    Picked up my new run about...

    ...a Mk5 Golf GTI. :whistle:

    DSG, Shadow Blue, 18" wheels, Leather, Nav, 20,000 miles.

    200bhp :hahaha:

    It's not a bad car and it's something the mrs can drive whilst I save for my next CSL :smokin:

    I almost bought an edition 30.

    I still might, next full on track slag for me.

    I am not taking the e92 too far, keeping it nice and "roady" if thats a word:hahaha:

    The golf gti's are awesome cars.

    The edition 30's are tuneable to 350bhp and more, due to the bigger turbo,

    Ex, filter, intercooler, fuel pump, remap see's 350+bhp.

    My CSL, did 21 sec 30-130mph, an edition 30@ 340 bhp did 16 sec 30-130 so they are no slouch either.

    Obviously the CSL will be better through the corners.

    Good choice.

      Cheers Lawsy, was after an Ed 30 not only for the bigger turbo/more power but I prefered the look of them (bumpers etc) over the standard GTI. However had to keep it insurable for the mrs and Ed30 insurance doubled :banghead:

                        Yes :hahaha: it's a lovely gearbox, not quite as manual as I would like in manual mode (for example it still changes up for you) however that can be fixed with a £200 DSG Remap what what I have read.
                        It's super quick and super smooth, do miss the aggressiveness of the SMG change but it's much much quicker and makes a nice noise on every change :hahaha:
                        Ian, I'll pop to an event in the near future and you can have a gander/try the gearbox.

                        Nathan, nice mate!! Lovely cars the Edition 30s. :thumbs:

                          I got an ED 30 for the Mrs. last year - stonking car, 310 BHP remap and huge amounts of torque. It matches the RS4 up to about 110 MPH.

                              I actually prefer SMG, much more interactive, the gear display is much better too.
