Pretty much done all the mod's i set out to do to my car with a few additions due to this site  :signLOL:

Only things to get for the car are things that i'd like to have but don't need if that makes sense  :confused:

Highline
Polar FIS+
Mk6 GTI steering wheel
Newsouth boost gauge fitted in air vent

Quite a small list so i better stop thinking or more things will get added  :laugh:

Dave

I'm not going to bother modding mine , its staying standard. The reason being is that Im on a budget , car wise , and cant save towards a replacement car while spending money on my current one. I will be getting the wheels refurbed (17s) , new wheel centre badges and replacing my whitewormy rear hatch handle this year , along with having my mirror caps sprayed to get rid of a few scuffs. Thats about it! Not very exciting , but at least I will be keeping my car in decent nick in its 7th year.

Here's mine:

- pipewerx downpipe & sports cat
- WALK
- Autotech Rear Anti Roll Bar (maybe)
- linear throttle map (R-Tech)

Will tackle that lot over the next 2years  :happy2:

I presume it would be very long and the total would match the price tag of car itself!

....Respect to you for being so strong minded  :drinking:. And especially managing to resist while being a member on this forum!!

Have you had yours from 2005? What mileage have you done?

I'm not sure if it was you or me who pushed Saint Steve over the modding slippery slope, but you have to admire him for the length of time he held on to the edge  :signLOL:

All will fall in the end! :evilgrin:

Bought my ED30 with NO intention whatsoever to mod a single thing, found this forum a month later and that straight away purchased a WALK kit. Didn't really even know what it was or how it worked, was just "convinced" it was needed. I truly believe that Jedi Mind Tricks are at play on this forum.
