Title: newbie from leicester. ed30
Post by: beetie on December 30, 2011, 02:26:17 pm
Newbie just signed up after lurking for a while.

Bought a black manual ed30 with stage 2+ mods :driver:.

Go's alright and is a perfect partner to keep my abf'd mk2 company.

Need to find some genuine gti headlights for the mk5, as the previos owner has added genuine xenons but has bodged the wiring by cutting off the old 10pin plug and then twisting and taping the wires to a 12pin plug  :fighting:

I've bought some genuine 10pin plugs and i'll redo the wiring properly once i've found some lights. Then i'll sell  the xenons.
 
Looks like a great forum full of information :happy2:

One question though is can you not reply to for sale threads or make pm's until you make so many posts?

Keep thinking of selling it but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's nice to have a old, back to basics, car. So much fun.
