Smee's mk2 Seat Leon Cupra

[Smee]

well i have never noticed it in 9 months of owner ship. no oil on floor. jacked car up and noticed the gear box was covered all over.

seat think its coming from the engine top right side (near battery) and running down teh gearbox. apparently been doing it for a while but i havent lost hardly any oil. probably half a dipstick in 9months and 6k miles.

:S

the ride on the Eibach Springs are better than the standard springs. you feel the bigger bumps but i felt the little things like man hole covers teh car glides better over these now. the springs seem progressive

Hope you get it sorted mate

Sounds good to me, the ride height just looks lush!

Toying of the Idea of an all black theme for my car. what do you guys think? (Grey wheels to match the rear bumper insert)

 

[Smee]

Car booked in for Friday to have Fuel Pump seal replaced, Exhaust fitted and Forge Quick Shifter fitted

cant wait

 

[LC_15]

Hows the exhaust dude? want to get one for mine.

 

[Smee]

Yoo I'll get some pics up but basically today saw my HPFP seal replaced. Forge quick shifter (thrower not side to side) and my full tbe exhaust.

I'll check the seal tomorrow but should be good now

The forge shifter I have to say I wasn't to sure what to expect with with this but I have to say this might be my fav mod. The gear Shane's are so easy to slot it. A must have mod for me on all cars going forward. Travel is right on (not on shortest setting) and it feels smoother aswell.

The exhaust well. Not really had a chance to utilise it yet as I found out late last night I need a doggone insert to bat damage the down pipe. So no driving in anger yet. That said it sounds awesome. From outside it's pretty loud but no drone what do ever an the sound in chat is sweet. Ill get some vids up and pics tomorrow. Was dark and I needed beer tonight

 

[Smee]

Not forgotten about the Pics but just waiting for a few bits to turn up and ill get some then.

 

[Smee]

Parts still havent arrived but i was a little bored last night so here is Version one of my new PFlo Filter box.

 

[LC_15]

looks good i got a load of sheet metal at home so this is my plan for next fewdays.

Thanks for the idea smee.

you going to AMD on 4th march?

We can test see's who is working better?

 

[Smee]

you still for the engine cover on??? if not i can send you the dimensions for the cardboard one above which i believe wont fit with engine cover

 

[LC_15]

No i removed my engine cover due to p-flo, so will have basically same cars on the dyno only difference really engine wise is the intake sheild.

I will make my own, see which design works more efficentley.

Makes the day just that bit more interesting?

(runs off to research all the info possible)

 

[Smee]

PM your email ill send what i have so far although its not quite right and i got it from another member on here just tweaking it for my needs

 

[LC_15]

what are you making yours out off, ally?

 

[Smee]

acrylic / Perspex although i might try the local school and Vacuum one

 

[LC_15]

I was thinking of makin a template out of some object like fibreglass then create a carbon skin using resin and carbon twill and then wrapping it around the fibreglass, then cut it in half and join it together to make a sort of carbon fibre intake/heat shield.

 

[Smee]

yea that would work. i had thought about that same but the template would have to be a good fit and made of something durable for teh fibreglass otherwise it would melt it. i tried something like this years ago using Styrofoam. had potential but would need to wrap it first.

 

[LC_15]

yeah it is going to be difficult but ill find a way may just do it in alli plate and weld the box together then make a huge intake which when doubled with fmic will suck all the ar it needs.

 

[Smee]

OK my next update as promised.

first up i have added my Jabba stickers to the rear window

then i decides to get my my exhausts fitted and gave the car a bit of a clean so heres my Blueflame exhaust

then my SCN Stickers turned up so here is the first one being used

 

[Smee]

Then i decided i had enough of kicking my Side Sills and the Seat Protectors are just stupidly expensive.

so i got my hands on some carbon vynal and made the following

i have the dimensions if some one else wants them

decided id fit the rears first.

then whacked in the fronts

then to use my 2nd and 3rd SCN stickers

all in all i am a happy man thus far, waiting for a few extra bits to turn up so progress with the next part

let me know what you think

 

[jc_boc]

Looking very good there mate. Protectors also look the part. Will get hold of you for the dimensions for sure.
