Good to have it back. Although the plan is to take it back of the road at the end of the sumer for some more work.

never have tucked the wires very well at all tbh! i completely removed un-nessisary ones, disconnected the earths and made new ones under neath the chassis rails. Then ran the loom underthe engine mount as apposed to above it as is stock. To do it properly you need to take the engine out, and extend some wires which i will be doing later this year. Its not technical work, its just a hell of a lot of work for a very subtle difference, you will realise this as soon as you start!

Something i had meant to do for a while. Make a sump guard! Its made out of 2mm steel and is bent in such a way to add strength and adds surprisingly a large amount of protection. The only thing that gets damaged still is my gearbox mount, but nothing can be done about that unfortunately.

Holy car revival.

I was wondering where this Leon went to. Glad to see it back in action. Looking forward to see how it progresses.

so what engine is going in its place?

 

[Applemobile]

May not look like i have done much, but i have I have completely removed all traces of Air\Con, because a/c is for fags. I have removed all appropriate wiring from the loom, and separated the lighting and screenwash, extended where necessary and ran that wiring down the inside of the wing. how this side of the engine bay looks now is basically how it will look, the PAS reservoir will be relocated down into the hole at the front under teh chassis leg, and the coolant resevoir will be removed completely. All brackets you can see will be removed and everything smoothed.

so what engine is going in its place?

Once my engine has been sold i will have the room to be able to take shipment of an R32 lump.

 

[cupra.al]

i thought you might say that,any other plans for the new engine when you get it?

 

[tyrer]

Nice... R32 lump excellent!!!

 

[Applemobile]

i thought you might say that,any other plans for the new engine when you get it?

Initially i would like to just get it in and running. Then go from there!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Back from the dead. Can't wait to see this done again

 

[drka-drka]
