Yeah, it sits outside my workshop all too often :ashamed: Scared to put miles on it lol! Im taking it to the bathgate show on sunday...if i get my engine cover back in time! From what i read on this site Edition 30's are common but i rarely see them out and about, would be great to do a photo like the site homepage but with Scottish Edition 30's at knockhill haha. Is there an edition 30 register as such on the go?

What do you do at the Hill? :smiley:
I've had mines 3yrs come March and its sitting at 18,900mls at the mo only gets used at weekends  :happy2:  Forgot bathgate was on went 2yrs ago didn't think much of it to be honest  :indifferent:
Whats wrong with your engine cover?  Aye there's a black 4dr in the next village to me and I see 2 other tornado reds kicking about. Yeah i'd be up for that as I say we're always up at the hill  :driver:

Yeah if you check the members rides section Gareth is colaborating a list but as for the plaque from vw I'm still waiting on mine  :sad1:

Long story kinda...i work for Graham Brunton Racing with the Ferrari driving experience and the two seater hot lap car dont know if your familiar with them? Im the driver of the hot lap car :happy2: . My engine cover is being painted candy white with a red coach line down either side of the silver fsi bit. hope it will look good as its my 1st mod so to speak. Mines is plaque number 1304, got it within a month of owning it, im the second owner, had it 3 months now. Mines is a daily driver....almost :sad1: What sorta mods have you done on yours?

Tidy mate don't suppose ud take us out a run in it ? :notworthy: :signLOL:
Av gave up on gettin my plaque :mad:
Cars runing Giac 330bhp pump,race maps,carbonio intake,s3 intercooler,Autotech HP Fuel Pump,Miltek turbo back zaust,H&R 35mm springs,s3 345mm drilled discs  :happy2: :laugh:  Car started off standard for 6months then the modding began after a innocent visit to Star Performance for a miltek catback zaust ended up heading home with a remap  :signLOL: :stupid:

haha, nice one mate, your car sounds mega...im concentrating on the looks dept for now but no doubt this site will have its wicked way and ill be having a miltek before long!  :drool: Could do a group buy for hot lap vouchers  :signLOL: . Do you use your car every day? if so what are mods like yours like to live with?

Post by: Toast on October 21, 2009, 10:41:33 pm
Yeah av spent way to much and this forum doesn't help  :scared: :signLOL:  I also had a set of 19" audi split rims on it as well but sold them as I wanted to go down the performance route instead. Lol that could be a plan I need to get the car on the track at some point but I'm a bit scared  :driver:  Car gets used weekends only as I have a combo van for work and wouldn't dare take the car into my yard to much muck!!   :signLOL:  Mods are very easy to live with and the giac maps work a treat I've also got the switch so that I can change maps and put it off completely on wet days or when its at the garage  :innocent:  As I say most of the mods have been done at Star performance in Kirkcaldy Jims a really good guy  :happy2:

Nice one mate. Just go for it on the track, its easier and safer than driving quick on the road,loads of run off no potholes and no ming mongs coming the other way...hopefully :signLOL:  Im taking mines to falkland next week to see what power it actually has, cant wait! No doubt ill be shocked, either good or bad! Do you know what yours had as standard?
