Very nice car mate, not unlike my own one although still in the early stages of moddin it.
Thanks again for the exhaust and glad I stuck with it after the early teething problems.
Cheers

I've gone from thinking your torque figure was really high, to thinkings its a little low?

Probably due to the fact my millteck has been blowing mate, i got a replacement fitted today at J.Gracie's and i am noticing a difference higher up the rev range a bit. Also seems louder, probs needing bedded in.

Killed 2 birds with one stone today, not only did i get my millteck system replaced under millteck warranty, but i took ownership of my new uprated clutch :)

Hopefully ready for crail on the 24th for a blast :D

Been quiet on the mod front of late, car is battling through the winter months, with salt and grit on the roads, and frozen hose pipes she has been in some state. But this morning was the first chance to get her properly washed and polished.

Here's a couple of pics of what she looked like last week

I decided to go all out and used the two bucket method of auto glym bodywork shampoo conditioner and my new meguiars mit after a rinse. Then dried off the whole car with a drying cloth.
I then applied Autoglym ultra shine panel by panel and polished it out and the car came up with a really good clean shine. I then finished off with adding red colour magic shampoo to help enhance the paint work .

Here's a few pics of the car after a 3 and a half hour slog.

ah i see! all the spoilers i could see were coming from poland and germany! it definetly looks the buisness! Only got in october so with xmas and that not had much spare cash to blow on it, spoilers def on the cards though! thinkin about a remap on the summer but im wary of the fuel consumption going through the roof!

On a stage 1 map to 200bhp mate, i noticed an increase in fuel it was only when i went to stage 2, 240bhp that i saw the consumption start to suffer a wee bit :) I know a guy that will do you a 200-205 bhp remap with 320 ft lbs of torque for £200, good friend of mine, and scottish owner of angel tuning. Will have to get a meet shortly bud:)

aye that sounds ideal, do quite a bit of miles so looking for a compromise between a wee power boost and keeping the fuel consumption reasonable! always thought it was an impossible task! aye mate definetly! noticed you've got the 18's as well, crackin wheels!

Another update i forgot to mention last week, me nd my mate were fannying about on his new gadget, a 0-100km timer that you plug into your Diagnostic port, cost a pretty penny, but we gave it a wee blast on an old industrial estate near by.....
His remapped Audi 2.0 tdi managed a 7.3 secs to 100km/h and my leon at it's best got a 6.4 and worst a 6.9.
Will try and get some info on where he got it, but i know it was a few hundred quid :S
