My Sleeper.......
Oli:
......and the modding has started!
I picked up my 2008/08 Edition 5 Door DSG in grey today. It is a one owner vehicle with just 4000 miles, and as can be expected is like new inside and out. I've had a couple of MKV's before - GTI and R32, so knew what to expect, and after the 200 mile drive home (with my mum in the car hence the MPG) I was pleased to note 30MPG and a very relaxing drive with lots of overtaking potential. The MKV chassis is so well sorted. Coming from a B7 RS4 avant, I missed the 4WD and the sense of occasion, and obviously the noise, but I am well chuffed with the ED30, and once the mods listed below have been carried out, the car won't be lacking in the performance department either.
Now I run my own independant garage, but we don't do many performance mods, but I always use Ed at APS as my first point of call for any info, and as usual he has come up trumps, and helped pointing me in the right dirction;
The car is booked in for a stage 2 Oettinger map next Monday, and possibly the DSG map as well.
I have Eibach springs and a carbon speed intake on order from APS.
And Charlie @ Milltek is sorting me out a full turbo back resonated system out.
And on the non- perfromance front, I have the windows being tinted next week, and the Parrot MKi9000 being fitted tomorrow. I have ordered the front Black VW badge today.
Sorted
:smiley:

Looking forward to the pics Oli!
Did you say resonated for the exhaust? If you go non res you will be going some way to forget the RS sound. Mine sounds bonkers! :happy2:
Top Cat:
