::: SEAT LEON by MDS ::: ( THE END...)

[MDS]

Marco, You still havent posted a picture of the gap left from the old intercooler location!

Also Marco, have you now removed the oil cooler under the drivers seat (under the car) now you have one on the front of the car?

Sorry, I was travelling for the last 25 days, when i got back he had the car ready.

I had asked for pics of that. The only pics taken of it before finalizing the job are those i have posted here.

Thats a Diesel cooler as mentioned already.

That stayed.

The only thing removed from the whole conversion was the OEM IC.

Blimey, you have a bigger IC, a oil cooler and diesel cooler, you good to own the coolest Leon here then...

Yes, it responds much better, also chews up the smoke more on top end...

Now this is defying the "more smoke = more poke" story...

Going to get the ECU remmaped again this weekend, im sure alot more horsies can fit in there ...

 

[sooty22]

so it is etter top end???? i am after a bigger ic as after full boot foe a few secs it starts to smoke i think its due to the high inlet temps but ya never know untiy tried lol

 

[MDS]

Well... ther could be many factors ...

But lower intake temps are always beneficial.

And a LONG FLAT ROAD on a fresh (slight chill) clear morning... are always beneficial!

Yeah... and the oil cooler too.... they came JUST IN TIME

Terribly hot here lately...

 

[Number86]

I just got back from the Algarve yesterday!

Yes, it's quite hot there

Though I mostly saw basic spec Ibizas.

I think MDS is lying about his leon!

Gimme some cold... ahhaha cant take this heat no more...

I bought a set of 17" OEM wheels + rubber from the UK.

A user on this forum too.... Thanks for everything HUDDS.

Since they SPORTECs are so ridiculously heavy...

I´ve decided to try these on for a while.


Much better now... The car is much faster off the mark...


Pics ...

R32 Brakes filling the gap...

Oh .. btw.. summer is still starting here fellas, and the beer is getting hot...

 

[jonjay]

I always loved the standard wheels, if only they did them in 18's or 19's.

Car still looks good altho the rear could do with some spacers.

 

[MDS]

Its only temporary, ill throw in some spacers if i keep them on for longer...

I love them OEM wheels too.... Even the previous starfish -shaped model

I think they also alow the cars design to stand out more...



Back to the future...
