my new FL Leon 1.8TSI Sport

[LeonFRMK1]

sold my MK1 Leon FR with K04 for this... quite happy with the car... waiting on my plates so I can take it for a drive...

 

[RickyD1975]

Looks very nice. What bhp de the !.8T's have....160?? Should still see around 200bhp with a remap.

Enjoy...

Yes 160PS or 158Bhp and 250Nm torque. I assume we don't get due to lack of sales seeing most Leons sold are FR TDi and TDi's in general followed by petrol.

Nice car!!

 

[KzJF]

Yes, they're 160bhp.
Dunno about a remap though..

 

[n_olympios]

These are generally dyno'd to be at approx 180PS stock, with a good remap they can reach 200 and more quite easily.

You don't get that at all in the UK? That's a shame, it's a good engine (although a little peaky). Combined with the new 7-speed DSG gearbox it's a very good car.

nice car mate , there are going to be lots of groans on here soon though about the new sterring wheel , i have a loan car at the moment with the new steering wheel and i keep on pressing the source button by mistake and changing from fm to cd to aux and its driving me mad
i am glad i have to give it back , its mostly when you turn the wheel because its slightly raised not like on the 1st gen of the mk 2 where you have to give the buttons a good press.

Is the same buttons now fitterd to both the A3 and Golf so expect them to spread across more VAG car's!! I suppose it is what you are use to but are not as flush fitting as the pre fl Leon but look better IMO.

Same wheel in the new Ibiza as well, if I'm not mistaken the first car that got the new steering wheel and controls.

They'll either make them so hard to press that your thumb aches, or so light that you end up changing sources every time you take a turn. If anyone from the VAG design group is reading this, there's also the middle route, you know.

Seems strange you have a 2010 car, have done all those mods, and are all set to sell up so soon.....

was think'n the same

 

[LeonFRMK1]

I have had the car for around 6 months now, I do like my leon, but I would prefer something smaller more practical like the ibiza, not to mention it looks better IMO...

i'v had my cupra jst over a year now and i still love it.
what do you mean the ibiza looks better

 

[blind_ripper]

got the same type engine here in mine.
other color and options though.
with a remap we got 199.8PS/380Nm, full stock engine and only 3500km's.

The Ibiza is nice but you will regret it long term as you have a nice looking car with a Peach of an engine and the Leon interior is slightly better. To be on a performance par you will need an FR or Cupra 1.4 TSi.

I would get an Ibiza SC on test for at least 24 hours before making the change.

I'm going to keep her for a while, after all, is looking good...

some decent pictures

Car is looking good buddy, but what boost gauge and vent holder are you using in this picture? I'd like to get my hands on one.

 

[LeonFRMK1]

the gauge is PODI ( http://www.podi.ca/ ) and the pod, is custom made...
