Title: new edition 30 owner down south
Post by: Dansmith on March 25, 2014, 08:43:49 am
Hey just picked up an edition 30 last week after selling my much loved 8L noggy blue S3, went with a 5 door dsg with only 15K on the clock :) just sent it in for the cambelt to be changed and also dsg oil change as I thought it would be wise with the age of the car. :) impressed so far with the eddie 30 however at the moment doesn't quite have the pull back into the seat as my stage 2 S3 did :( but I'm sure that can be quickly fixed with a trip to revo :)

a few pic's of old and new :) it was raining last night and I must admit i missed the quattro :(

Firstly the old girl the day before I handed her over (I was very sad)

The new Eddie (photo by the dealers unfortunately)

Maybe, tbh I was put off the stage 2 on the s3 with the amount of faff with the down pipe, cost a fortune to buy and never fitted properly! also it scraped on every speed bump blah blah... may try and keep it to stage one and lower it.... see what I say in 6 months! haha
