Hi everyone,

Its great to join you all, i have had a quick look around and like what i see. I hope everyone is as nice as they are on the r32oc.
I think a lot of you have been through this but i am wondering which mk5 to get, the r32 or ed30. :confused:

I previously had a type r which i regret selling ¬




and i now have an astra 1.9 cdti (150) ex pack which i regret buying  :laugh: dont get me wrong it's a great car and looks sweet but no vtec or grunt makes me sad.




You can guess what colour my mk5 will be  :drool: tornado red all the way (IMO of course)

Hope it's a good intro for you guys.
I will be greatful for your help with deciding which mk5 to go for, even though i think i know what there is to know  :happy2:

ED30...cheaper to tax, cheaper to fuel, cheaper to insure and easier to tune :D

Thats what swung me anyhow lol

P40 THN:
wow that is a hole in one lol

My idea was to end up with an ed30 anyway but i was thinking if i should get an r32 first, i love the sound and the 4wd. My only issue with the ed30 apart from the fwd is that its really hard to find one with leathers.

With fuel prices going daft i think a lot of people will be selling up their r32's

thanks alexperkins, yours ed30 looks bloody sexy :happy2:

alexperkins:
the sound and the 4wd is good ill give you that, but I couldnt justify £400 a year road tax and even higher fuel bills!

You wont find an ED30 with full leathers...it was never an option. They all have heated half leather with the funky interlagos cloth - best of both worlds

Cheers mate ;) Its a lovely motor

E30Dom:
Having had all three cars... (r32, type-r and now ED30) I would like to say the type-r doesn't compare in terms of build quality, handling or pace of the VW's... in fact I hated my type R for the couple of weeks I cared to own it...

The R32 is gorgeous car, sounds awesome and the 4wd traction is brilliant. But it's a heavy car and you can tell in the corners and fuel wise, I would on average get 29-30 on my 25mile work run...

The Ed30 feels spritelier, feels just as quick if not quicker, but getting the power down takes some getting used too... getting average of about 36mpg at mo... sounds nice when boosting... and had the added bonus of beeing easier to tune...

It's a tough one between the two... I wish I never sold my R32 if that tells you something... but am very pleased with the ED30 but look forward to getting a remap...

Mk5 R32 with the ED30 engine but with V6 roar( or an R32 Turbo) would be my perfect choice...
