RobDon's Leon -

[RobDon]

I've told my insurance company about all modifications, Greenlight are good with adding mods onto your policy.

 

[RobDon]

Well to insure a bog standard Leon Cupra was around £200 for me, with all mods just under £500.

 

[v-g]

Excellent work Rob! Nice to see what all the mods have done. Happy for a while now, or?

 

[RobDon]

Yes happy with that for a while, no point in going BT with anything under 350bhp really as it wouldn't be a worthwhile cost-effective upgrade.

 

[RobDon]

Superb result there Rob, makes it all worth while. When the apexi is running 100% there maybe a little bit more to be had.
Your calcs have all worked out spot on, how the csa of a cupra maff exceeds that of a lcr by 16% is beyond my maths but those results can't be argued with.
As you've said before with your setup theres little point in going for BT.
Great to see a car perform as well as it looks, so the question has to be what are you planning next for it.

The LCR MAF housing is 16% larger than the Cupra.

Good to meet you today Rob. Very nice car you have there. Sorry I never got to speak to you too much. Must remember not to go out drinking the night before a r/r session!

Your car sounded really nice on the rollers, and your rubber must have been better quality than mine - I have about half my tyres all over the side of my car!

Anyway, great figure, great car

Great results, Rob. \makes all the hard work worth while

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Nice one Rob bet your over the moon with that!

What was it at the wheels, Rob?

 

[Damoegan]

What was it at the wheels, Rob?

I made the journey up to Aberdeen for the Wallace Performance rolling road day, couple of hours drive up and same back. My car made 317.3bhp (279.4bhp @ the wheels) and 285lbft

There you go, Dave

 

[DPJ]

There you go, Dave

Missed that. Cheers. Respectable result.

 

[lil3520]

great work. its amazing what you have done to your motor.

all i can say is " you are the master "

regards

ANDY.

 

[RobDon]

Thanks everyone, yes I am well chuffed.

I won't be taking the power any further, feels great on the road, has good traction and is well within the safe limits of the stock rods. Having the Apexi boost controller set up should tweak the results a little higher but that's all. I might invest in trackday wheels and tyres and go back to trackdays next year ... we'll see.

I may at some point in the future get uprated rods fitted and take it beyond 350bhp but that's a long way off, unless something breaks!

 

[Willie]

Really nice to meet you Rob.
We'll be back on the RR soon once we get our other individual problems sorted out so if you want to arrange it together we might get a discount if there is a few of us again.

Will be very nice to see you car do what its crying out to do, laps of KH

Hope you can continue to be happy with the power and just enjoy the car now

 

[RobDon]

Likewise Willie, was good to meet everyone, was good to get out and give the car some stick! Yes I agree with you, I think over the winter I'll get the baffled sump fitted and invest in a set of track wheels and tyres and we can all get on track next year!

You have the wheels already Rob - The Pro Race 1.2's are ideal

 

[Willie]

Yup
The alloys you have with better rubber will be perfect for the track, just need a second set for normal road driving.
As I mentioned to you at the meet, it looks like there will be lots of Seat getting some track action next year.
Try
www.trackscotland.co.uk
www.sidc.co.uk

for track days.
Usually a bit after Christmas till they release the days for next year.

 

[RobDon]

Yep, I'll keep what I have for the road and get a second set with track tyres, if I can't stretch to that I'll just switch the Falkens to Hankook's.

epic car mate.. I wanna see it in the flesh haha

epic car mate.. I wanna see it in the flesh haha

Me too! I'm really tempted to take a day off and drive all the way up there just to see the workmanship and experience it for myself, obviously with Rob's permission

The problem is, I can imagine the credit card taking a hammering before I'd even got home
