News mods to be installed.

AEM A/F 52mm gauge with AEM's wide band UEGO controller.

OZ Ultraleggera 7.5x17" ET 35 wheels for track day use only. Not my favorite but within budget, quality and weight goals.

highly recommended by "track freeks" but I still haven't tryed them. That or the Bridgestone 540S. I'll try those next time.

Have you had any problems with your Blueflame Downpipe. ?

Have you had any problems with your Blueflame Downpipe. ?

None so far. Something I'm suposed to be looking for ?
Or be careful at ?

 

[Empi5]

Yes there seems to be a fault with the weld used, only seems to effect cars running higher boost. The problem has now been corrected by BF, ie different design of the downpipe, but worth keeping an eye out. Couple of us have had problems.

 

[LNeves]

Cheers for the hint. I'm actually using higher boost settings at moment so will def keep an eye on the dp.
Will BF swap it if a problem occurs ?

 

[CupraR-Rog]

Car looks good!! You've pretty much done what I was hoping to do with mine all told... but I ran out of cash and had other commitments come up

yes there is a life time guarantee as long as you own it, they repaired mine, but im led to beleive they will replace it with the new design if it fails now

 

[LNeves]

Great! Thanks a lot

WOW very nice
Hows the tyres on the track?
Very nice set up you have there
Still happy with the car?
The braided brake lines do you remember where you go these from
Thanks

 

[speedinsaxo]

I got my braided hoses from Badger5 for about £55.

LNeves - fantastic car. Very similar mods to mine in the Engine and Handling department. I just need to sort out a set of coilovers.

 

[Willie]

Did you notice a difference with the braided hoses fitted or did you do all the brake stuff at the same time?

 

[bcstudent]

Orange with MOs....I think that's the sexiest Leon I've ever seen. Nice work man.

 

[speedinsaxo]

I got all the brakes at the same time, so not really sure if they make a difference. Still bedding them in. I do notice however how the DS2500 pads do not work as well from cold.
