Title: Brockway's Stage 2+ ED30 #0310
Post by: Brockway on August 23, 2015, 02:52:25 pm
I've been on here for a little while now, since buying my Edition in October last year. Thought it was about time I said hello and got some pictures up!

So Hi I'm Andy, I'm from Dorset and here is my Edition 30 number 310...

The car was standard when I bought it. I was quick to replace the cheap tyres with a set of Michelins and had a full service/health check done by VW.

Spec so far is:

-Styling
LED interior bulbs
Gel number plates
Heko wind deflectors
Dewipered
Open fog grills
Wheel spacers 12mm front, 15mm rear
In pro smoked mirror indicators

-Performance
Forge recirc valve
Ramair induction kit
Powerflex bushes
Catch can
Eibach springs

-Audio
Alpine head unit
Alpine speakers
Alpine 12" sub in wheel arch box
Sound deadening

I also have carbon interior trim and xenon headlights on the way and am looking to buy a set of 345mm brakes in the near future.
Other plans include; exhaust, intercooler, remap and have the wheels refurbed.

Yo Andy, Nice ED30 where abouts are you in Dorset i'm down in Wimborne
Title: Re: Brockway's ED30 #0310
Post by: Brockway on August 24, 2015, 12:07:43 pm
Cheers Guys! :happy2: Can't wait for the xenons myself!

The Fiesta is my previous project and was my second car. Still have it sat in the shed collecting dust, such a fun little car, just don't have the time to enjoy it anymore.

Yes Stephen I reckon it was yours, looks smart. I hung around for a bit to see if you would come back but I had to get home, haha. It was the 28th I think, I went to FOS on the 26th but was back down that way having my polybushes fitted on the Sunday.

Dwarfus I'm from up in Shaftesbury, so not too far away! :)

Been a little while! I've had VW change the cam belt and water pump on the car, and it passed its mot! Have also recently fitted Xenon headlights and Scirocco R 345mm front brakes, which I'm in love with. Theres been a small hole in the exhaust for a while, it had been patched up with good old gun gum but yesterday decided to start blowing again. So this morning I decided it was time and got my name down for a BCS 3" turbo back with sports cat. :D

Thanks mate!  I can't remember exactly which springs they are, I think they're the Sportline kit, -25mm. Sits just right for me, can't go any lower because of the tracks I use to get to work. haha

Hi not updated this for a very long time. The car had an engine replacement last winter due to the original having the oil pump balance shaft shear off. I managed to find a replacement BYD engine in a breakers with fairly low milage. At the same time of having the engine swap a few extra parts were fitted...

Performance spec now looks like-

- Ramair induction kit
- Revision G Boost valve
- Revision R PCV
- Powerflex bushes
- Boost tap hose
- Eibach springs
- Manifold heat shield
- BCS 3" turbo back exhaust, sports cat
- Exhaust heat wrap
- Scirocco R 345mm brakes
- Goodridge brake hoses
- Boost gauge
- S3 alloy Intercooler
- Balance shaft delete
- Sachs performance organic clutch & single mass lightened flywheel
- Intake flap delete
- Subframe bolts and spacer mod
- Uprated HPFP internals
- R-Tech Stage 2+ map

Finally back in November I took a visit to R-Tech for the remap, whilst there they also upgraded the hpfp internals and I came back very happy with some figures I was expecting no where near!-   372bhp, 398ft/lbs. More than happy with that! :D

Nice update! And a really strong curve. 400lb/ft must feel effortless.

Got to agree with what someone said earlier in the thread - it sits really well for springs. I haven't seen a car on Eibach that's quite as low, at the front at least.

Bet it is a flyer once you get grip, Icing on the cake would be a Limited Slip Differential if it was my car!

Good to see decent figures running the S3 Intercooler too, I am going to retain my Stock Golf R Intercooler when I go to Stage 2+ but I doubt I will see numbers like yours. Anything 350BHP upwards and similar Torque would be more than adequate  :smiley:

Hope you are enjoying it  :happy2:

I'm pretty sure the S3 and mk6 R coolers are basically the same thing, just that the mk6 has plastic ends and some (early?) S3 ones are fully alloy.

brock did you have Rfd done or clean valves how many miles has car done

Thanks everyone! Really happy with it, enjoying every minute I spend behind the wheel!!  :driver:  Nikki really transformed it. Its so smooth to drive but yet really punchy when you give it some boost!

I had runner flap delete fitted whilst having the engine swapped. New engine is supposedly on ~50k miles, have to take the breakers word for it. It had full service including cam belt/water pump whilst being fitted also.  :smiley:
Nikki didn't say anything about the s3 cooler not being enough, he saw my list of mods when I arrived and suggested fitting the upgrade hpfp as I'd spent all that money on the rest of it, and because I have a clutch.  :grin:

Very happy with the figures, more than I was ever expecting and more than I need haha. Just going to enjoy it and look after it now, I think I'll save up and sort the bodywork out next.
