Newbie candy white ED30
« on: November 21, 2016, 01:06:16 pm »
Hi all

Just picked up a lovely candy white ED30 a week past Friday. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Well spec'd standard car with some nice mods to go along with it

R32 front break conversion - standard rears are sticking a bit nice excuse to fit R32 rears too  :signLOL:
WP coilovers ( not sure of exact model but rock solid)
Tinded windows
Miltec cat back
Forge DV
Some form of MAP ( not sure who mapped it)
I have a set of 18" BBS CH-R on order - the Monza 2 that are currently fitted are in desperate need of a recon and previous owner fitted what can only be described as ditch finder special front tyres ( with a car with this BHP I cant work that one out  :thinking: )

The plans for next year is to go for a stage 2 custom map running 350/360 BHP  :jumping:

Its booked in VW for a paintwork warranty inspection in the 5th December fingers crossed get the go ahead ( will keep everyone updated on the progress...its not bad enough to notice unless your really looking but its there and annoying me to no end - if they say no I will get it done myself its far too nice a car not to be perfect.

There is probably other things I haven't gotten around to finding as the weather in Scotland has been terrible from the day I got it so not had a proper chance to dig right in.

Hope these picture uploaded ok   :signLOL:

Welcome to the forum etc etc...
You realise you can't sell a Candy White ED30 and have to keep it forever and ever?  ...                                              :wink: :evilgrin:

Thanks very much. Absolutely love the colour and the car - fuel bill is frightening as I came from a MK4 GTTDI but so worth every trip to petrol station  :signLOL:. Had so many people asking of its a custom paint job as they haven't seen many in candy white

Having a few issues with her just now. Dreaded timing chain tick and needing a cam follower change out.

Thankfully there is some cracking DIY threads for both on here so my job over the festive period..... i'm considering fitting a HPFP and definatly a DV+ as the forge one currently fitting is leaking. Its the one with the noise block fitted.

There is always something to change or repair on cars its now time to upgrade rather than replace I think  :signLOL:

Will upload more pics with the BBS fitted very soon.

Went out for a wee drive after a quick day of cleaning. Hope these all work.
