Platinum Grey Leon FR TDI Hybrid - The End!

[alx_chung]

No problem mate just let me know when your ready.


Yea it will be a busy year next year. Not really got any specific figures in mind however I am looking to improve the power delivery and get the torque holding as much as possible through the rev range.

Watermeth kit is being sized up. Already got backing from kenny@amd to go ahead with this for next year - were not sure what gains are to be had but they are meant to be pretty impressive for deisels.

Sounds all good
Not sure what to do with mines next. Need new rear brake pads and it will be going in for its first MOT come April though.

hello mate any chance you can point me in the direction of all the sizes of poly bushes you have put in the front end of the leon as i am havineing trouble in what size bushes they are as the is a few diffrent sizes thanx much apprciated

 

[jonjay]

Powerflex bushes or superflex ones?

 

[gazzaharwood]

whats diffrence i have just bought a powerflex dog bone thanx email asap cheers

 

[Willie]

Gazza, the Powerflex factory burned to the ground the other day so stocks will be very limited and restocking will take forever, best off looking towards superflex

Below freezing detailing
-----
Yesterday i detailed a BMW...washing a car in below freezing conditions was interesting. Water was just freezing on contact with the car

Anyway here is a small preview shot to show fruits of my labour.

pretty impressive 50/50 shot. Got to be one of the swirliest cars to date for sure.

That looks fantastic, really see the difference with the 50/50. I know what you mean with the freezing, my 'severe winter' screen wash mix is solid and at -10 this morning car washing is a big no no.

Massive thank you to DK, Probee, UncleFester, Skorchio.....dav3, lm_gauci, R44ms, brad1, Husbandofstinky + many many more people who are great friends to me (sorry if I forgot to mention you )

sounds like a merry merry speach (drunk)


well its good to see others inspire others to do the work always a pleassure looking at your RR to see what youve done next

seem top notch on detailing - how much does it cost on average , cant see my driving up your end but to give an idea

also see youve got that pancake pipe delivered

hopw you dont mind me posting some pics up here to show you (can deleta afterwards if you want let me know )

one of the boys fabricated one up but unsure its gona work heres some pic of it

cheers

 

[jonjay]

Much appreciated Andrew.

It will fit but the problem will be there is no bracket to hold it in place. This is essential as the weight of it will pull the Turbo outlet pipe onto the driveshaft like what happened to me with the SFS one. Shouldnt be hard making a bracket to hold it up.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

nah shouldnt be hard , altho my thoughts were its not smooth internally a ridged effect

Well I personally would not use it for that because of that reason. I think it would cause turbulence?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

thats what my thoughts were , might cause some resistance against it like

also had my Graphs posted up by mark wales , from that Rolling road we all had in wales recently , cant understand why it dips a bit higher up the Rpm range ??

cheers

id take that with a pinch of salt mind. my second run on that day had more power at the wheels, yet less at the flywheel! also mine was run in 5th. My hybrid demands alot more are too, wasnt impressed with the hairdryer. last time I went there he used a larger fan also.

2010 Has started.

Spare wheel has now been refurbished and ready to have a falken 912 or toyo t1r stuck on it. As it is only a spare might just go with the cheaper option.

Car is at hayward and scott for the week getting some work done. Quite excited about it so looking forward to showing you all whats been done next Saturday.
