It went in for paint work last year so after that it had a enhancement detail and protected with swissvax endurance which is great for over winter.  The recent pictures are more of a maintenance wash.  Basically washing two bucket method with dodo juice born to be mild and, then any areas that looked a little dull were treated with a coat of dodo juice lime prime and poorboys black hole glaze.  All cleaned up with dodo QD and a layer of Dodo purple haze pro wax added on top, after leaving it a little while a final touch up with Dodo red mist really adds to the look. thats pretty much it for that latest detail, pretty happy the way has come out,

Thanks very much.  Yeah the Mk6 wheel is one of my fav mods and works really well with the RNS510.  If you find one just make sure it comes with the controle module.  The engine cover is a Neuspeed one.  can pick them up through Awesome Gti.  the one i have is more of a half cover but works well with any intake.

Stunning ED30 mate. 

Thanks very much appreciate it.

Very smart, love the engine cover! 

Thanks very much. Was one of the first thing I ended up buying as I got the intake after having the car about 2 days!

Quick update with a new purchase :) mk6 edition35 gear stick



After a recent clean.


And the run at the awesome Gti rolling road day managed 329bhp and 385 ft lbs torque. Misfire issue at the top end so high pressure fuel pump now at the top of the list :)

[Rhys_Gti]

And now all fitted :)

All comments welcome.  And after a good bit of driving over the weekend can't fault all the handling mods the h&r anti roll bars with the polybushing and kwv3 are all seem to be settled in perfectly. Now just for that fuel pump and stage 2+ here we come :)

Super nice car rhys

Is all that torque going threw the standard clutch?

[Rhys_Gti]

Thanks very much, it's all starting to come together now.

Yeah at the moment it is going through the standard clutch and to be fair its held up well so far as it was mapped to stage 2 a while back last year some time. But on the hunt for a fuel pump to help with some issues and going to do clutch at the same time then I hope.

Nice progress bro.
Preferred the old gear shifter though to be honest.

Looks like a good road trip, some nice roads... we don't have many of those round where I live lol.
