i have been having a few problems with the rear of the car banging and making a few other noises, i took it to vw to find out it was my rear neuspeed arb  :sad: it was putting too much strain on the drop links so after a chat and a look from the guys at awesome gti they are getting me some neuspeed drop links to see if this is the problem and are giving me these free of charge   :smiley:  as they need to know and need to let neuspeed know if there is an issue with the set up
http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=10782&xSec=157
so while i was there i picked up some eibach sportlines springs

Looking really good mate! Why did you decide to fit just springs?
i dont want a massive drop and i like the way the car handles so i just wanted a little drop but a bit stiffer and with the walk kit it should be good and give me what i want  :smiley: so its will do for now as i am going to be doing the brakes next and it looks like it might be the RS4 kit  :drool: but not for a few months  :evilgrin:

ED 30 is a people carrier not a hot hatch, lol, and i would say is could be the greatest handling hot hatch of all time, but not best hot hatch.

Is your car still in warranty? I know its modded but push vw for it doing under warranty. I got Audi (after kicking up a fuss) to replace my clutch,flywheel release bearings etc for on my modded s3.

I think dealers are hungry for work at the mo, BMW also have just done the diff on my brothers e46 m3 which is out of warranty.

good sh*t. you'll love it in a few months when you know exactly how do deal with it.

in a 10 mile que on the motorway it'd be a bitch, but when opening it up, it will feel great! ;)

bit of an update  :rolleye: i got these off the awesome gti golf gti as the car was being stripped down to be sold off as a stock car kw v3s
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fd122%2Fmat138l%2FfrontbumperandKWv3coilovers005.jpg&hash=629a8d09d4e1c8e916126757dfb34db8c1c8e4d3)
and i have a new vw front arb and bushes and front droplinks fitted as i had a knocking noise at the front of the car  :rolleye: blooming droplinks.
i fit the rear v3  and had vw fit the fronts while they had the subframe off for the arb doing and after that they did a 4 wheel alighnment and made sure all was ok. I had the car booked in at vwr today with Mark to set the v3s up as they had never been setup by awesome when they were on there car  :rolleye:.
I was told by Mark to make sure the car had a full tank of juice in it, so i turned up today and Mark stuck the car on the scales

Mark then set about setting the ride height and the amount of load that would be put on each corner of the car and then said go for a blast  :driver:  :evilgrin:, so after a quick drive i went back to vwr with a  :grin: on my face and gave Mark the keys and said go see what you think of it as you know what to look for.
Mark came back after 5 min or so with the same  :grin: on his face saying thats one of the nicest setups he has driven and is what there mk5 will end up like for the road setup  :laugh: and also said that my exhaust is F in  :evilgrin: and just loved the noise it makes as it growls and barks down the road and said if ever a car needs a diff its that one  :signLOL: but was very impressed just how smooth the power was but how quick it was  :grin:.On my drive home i noticed just how smooth and tight it felt in the corners and  round abouts are fantastic  :evilgrin:.
i would like to say a big thanks to Mark for being such a pro at setting my car for me and as always making me very welcome there  :drinking: oh and the xbow is stunning  :evilgrin:

 :happy2:

i would like to say if you are having coilovers on your that having them setup makes a massive massive change

The firm that I used to fit/set them up are quite knowledgeable and have years of experience of setting up race cars, and run their own MK5 on KW Clubsports. Obviously I got the 4-wheel alignment done, but didn't go for corner-weighting as I'd been told by a few firms that it wasn't really essential and that the MK5 was relatively easy to set-up accurately without it. Plus I was pretty short on funds.  :grin: :grin: If funds allowed, then I probably would have done it!

However, corner-weighting definitely is something I want to get done in the near future - just to see what difference it makes!

The reason that I was asking about tyres was just because of Mark's comments RE how well yours drove, and as tyres make such a big difference on handling I wanted to know what was on yours. I too have the Goodyear Assym's fitted on mine. A few months ago, Keith from JKM drove mine (before the Bilsteins were fitted) and commented that it didnt handle as well as other GTI's that he'd driven on stock suspension - and specifically asked what tyres I had fitted. I've found the Goodyears to be ok, but I think I'll go for some Michelin PS2's next!

Looking forward to seeing the pics of the new stance of your car Mat! Thanks again for answering my question  :happy2:

Post by: RedRobin on August 18, 2009, 12:06:24 am
....

