I hope so dude! @maxitrol 2nd year they've screwed us for a stand otherwise.
I tried to write in the stand thread about how fitted seems to favour there pals when it comes to stands etc, seems most shows are going that way and abit stuck up, not sure it posted tho.
Do love vwfestival tho  :happy2:

Cheers @S800BRN

Busy weekend for the ed30!
Finally after buying the kit back in Feb I got a nice enough day to do my cambelt and water pump! Pretty easy in the end, took us 2.5 hours which I didn't think was bad, old belt looked alright but had been on for 5 years so thought better safe than sorry!



Then here's a boo boo for you, back in 2012 I bought a  whiteline WALK kit off this forum in a group buy and turns out while tidying my dads garage yesterday they stayed on a shelf and not on my car lol  :laugh: what a divvy! so I got those fitted up, only driven the 1 slow mile home so not seen a difference yet!



Then there is my bargain mod I've fallen in love with, a cheeky little add on splitter to the bottom of the bumper, not too much but just enough to know it's there! Always felt the front was lacking something so I'm pretty happy with the outcome.




Here's to some Spring motoring! Fancying swapping out my neuspeed intake for a Revo one next but we'll see...

Just can't believe I thought I'd fitted them Andy and forgot all about them!  :stupid:
Looking forward to doing a few miles and seeing if I can feel a difference!
Defo have more confidence in it now the belt is done! I know some people push them when there on low miles but it was the age of it that what niggling at me.

Heading out to cars in the park near Leeds on the 8th so I'm glad I'm all sorted to get there  :smiley:

Took a trip to VW today to pick up my latest buy, followed the crowd with my spare £40 and picked up a Rev G to swap out for my Rev D.
Had only done 2500miles on the Rev D and didn't feel to have lost any power but thought I'd give the G a go after tuners recommendations.



First impressions seem good. I'm off to a local show on Sunday so I'll be putting some miles on so I'll see how it fairs up on a journey out.

Took a trip out to Cars in the Park at Newby Hall, Ripon today.
Great day out with loads of sun! First time at this show and if your local I'd defo recommend it!





Was great to get out in the car again after not driving it for ages! Makes me realise why I love this car so much.
I was quite pleased it stayed clean, put the fresh coat of Swissvax I'd put on yesterday to good use!

Have to admit aswell now after putting some miles on since swapping my diverter valve the G has defo given me a smoother and most responsive drive over the D!

Cheers Andy!
It was a sports/prestige show so it got abit of attention but when it's surrounded by 6/7 figure cars it got a little swallowed up! Great day out tho.

They do a spring one now and a Autumn one at Lotherton Hall? Might check that one out considering its £8 a car  :happy2:

Checking the dates now to see if I can make it to anymore VW shows, fancy Cumbria vag....

Come to GTI International, July 9-10th at Shakespeare Raceway. I will be there on Sunday along with most of the others on here I believe. If you do come you may have to stop me from licking your car though  :grin:

Haha cheers @dansmith180  :grin: just had a look and it'd be 320 mile round trip and don't think my little lad would hack the travelling! Shame cause I've always fancied gti international.

@maxitrol yeah I've just taken it to the other half and apparently I'm already committed to btcc at Croft that day :(
