it's for and how to connect it

She's a beauty. Lovely Eddy, enjoy!
