Just bought my first ed30, recently sold my R32 as I test drove one of these and loved it! So the R32 had to go.
Much prefer these.
I bought her of a guy who said he bought it at an auction so he didn't have any paperwork for it, so admittedly I got it a but cheaper because of it. I took a risk but after takin her for a spin I fell in love and had to bring her home!
Spec:
57 plate on 77k
Manual, 5 door
Xenon headlights
Bodywork on her is perfect! No dents or scratches at all!
According to the guy who said she's been mapped to 300hp but no proof.
I haven't driven a standard one so it was hard to tell but she isn't slow so I'm taking his word for it but I don't think it's quiet 300.
It came with a custom exhaust which I hate :( sounds like it has a whole or something. Had a look underneath and it doesn't have a box just a straight pipe that's been welded
One of the best parts is the stereo it came with!
It's an aftermarket thing but it's like an android tablet! I love it.
Bluetooth, dab, google maps. Can hotspot it to my phone and have full on internet. It had the tourque app installed. I tried connecting to obd2 but wouldn't connect to Ecu for some reason.

Plans are:
air intake
Either standard exhaust or miltek
Mapped again
Cam belt changed as no paperwork so best be safe and get it done
At a later stage next year I'll get her taken in for any rust repairs
I've always kept a progress blog of all my cars on these forums so will update as I go.
If anybody knows a previous owner of this car please let me know. SV57XOD number 1401 would love to know anything from its history

I still have some paperwork etc, the original exhaust was blowing and replaced with a Tony Banks custom exhaust system (https://www.tonybanks.co.uk/exhausts/), sorry for the noise :wink: - they had great reviews (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tony+banks+exhausts&oq=tony+banks+exhausts&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.5367j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x48795f22ebe34b7b:0xc756d7b6db89174c,1) and I loved it.
I'm not sure how it ended up in your hands but I do have more information about the cars history - message me back!
