no unfortunately not - I was taking the picture there - that's my mate in the background :) he's got an S3 project build on vagoc.co.uk.

Don't hang about eh Sean? :happy2: :laugh:
Lovely looking 30'. Be some serious power you'll inherit there - hope it all works out problem free :smiley:
Look forward to seeing the build thread develop.

Nice motor me likey :happy2:

Good choice, best colour too :driver:

great choice & Great wishlist, welcome along!

welcome--look forward to the build thread :happy2:

Cheers guys! Absolutely loving it in white - getting a little excited about stage 1 in just over a week! stubby aerial arrived last night so fitted that - got replacement grille coming too so hopefully that arrives soon and i'll get that replaced (current one is quite chipped up in the black area!)
Just wish I could afford to do more now but going to have to wait for some savings to build up to get it to stage 2+!

Nice list of mods you got to go on there. Should be good by the end. Shame about the colour (should be red!) :smiley:
-
Most of the fun is waiting to get mods bit by bit , if you do it all at once you have nothing to look forward to :-)
Looks great in white , always wished mine was white ..

I have a bad feeling that by the time I've finished doing it bit by bit I'll be wanting a different car :scared: :sad1:
-
really liking the colour.. it really matches the ED30..hope you have fun! :happy2:
-
Great colour and great car :smiley: nice mod list too
-
Nice car fella! :happy2:
If that list is in order I'd be bumping up the last mod much further towards the to! :driver: :wink:

More I'm getting used to the car the more the brakes scare me - I think you may be right!!
-
Defo get brakes sorted soon, stage 2+ on 312mm discs Is asking for trouble.

Seems like it...will see how they feel with stage 1 and will probably bump it up to do sooner :happy2:
-
These looks great in white. Looking forward to see it with the paintet wheels.
-
its been a while but finally got the funds to get a couple things done!
Its booked in for:
ITG cold air intake
Down pipe / sports cat
Non-res miltek cat back
REVO stage 2 update
I had planned to go Stage 2+ (HPFP and THS intercooler as well) but thought this money might be better spent on new brakes and engine mounts/anti-lift kit so that the car doesn't try killing me with the tiny brakes on the standard ed30!
pictures to follow when its done!
Cheers,
Sean

Couple pics to keep you interested until everything is done! My mate and I took a trip up to the top of Hartside (near Penrith) one of the best driving roads in the UK!!

Few other small bits done whilst saving for the big job. I have done:
Black rear valance/exhaust surround
MTEC headlight & side lights
Edition 30 badge on front grill
LED number plate bulbs with full kit from Matt (on eBay) Still need to get round to doing the interior bulbs!

:drool: :laugh: What a beauty! MORE MORE MORE. Looking foward to this build thread
-
lovely looking car there mate :happy2: love the colour.
+1 for the brakes so glad i did mine at the same time as going stage 2. so a great investment.
-
Nice :happy2:
-
Awesome dude!
I am also looking at upgrading the breaks.
S3/r32 set up seams to be a good set up to have.

Yeah when i went stage 2 i went for the Cupra K1 kit, same size size but already have the red calipers so keeps the OEm look on the gti nicely, only as it saved me painting them and actually the kit i found was a little cheaper.

:drool: :drool: lovely car mate, loving the candy white eddys at the moment :wink:

Cheers guys! Delay on the stage 2 bits and pieces because the guy is away on the holiday this week! :sad1:
Should be next week when everything goes on it and I'll get some pictures up of how it looks. Been eyeing up some TTRS brakes but savings are fairly depleted after booking in for the stage 2....
