Leon cupra tdi hybrid 385lbft

[john_tdi]

Hi all, never bothed to do this before, but thought as I'm thinking fo selling I might show the car off before it goes:

not got a pic standard but this is as near as it.

just had a lcr splitter de badge and few bits bobs

next came a revo map and bmc plus full non res milltek with downpipe

oh and the audi s6 wheels 18s

then came the 312 front upgrade with grooved and drilled discs and mintex1144 pads

and rears to 256 vented with same setup

later came tarox g88s with mintex 1155 pads then ds2500 pads

then came a vt2 allard turbo which blew 6 months in!

then was replaced with a brand new TD unit and sfs hoses

racetech gauge in the heater vent now

removed the rear milltek and replaced with a huge downpipe without a box. helps with power, plus dont have the clean the back much!

I was going to get the bumper flushed, but the exhaust has grown on me, and I quite like it now as it is. also got the front/rear roll bars from kw and full powerflex kit (everything has been done apart from dogbone) I fitted the dogbone bushes, but couldnt live with it, so replaced with new oem from vag, and tbh its still very effective. just putting a new one on reduces wheel hop!

the rear boot has been debadged and resprayed, then later the S was colour coded too. oh and mk5 wiper.

now sporting lcr wheels refurbed and coloured fiat grey, matched with the mirror caps and front badge.

brembo gt junior kit (basically lcr) 323mm etc

alloy pipe for intake

brand new lcr bumper

kw camber/caster kit

 

[john_tdi]

sfs lower kit

new engine pics with new sfs kit and few bits and bobs

did have a neuspeed washer cap too, but the blo*dy thing came off!

dumped the bmc for a jetex, the same one the lcr boys seem to be getting good results from. the 150 tdi has a 80mm neck too.

brand new R Line gear knob the option grey stitch

also tt pedals and tt sport 240 suede handbrake. I did have the wheel too, but the cost of the airbag was too silly, so I've since sold it on

 

[john_tdi]

rears now are just grooved with mintex pads

I was going to put race 783 injectors in but after looking at my old mot the other day I've only done 4k in 8 months so I cant really justify the car anymore as I dont do the mileage that I used too. so I've sold them as it looks like she might go soon.

theres probably loads fitted I've not mentioned but hay ho.

thanks
John

Nice car mate, not sure on the tail pipe, but can see the benifits, always washing the soot off the back of mine.

Does having the jetex make any differance? as have read there's no point.

whats the cost to go hybrid on a diesel?

 

[gezmeister]

[GlanzaV]

What's he exact colour of those wheels? Or is it just Fiat Grey lol! Quite like it!

I was going to flush the bumper. I didnt like it at first myself but its a grower.

on stock cars or mapped stage ones, then no the jetex is probably overkill. It does help on my hybrid. the bmc was ok, but soon it hit its limits, once I pushed the car more.

I bought a brand new turbo from turbo dynamics, I think it was just under £800, not 100% sure. Then map which was around 500. and theres loads of over things to buy once thats done, clutch etc

I asked the paint shop I use to paint them Anthracite.

When I asked what it was they said it was a fiat grey. I'll find out for you.

The wheels weren't that clean in the pics. Once they are, and in the right light, they do look quite nice. It's a mettalic colour, so they look quite nice in the sun.

Looks nice mate

 

[john_tdi]

cheers guys. I've spent a small fortune on it.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Haven't we all just think if you brought an lcr you would have had most of that as standard lol and a better engine lol

 

[john_tdi]

its faster than a stage 1 lcr and still does 40 to 60 mpg combined! different engine but not better.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Lol I was joking , I want ur kw caster kit

 

[brownie]

Very nice! I just got my PD150 and love it! Don’t think I’m going hybrid as much as I would love to defo going to remap etc!

 

[john_tdi]

Lol I was joking , I want ur kw caster kit

i had it for a good price, but they seem really expensive now. dunno why.

does make a difference,

just over 2 degree's negative and the tyres still wear even.

 

[JamJay]

Looks brilliant!

I've never seen one of the KW camber/caster kits before, how does it work and where did you get it from? Is it a worth while mod? I take it works with all Leons, the LCR too and is compatible with all suspension makes?
