Welcome on board!  :drinking:

She looks a beauty, correct colour and correct amount of doors too!!  :pomppomp:

Have a look into either the Milltek Resonated TBE or BCS Prestige Powervalve TBE. Love those Pescara's done in Anthracite, looks great.

Looks lovely there, a nice example and do love those wheels that colour on the red! I have turbo back miltek non res on mine and I don't find it too bad at all inside the cabin! But I don't do too many miles a week so never bothers me. If you do prefer quiete and do go down the miltek route then maybe the res is the option for you. BCS have great reviews but never owned one to comment. Good luck with it.

Looks really good mate.
For the exhaust I'd go for a Miltek Non Res... I've heard both (albiet in Mk4 1.8ts) and I couldn't really tell a big difference in terms of internal noise.  :congrats:

Very nice looking car, Really do like the wheel colour and I have toyed about doing the same on My TR ED30 but I also want to keep it as OEM as possible so cannot make a decision on the matter  :confused:

Hope you enjoy the car!

Regards Simon

Wise choice! Now get a new intake and remap!! Even stage one one ed30 is a massive improvement :)

Title: Re: Red ED30
Post by: Gary ED30 on April 09, 2013, 07:49:45 pm

I want to get a remap but i have heard a few people saying that you need upgrade the clutch?

Title: Re: Red ED30
Post by: MC71 on April 09, 2013, 08:05:39 pm

^^^^ get the map done (Stage 1) but be aware that you may need, in the future, an uprated clutch.

 If you do find the clutch starting to slip in higher gears while accelerating then return your car back to its stock settings and you'll be ok again until you decide if to go for a brand new OEM clutch and DMF or an uprated organic clutch. I have just had a quote of £1200 from JKM Performance for an Sachs Organic Clutch with a new DMF fitted.
