Title: GingerGuild's ED30 #0045
Post by: gingerguild on March 31, 2014, 02:13:14 pm

Well, it took me a while but I eventually got around to finding out what number the ED30 was, getting it deep cleaned and getting a few snaps of it.  Hope you like..

Hi mate, thanks.

Considering it was never cherished, it really isn't too bad at all.  Boost doesn't feel quite right when giving it some though.  Noticed an actuator rod housing for the wastegate appears to be loose so that could have something to do with it.  Bit of a polish in places and some TLC, it'll be back on top form.

Sorry to resurrect an old post but several months ago, I did other ED30 owners a solid by making their cars rarer.  It was too painful to post at the time but here are the images for your cringing pleasure:

The car had just got some new shoes too!  Basically a combination of girlfriend, terrible weather and a very poorly marked junction resulted in a bit of a t-bone.  My girlfriend walked away from this with nothing but a slightly melted coat (airbag deployment).

It isn't all bad however.  I've managed to scrimp and save whilst driving a couple of bangers and I'm now in a lovely ED35.

RIP Betty #0045 (the car)

Noooooo. I hate seeing crash pics of members cars.
Have you started anything else on the mk6 part of the forum? Keeping it standard?
