Re: buch leon cupra r 400+ as it stands UPDATE PG 12-PICS

the whole under chassi is diferent on the leon 4wd you would be better off buying the 4wd leon and putting ur engine in there . and then swapping ur dash etc for right hand drive would cost£££££££ to convert a fwd leon to 4wd cheaper to do the engine swap .. as for the meet mate its on the a20 in sidcup



Do they even do these Leons in the UK?

Nope don't think they do tbh, but swaping engine dash etc would be easyer than making a lcr 4wd

Nope - Europe only.

To convert a Leon to 4WD you'd need to find a donor Audi S3 or TT, cut out the rear floor section (from fuel tank to end of boot) and weld it into the leon then use the S3/TT drivetrain. It has been done plenty of times on Golfs in the US.

I've been interested in getting the Race logic traction control system fitted, spoke to Mark ages ago when I bought my turbo kit... should be interesting to see how you get on with this.

this looks like a very nicely put together motor, plus the engine bay looks well looked after and tidy too.

Have you done anything with the brakes yet mate? If not, will you be doing? I can imagine that you could do with getting something better than the standard Brembos with all that power!
