Well the stage 2 file has been loaded and all I can say is wow. This car is now a weapon. Just need a HPFP upgrade and intake to improve the midrange and it will be perfect performance-wise.

Keep it stock or lower it? Kind of liking the stock sleeper look.

Stock ride height looks good on stock wheels.

Pictures of the exhaust system because words are just boring.

Another small update

CTS intake has been installed and sounds great.
HPFP is on order and a DSG file will be loaded to ensure no clutch slip with the stage 2+ file

Not going stage 2+?

I don't feel the extra money spent is worth the approx 25-35hp gain. The car has trouble keeping the front tyres gripping while stock....

I was waiting for this  ::) >:D

Also removing the oil neck is a very clean mod

Hahahaha. After being informed of the midrange gain I was sold.

Will look into the oil neck removal

Not really much to report sadly. Went for a post lockdown blat down to Pirongia which was great.
HPFP internals kit has been installed but that's about it on the tuning side

With the car having done 172,xxx km it's time for some maintenance to keep it fresh before more power

Small update on the ED30.
It's now running full "stage 2+" software and is absolutely bonkers. No grip in the wet even in 4th gear which is a little scary. Potentially something stickier than RE003 are needed.
Installed some Bilstein B16 that popped up for sale ridiculously cheap which improved the ride over the 180,000km stock shocks massively. Sitting slightly lower but still driveable however still working on the front wheels catching on downhill cornering.

A friend of mine has recently got a stage 2+ Pirelli Edition so I know what yours must be like.
But where?s the personalised plate?

Sold it. Trying to convince myself on the 'ED30" plates currently for sale but not quite there yet

Where are they for sale? I looked through trademe but didn?t see them. Seen the plate a few times before though. Also on a red eddy around east Auckland but the front plate was on the dash.

All that work and the rear end still looking a little flaky :laugh:. Car looks great! It deserves a set of lightweight wheels now
