The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
Many reckon modifying is a waste of money, personally I reckon buying brand new or nearly new cars are an even bigger waste - say £4k loss in year 1 on a very ordinary shopping trolley.
Whose the mug now?
Whose the mug now?
I havent got an exact figure however its in the thousands yes. As you said I am pragmatic about these things so it doesnt bother me as I have had the car for 4 years now.
JonJay... Hows the apexi intake working for you? Anddd im looking at getting a full hose kit, i have the turbo hoses ( away from the turbo ) but would like the hoses for the induction onwards, and from the manifold back... any recommendations of sites or places i could visit to help me out? cheers
Apexi is working well.
I am not sure what you got exactly? When you say turbo hoses away from turbo you talking about Turbo Outlet pipe, pancake pipe and hose connecting to intercooler?
only the hoses away from the turbo, like two pipes... i would like ones on display really if you know what i mean. Excuse my lack of hose knowledge lol
Rather than flicking through this giant thread, thought id ask for your recommendation... Ta anyways
By reading up yourself, you can make your own recommendation as Jonjay doesnt really say there is only one way, the thread has many avenues to do things, but what is the main concern with the way Jonjay did his... its with quality which comes at a price, many which..... wont fork out for..... so go to the index, find the intercooler post and grab a cuppa and get reading
You might learn something towards your "lack of hose knowledge"
....Hence his recomendation wouldnt be much help unless that person was in the exact same position, but people have spoken on the thread of alternatives after his posts to those intrested in the same route but have more time on there hands unlike Maz who had no car or patience to research it out himself... if he had, he would have, but in all honesty I think he chose the best route, although expensive, will pay off in the long run.Depends if you're going silly turbo or notWhat Slick doesn't say is that Maz was already walking down a road that he'd gone too far down to stop and turn back. Going for a more expensive but ultimately better custom solution was the answer to his particular problem.
Which was unfortunately/fortunately accelerated by the demise of your standard one or was that clutch, you've changed so much
well i guess ill just read through then... i have a hybrid turbo diesel so i may have to choose carefully, it would seem. Cheers

Please do Jay there is good info there.
I know Brad, just been super busy lately.Maz, your slacking, your car was looking filthy at AmD today
Yea Nick said it fitted ok. Thats step 1 complete for the time being.
Thanks mate, shame it was dirty. Never really leave it as bad as it was.Agree - I think I also saw your car at AMD today along with another Black mk1 Leon (which I decided to park next to). Some very fine looking motors in the car park and today was worth every single penny too
It didn't look particularly dirty in respect - mine was immaculate when I went down there this morning but with the rain showers followed by fairly warm sun it was tending to bake the water droplets onto every surface of the car - hate this!
Overall I was very impressed by the service and the quality of the work carried out, I can really see why you go back to them so regularly. Ive already got plans to go back when my wallets recovered from today.
