Nothing really Russ, I've decided not to mod the Civic any further as I don't think I'll be keeping it much longer. It's a great car but I need something more unique, and the Civic isn't enough!
What are your future plans, keeping the Golf for a while longer?
Me again 
Today I had delivered some lovely S3 calipers, which have been refurbed in red and included R logo covers, DaveB1970 J-Hooked 345mm discs and everything else needed to get them working on my Golf Edition 30.
The standard set-up on the Edition 30 is very poor for the performance of the car, with the brake fake after one heavy use being borderline dangerous, so I decided to go for these as they simply just bolt on in place of my existing 312mm calipers. Plus, I won't have any issues with squealing or similar which you can some with from aftermarket pads and discs.
The brakes themselves have been used for about 5k, so needed a bit of a clean up...

As you can see, in a bit of a state...

I decided to opt for Surfex HD, which I've recently re-added to my collection after using it recently and being VERY impressed by it.

It was sprayed on liberally, left to work for a short while and agitated with an Envy brush. It took a couple of applications on my stubborn stains, but they are near 95% clean now

After drying, I decided to protect the red painted part of the calipers with Wolf's Body Wrap. Jesse advised on Facebook that Rim Shield is probably a better choice, but I don't have any of that yet, so decided to go BW for now.

Not perfect, but in a lot better nick than they were before I started!

I also have specially modified J-Hook brake discs:

Which apparently improve the effectiveness of this set up considerably!
I'll add more pics tomorrow when they are being fitted!
Finally, stoppers to match the power :car:
Cheers for looking,
Russ.

Have you taken your plate off it mate? I swear I saw you on J11 the other day?
I've thrown a few K at the Golf and am happy with it now - it easily matches the Meg for handling and is a fair bit quicker and not quite so dull, so it'll stay for a while until I see what is happening with me job wise
What are you changing the CTR for?
If both cars were parked up next to each other, I'd probably take the keys for the Clio is I wanted a 'fun' drive, as its so nimble, its awesome fun!
The Golf however is a much better allrounder, and with a few mods, its a pretty potent weapon tbh!
It's remapped too, so is running 314hp, so it surprises a few things. Add a FMIC, downpipe and HPFP and you can see 370hp with ease...
Any pics mate?
We'll have to meet up after tomorrow when I have the new brakes on
Did you Colli the glass and wheels?
Nah it's still got the BMX plate on, so you probably did see me. I haven't decided what I want yet, but I need something a bit 'special' if you know what I mean!