Just a small detail like that black splitter makes a whole difference. The white shape that's left makes your car look much more aggressive.

Although I'm choosing OZ LeggyRita's for my throbbin' red one, I do think that your TD's have that 'track funky' look on your car.

:notworthy:
Title: Re: Another candy
Post by: MAT ED30 on August 18, 2009, 12:10:29 am
 :happy2: mine does do track days and it also fits with the look i am after for the car as once we get a brand new car in the next few years the car will be stripped out of everything and have a full cage installed and be my track toy  :evilgrin:

Update  :rolleye:
car had vwr lower solid race mount installed  :evilgrin:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5082.0
if you dont like to hear/feel the engine through the seat then this is not a mod for you as its loud  :grin: but god i love it  :stupid:

and also had the powerflex bush fitted for the arm too to take all the slop out of the arm and engine movement  :grin: it now does not move at all  :grin:
its like the one john fitted
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6995.0
 and to aid the walk kit powerflex bushes and its made the whole front end nice and tight.
The car was also in for the vw cup car brakes fitting too but after Mat had looked at them he said we are not going to put them on your car as they are all a bit worn  :sad1: but how would you like to be part of the process for the new VWR brake kit  :confused: what kits this then so all was told and and my car goes down on teusday for it to have all the measurements taken from the car and both sets of wheels to check for clearance probs and then its back down for them fitting  :evilgrin:

some people have tried these on the VWR red mk5 but they are the prototype ones and the ones going on mine will be the final production versions that will be on sale very soon. All the info and all the cad designs will be put on the forum by Mat at VWR for everyone to see after mine get fitted in the next week or two  :happy2:.

oh yes just to say they are 360mm discs and 6 pot calipers  :notworthy:

Good to see you again yesterday, Mat.

It's not the first time I've heard someone say they wish they'd installed a 'proper' diff much earlier. It's not an obvious mod nor one which appears to represent VFM, particularly as it's not exactly saleable later. But, we live in the now, and the driving enjoyment as you've instantly discovered is beyond valuing in money terms imo.

well little update  :innocent:

took the car in to Vwr for a good going over as after the diff went it i had a little bit of clutch slip on boost 9  :signLOL: so wound it down a little while i was going to europe in the car for some fun  :driver:, booked the car in for a full new clutch fitted so had a new paddle clutch

and also the uprated pressure plate as i was on a stock one before so now my peddle is nice and stiff  :laugh:

also had the cam follower and fuel pump seal replaced
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fd122%2Fmat138l%2Fcamfollower.jpg&hash=df280bef47d9e962ab69cfdc1fef6b16ddc232d8)
but the one on the car was still perfect but changed it anyway.

had a full service all filters changed and the plugs done and had coil packs done and had Simon change the cam belt and tensioners and also had the water pump done as it was chirping on start up  :rolleye:.While it was on the ramps Simon replaced my rear KW v3 shocks as one had leaked so kw replaced them both for me thanks to Mat   :notworthy:.Simon also went around my car and checked everything twice and made sure the car drove how it should and also replaced one of the little strings that hold the parcel shelf in place when you open the boot lid  :notworthy: this was something he noticed was broken so just sorted it  :drinking: and also had my TRS tow hooks fitted too (will post a pic later of that )

all in so happy with the level of service from Mat and Simon top work as ever guys  :notworthy:

more updates soon  :evilgrin:

Bit of crap update but driving on the mtr way the other day the car made a big bang from the front end but still drove fine  :sad1: lucky I was only a few miles from home.I jacked the car up and noticed one of the v3 springs had snapped in half

 :confused: not sure why it's done this so will take it off and maybe send it back to kw for them to look at  :smiley: any way managed to get a full set of springs for it thanks to Mat at vwr  :notworthy: should be with me this week and I will fit em ASAP just glad it's done it now and not while I am in France in 5 weeks  :rolleye:

Yes mate kw v3  :smiley:

Post by: Top Cat on June 25, 2011, 08:29:31 pm
The springs look like V2. The V3 are thinner than that. When i first bought my top mounts i could not fit them because the springs were to fat to add camber, thats how i ended up with clubsports.

Post by: Top Cat on June 25, 2011, 08:31:22 pm
Scratch that just checked a set and they are the same as yours, must be just the clubs that are thin.  :happy2:
