New Car!! - Edition 30 Content ;o)

[.Ben.]

I really like the Ed 30's. Though I'd NEVER put up with those seats. Remind me of Burberry. Eurgh.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

nice i want a mk5 golf, interiors nice

 

[Revo Kev]

intake + exhaust + high pressure fuel pump + Stage2+ = 360bhp

Great cars, only gripe I'd have is they don't run the larger front brakes as per the R32 and Leon Cupra... but that's easily changed!

 

[Sir_Dave]

intake + exhaust + high pressure fuel pump + Stage2+ = 360bhp

But it doesnt handle 230bhp at the moment, with all that it would just be shocking lol.

Foot down, boooooooossssssssssssttttttttt, undeeeeeeeeeeeersteeeeeeeeer, hedge.

Hello is that Direct Line? Claims department please.

 

[Ian_182]

True, but it would be fun on the motorway!

Its not possible to have fun in a straight line in a car though imho.

No skill involved whatsoever. So no fun :dapprove:

Bugger me though, the one in that video is bloody quick :S :evil:

any chance you can dingy it?

 

[Sir_Dave]

any chance you can dingy it?

And in English, not Scottish?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Well, despite me no longer owning a clio, my braking system is now mostly clio based! Why, i hear you ask?

Well Mintex M1144 (MBD1339) rear pads are not only for the clio 1*2, but the saxo/106/306, etc ...

In addition, my Ferodo DS2500 (FCP565H) front pads are for the clio 1*2 and 306 Gti6, & I have the 283mm Gti6 calipers sat in my garage

So, whilst i now drive a sexo, there's still clio flowing through my veins :evil:

any chance you can hand it back.

^^^ Wrong thread. I FAIL lol.

any chance you can hand it back.

Wouldnt want to, cost me bugger all, so nigh on free motoring for 2 years i reckon .... its a great day to day car anyway, i have the sexo for fun. Well i will, when it works lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

Thought id add some pics i took last time i went home to Cornwall.

Decided that the Golf needed to meet the little road from Zennor to St. Ives - try it if you're ever down there, its one of the best i've driven!! Also discovered that the golf can travel ground at a rather fast pace if you really want it to; not very exciting, but a fairly discreet way to devour roads in comfort Brakes fade quickly though, its DSG so i guess it has less engine braking?

Anyway, enjoy

Also took it to Surrey Rolling Road for a Cliosport meet, managed 228bhp which is right on the button, no doubt tighter than a ducks wotsit, but hey, it sits on the motorway all day long ...

 

[Daniel]

I love them so much more in a 5 door!

 

[RDP197]

I like it, but I can't help feeling the BMW was better. Has the trip to cornwall and the RR changed your mind on it being as dull as dishwater?

Quite liking the silver, seat styling is a nice change to the standard plain colours too imo :approve:

 

[Prong]

Very tidy.

Think im gonna get the CH wheels on mine.

 

[Ian_182]

Looks great.

Hello is that Direct Line? Claims department please.

trust me it can handle more than 230bhp.
my mate at jabbasport has one, think its running 300bhp at the moment at least and the power is very useable. it is insane now its running kw's, 4 pots and r888's

 

[Sir_Dave]

The driving around Cornwall improved my thoughts on it, but im still not massively impressed tbh. Its a lovely looking car though & as per Daniel - i actually prefer the 5dr shape!! Re: 300 bhp. Cant think of anything worse, the chassis simply isnt able to put down what it has, let alone more.

Might be going soon anyway ...

 

[clio_luke]

i disagree.
but thats your opinion so its fair enough. shame you don't really get on with it. lovely car.

 

[Russ_16v]

To be fair i can see Dave's point, iv driven plenty of Ed30's and 3 remapped ones (circa 300 bhp) and in a straight line is fine, but when you start to push on it really is too much power for the chassis.

No doubt with better suspension, better ARB's better tyres will help, but thats just part and part of tuning, as with any car

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yes, but he has R888's. The QE2 would go around corners well on them ...

Russ hits the nail on the head, with tuning it could be epic, but as standard, whilst its a fantastic day to day car, its not a particularly impressive hot hatch.

The saxo on the other hand, well :race:

 

[DynamoDave]

Russ hits the nail on the head, with tuning it could be epic, but as standard, whilst its a fantastic day to day car, its not a particularly impressive hot hatch.

Pretty much sums up my exact feelings on my MPS...Great in a straight line but just doesn't inspire confidence in the corners and is pretty dull all things considered.

I have a constant mental battle to not sell it but can't find something suitable to replace it with the little one!

 

[JCS_182]

My mate had an epic ed30 running 450+ bhp, fastest in the UK

 

[DynamoDave]

^ Quite a nice stance that.

Not keen on the wheels though.

That much power must be mental!

He just put those wheels on for show really, didn't last long. Put some Team D 1.2's on for weight loss.

thats johny c's ed30 , any car that johny has will be good

 

[andyhunt]

Love the BBS rims on these they look well smart! I do like the look of the mk5's but something just puts me off them, think I'd sooner have a 197 or a 200.
