I'd agree here, I have just had front & Rear ARB's, front upper & lower strut braces, and powerflex bushes... wow what a difference! worth every penny, so happy with the way the car now feels!
ok mate.
So neither Hudds,slick or uncleFester mention a dog bone mount or panel filter in their top five mods to do to a Leon. Care to comment on that jonjay or was there something else you found funny about my post?
Silly slip - should have said that panel filter is obligatory with the remap, any company offering a remap will tell you that a panel filter is a must have.
Dogbone mount is a worthwhile change, but for me, it comes outside of the magic 5
I don't see where you getting at. Just because the others haven't put it in their top 5 list doesn't mean that my argument is wrong?
Anyway if you read my post I just put the easy and worth while mods up, that's all...and like a hero as you always have a go, that's why I am laughing mate because I was expecting you to do so.
Welcome to the site.
Easiest mods to do initial are:
Dogbone mount (a must for dervs)
Green Panel Filter
ok mate.
I was asking you to comment ie respond with some sort of intelligent comment so we could discuss why you might think a dog bone mount and panel filter where so important and why you thought my first post was so funny as that is the whole point of this forum for people to talk and give there point of view is it not? I didn`t attack you personally or in a threating manner as far as i am concerned as i don`t know who you are and your free to think what you like it makes no odds to me so i don`t see why you are getting so wound up and insulting me.
I don't see anything wrong with a panel filter. if the turbo spools up faster, that must be a good thing.
Plus when companys quote gains in power vs stock, they rarely mean peak. If you gain power lower down the rev range, its normaly better. I'm from the ford scene originally (boo hiss) I knew someone who used his car @ power engineering uxbridge. They used a new paper filter vs kn panel vs cone. The car was a focus tdi. The panel had the best torque, the cone the best power. Paper was close if not same bhp as the panel if I remember right, but the torque increased nicely. It was featured in a ford mag.
Obviously we are talking about different cars here, but it can't be that different?!?

Devonmikeyboy,
If you feel insulted I apologise.
To the point, if you read my post i said
I stress the word Easiest. I didnt say Dogbone mount is the best mod ever and has to be done otherwise your car will never be fast or as good as anyone elses. This is what you make out I said hence my reaction to your posts.
Now to add something constructive to this post, the dogbone mount is a must because of vast amount of torque the PD dervs produce. Due to the torque the engine tries to twist and thus can cause a whole host of things to brake when the standard mount is shot. By replacing it you stop the engine from "twisting" and thus the power goes down to the tyres quicker hence the car feels more connected to the road.
Doing a simple search on here you hear nothing but great things about an uprated dogbone mount and I agree 100%.
