Title: New ED30 Owner
Post by: TommyR on October 03, 2013, 08:13:29 pm

Just thought I would say a quick hello. Previous car was a Fiesta ST, however it got to the stage where it was no longer cutting the mustard and unless thousands where chucked at it, it was never going to be quick.

After months of searching I finally found an Edition 30 that fitted the bill with just under 19,000 on the clocks and FVWSH…

Admittedly it isn’t the highest of specs but that doesn’t particularly bother me and to all you DSG fans im sorry…

Can’t wait to get started with it and eventually get to stage 2 + with some big stoppers and decent suspension.

Thanks for the comments. Forgot to mention im from the north west. In regards to DSG I did test drive a couple of cars with the DSG box, not ED30s though as I couldn't find a decent low miles example. Although I agree there noticeably quicker through the gears, I didn’t feel like I was doing a lot and my left foot felt lost. Anyways just need to shift the fezz now and then mods can start.  :happy2:

Thanks guys, it took months to find one with this mileage, but i think it was worth the wait and i can't wait to get started either but the fiesta seems to be attracting a lot of time wasters at the moment  :sad:

Mine has 22000 how much did you pay for yours ? Trade or private sale ? Mine will be for sale into the new year so need some idea

I don't know what the paintworks like but on black having it detailed makes a dramatic difference

You will love ED30 Ownership
