MK1 Leon FR TDI, Stealth Edition [PREPPING FOR SALE]

[carl325]

Loving the car, looks great. I've got a FR 150 myself and am looking to do a few subtle mods.
Can you tell me where you got the Fabia rear blade and front Bosch ones from?
Also does the K+N make any difference and how much was it?
Did you sell the original Sat nav that came with the car?

Sorry for all the questions but haven't a clue when it comes to modding!


Cheers

Just a few pics after a quick clean, polish and detail with autoglym products

Hi mate, got the Bosch front aero wipers here:

the fabia rear kit here:

The K&N panel filter here:

Didn't really notice much difference with the K&N panel filter on its own, but might work better along with other mods, like sports cat etc. At best though i can just take it out and clean it whenever i want with no need to ever buy a new one again. Yes i sold the original sat-nav with the CD changer for £200 to a MK4 Golf owner.

Fitted a mi-fi to the car over the weekend. £60 with 1GB of data on 3 pay-and-go

Allows connection to any wireless device when on the move such as laptop, ipod touch, ipad, Sony PSP, Nintendo DSI etc . Great for passengers or a facetime call on iPhone 4.

Also has a slot for microSD alowing up to 32GB of data to be accesssed from it via wireless.

Ok started to install an iPad in the car now. Its currently balancing over my headunit, so just need to make a custom clip to fit in the middle air vents to hold the iPad in place. Its streaming via bluetooth to the headunit so all sound from music, videos, games, sat-nav etc are coming out the cars speaker system. Can connect it to my in car wifi for internet surfing aswell.

Tinted the White bits on my rear lights over the weekend

Oh just reading back on my own thread and I know what your talking about now......the rear lights

Just put masking tape on all the red bits and done 2 layers of tint spray on the White bits, they came out pretty good.

Got my leon liquid gauge from racediagnostics and installed it today in the drivers air vent and tested it. Very impressed with it and all its features. Even used the vag fault finding to tell me what the orange light on my dash was. Turns out glow plugs 1,3,4 need replacing although i reset it and the lights gone out for now anyway.

Seeing as mine is a diesel some features such as lambada, exhaust temp, engine misfire, timing correction dont work, but i do get the following:

Engine crankshaft BHP
Engine Crankshaft Torque
Turbo Boost Pressure
Turbo Command Pressure
Mass Air Flow
Air Intake Temp
Coolant Temp
N75 Position
Dyno Plot
Oil Temp
multi display
0-60 & 0-100 runs
speed & RPM digital display
VAG rest and fault finding codes.
lots of different settings

very nice

 

[M20FES]

changed the front tyres for 2 new Toyo Proxy T1-R's shocked at how badly damaged they were with the tracking out, had the tracking done 2. Bad news is 3 of my alloys are buckled so had to use lots of weights to help balance them, so i will be on the lookout for a new set of 18" rims maybe even 19's.
