Title: Pete's Tornado Red ED30.
Post by: Dirty30 on March 07, 2013, 11:50:28 am: Hi guys.

New to forum but so far love all the info and banter going around on here :wink:

Have had my dsg ed30 for a week now and I still itch to go out for a drive for no apparent reason. Have done about £300 at shell in a week :surprised:

Plans include an Rtech map and dsg software, intake, exhaust, black wheels with red bbs caps and slight window tint. Also want some Oem xenons at the right price ;)

Here are some pics I have so far

With my old stage 2 1.8t. Sold to a good mate so will still see it around. Loved that car.

Hope to speak to all of you soon enough.

Thanks.

Sometimes small mods can be the best ones.

Post by: Dave J on March 09, 2013, 06:08:39 pm: Hey Pete,

Dave J here from ukmkivs - lovely looking ED30 you have there. Was thinking about making you an offer on the mkiv, as I still miss mine after the accident. Seems you got a sale quite quickly :smiley:

Glad you're enjoying the ED30 - love the DSG on mine, just the best of both worlds. Look forward to seeing your progress with this one!

Cheers,

Dave

Post by: Dirty30 on March 11, 2013, 09:49:46 am: Thanks Dave. Yeah she didn't stay up for sale long and I was lucky to have a friend buy it.

Love the dsg. Although I think it's due a service as I have no stamp for it!

I bought an led kit off Matt from the led thread and must say I'm very happy with them. Rubbish pics but you get the idea.

Highly reccomend them, really shows up a car with standard bulbs in :wink:

Post by: rdfcpete on March 14, 2013, 11:23:41 pm: Good name, good car too :laugh: :happy2:

Mods make it sound like it shifts :smiley:
Xenons are a superb addition but wouldn't pay silly odds for them or risk any issues if you don't put the levelers & washers on too.
Title: Re: Pete's Tornado Red ED30.
Post by: Dirty30 on March 15, 2013, 11:53:33 pm: I wouldn't worry about levellers or washers tbh bud. I'll have some when the right time comes ;)

LEDs are def worth a buy. You won't believe the difference until you try them.

Got myself a sticker :driver:
