Joshy's Ed30 Build Thread
Joshy:
Morning all,
I thought I'd create a new build thread so i could keep everything separate from my previous Gti one (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,78921.0.html)
On the 17th Dec, I took the trip up to Scotland to see howie1987 and his red Ed30. After a few hours chatting and been shown round the car, and how it drives etc, we agreed on a price I set off back to Sheffield.
Most of you probably recognise this car as it has been owned by quite a few members: howie1987, ed30sam123, cuprajake, N8KOW, kevinm. This being one of the reason I went to look at the car.
Car Spec:
Mk5 Ed30 DSG
Tornado red
Factory fitted xenons
Privacy glass
Lux pack
Cruise control
Highline dash
RNS 510
729B Bluetooth
MK6 Rear badge reversing camera
Modifications:
Polar FIS
Carbon wing mirror caps
Full Miltek nos-res exhaust
S3 Front brake setup
Autotech HPFP
OZ Ultraleggera
H&R Springs
Rtech Stage2+
Theres probably a load more that could be added so please excuse if anything is missing.

The car previous had the old iPod armrest integration, so i thought it would be a good idea to swap this out of the armrest MDI. I bought a unit off eBay and bought the Kufatec wiring harness. Got everything fitted yesterday, but unfortunately i could get it to work as i was using the MDI > USB lead, and then plugging an apple lightning cable into this. Apparently this only allows the phone to charge, and no data is transferred. I'll be ordering the MDI > Lightning cable and this should solve my issues.
Currently enjoying driving the car as it is, but in future I'd like to change the suspension set up and whatever else would be required to reduce wheel hop.
I'm also thinking about changing the intake to something a little quieter. I've seen the HFI CAI that looks very nice. I assume it would be slightly quieter as it is enclosed, rather than an open cone like I have now, but unfortunately I've not seen much information, or reviews from anyone on here.
Joshy:
A bunch of new detailing products arrived earlier! Looking forward to giving the car a wash the car as it desperately needs it.
If you haven't used it before, i'd highly recommend the Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam, its amazing stuff.
Joshy:
The car was getting very dirty and was in desperate need of a wash!
Really happy with how the car turned out. I would have liked to spent much more time and give it good polish, glaze, wax etc... Maybe next time!

They are beautiful wheels. Very happy that the previous owner put these on.
