Team GTR - Leon Cupra R

[EL]

Well got the car back today from Exhaust Express in forest hill and what can I say apart from YEAH BABY!! Car always sounds nuts but now it's just got evil and dark. Loving it guys did a great job on it as my custom made exhaust needed adjusting so it all mated properly.

Time to go burn some V Power

Buy one!!!

Let the LCR breathe El will have around the same power as me now I reckon

 

[Br!dges]

Would love to Tom but all money going towards house deposit!

Fingers crossed I'll come across a bargain?!?

 

[tyrer]

Get it on the rollers!!!!

Good to see so many high numbers around now on the 20v engines

 

[EL]

Do it Bridges you know it makes sense

Cheers gents. Will hopefully get it back on the rollers soon. Just fitted the SFS TIP, new MAF and new N75 valve. Scanning the car now to ensure all is well then it's time for a good long blast. Perfect weather so I am guessing a lot of V Power is about to get burned

Cheers buddy. Yeah looking forward to seeing how it does. Im more so interested to so how it now holds the power throughout the rev range

Lol can't beat the 'ECU adapt' drives! Always a good blast

El how does the car feel now, any different? Hopefully it does lol.

Much better now mate. No more over boosting, no more fluttering etc. That N75 was definitely cooked to say the least. Next up a service with new plugs etc Still running crappy OEM spark plugs

Brembo Refurb

Well it was way overdue to say the least but finally the callipers have been fully re-painted and looking fresh once again. Took the car down to TED Tuning yesterday aka D.K with some help (or more like banter) from T0m and myself

Some embarrassing pictures on how they looked:

Callipers stripped and plenty of newspaper surrounding the car ready for re-painting:

Paint being applied to the callipers:

Cheeky pic of Darren's very sexy uniform:

Rears also getting the treatment:

Now for the final look on how they have turned out:

Rears

Extremely pleased with how they have turned out. Great job done. No more pink and ugly callipers for my car

 

[DOLBY]

looks great dude.

 

[t0m]

Looks dapper

Cheeky git with the pics, lol.

TED Tuning is the way forward.

 

[RDS]

Look spot on mate

 

[jonjay]

Thanks gents for the positive comments but it's all down to Darren and his handy work. Hats off to you mate, it all looks superb.

The forge caps I am completely shocked at how you managed to get them looking so fresh once again. They were completely chewed up before but now looking like new.

Next up is the big engine clean up before Bromley Pageant and then we good to go. Looking forward to it now. Even if it rains the bonnets going up lol
