Went to GTI Fest over the weekend, I had a wicked day and was very very happy with how the 30 performed!
Stopped off on route home and took some snaps... i hope you all like them as much as i do!

Before the weekend at SantaPod i was satisfied with the cars performance, but now i want more... :jumping:

I managed a 13.4 but got bored of queuing up so left fairly early!

C's and C's welcome
Good meeting you and racing with you up the strip bud  :driver:

Still a fab looking example, Something I could never do though take my ED30 down the strip or do a track day. I have never launched a car off the mark in 12 Years of driving!

Sounds like you had fun though!

Too mechanically sympathetic, One lap around the Nurburgring is probably more abuse than I give a car in 1 Year!

Launching a car on 1/4 Mile I find a bit brutal, Fair enough if its just a toy car built for that purpose but my own cars get pampered. I have actually been put of going to view cars for sale in the past that have been on track days or 1/4 Mile sprints.

Don't get me wrong, When the mood and conditions allow I enjoy the odd overtake and spirited drive.

Not knocking the OP's car by the way but you asked me why  :happy2:

I can understand that. Your cars wouldn't be in as good condition if you did. I might be buying a road legal track car this weekend, do you think that might have been ragged?  :signLOL: anyway ill stop hijacking the thread, lovely car!

@Lucastheone92 - My car has been resprayed in its lifetime so that may explain the ott deep shine. Although i do spend roughly 2 hours cleaning the car every weekend and its layered in wax, Oh and It's also kept in the garage overnight!

@Rob1 Thank you!! :)

@Sulley91 Thanks bud! Were you the one with the Grey Eddy? If so I have a video of our race  :P

@bonelorry Each to their own i guess... I drive my car every single day, I commute 70 miles a day and pamper my car every single weekend. It gets serviced and has its oil changed every 5k. These cars were designed to be driven fast and that is exactly what i do (when it is safe to do so of course) Thank you for your comment and yes, i did have fun!  :innocent:

A short front plate does wonders for the front end of an ed30. Looks spot on. Is it standard size letters but just shortened, or are the letters slightly smaller than normal too?

I'm toying with the idea of getting a private reg (... DUB hopefully) but want to keep it within the law and not attract bored traffic cops!

Its 100% Legal, correct sizing, font, BSAu codes Just shortened due to me having one less number in my Reg. I recommend shortened plates, I've had them on my last 5 cars!

S3 Brakes by Robert Burgazzi, on Flickr

Had these fitted over the weekend.

They're the same as the Golf R and Audi S3 8v. Much much better over standard, i have so much more confidence in the car!
