What the next mod you've got planned mate? I'll take a guess at the Milltek? Haha
I got my SSS wrapped and the tailgate spoiler in gloss black and its looking great + saved a lot compared with if I'd let Seat paint and fit it! Jack 1 - 0 Stealers :D

I've still not decided what I'm going to do exhaustwise yet, still looking at a custom one, just need to save some money up lol. I've found someone local to remap it though and he's offering the Revo 20% discount until the end of this month :D
Did you go to Gti?

I bet you can't wait for it mate! I'm looking forward to seeing it tbh haha.

I will get some pics on when I get back home, I'm on my way to Bournemouth atm and I've been sat on trains since 6pm! Argh! Haha.. by this point I'm beginning to consider suicide lol. I taken loads of pics since but I've not been on SCN for weeks and weeks.

Same here mate I had a lot of expenses last month which left me skint, at least I'll have all my insurance money saved up for my insurance though! How much is yours mate?
Wish I could of gone but at least I now have more time to do more mods before whatever the next show is. I don't suppose you'd be interested in buying my Forge BOV? I'm buying a recirc instead.

Haha you me both mate, mega excited lol

How come you're on your way to Bournemouth? Work related?
My insurance was 683 so about 150 cheaper which I'm not complaining about! When you up for renewal?

I'm not really a fan of the bov tbh mate...don't like the hissing sound it gives off. Flog it on eBay, I'm sure someone wants to buy one.

I'm still considering an oval backbox but I've seen so many different tips on Powerflow :lol:

Yes mate, basically... SUPLEX (the company I work for) owns an MG F, because we developed a Hydragas replacement kit for them (as with time they leak out the nitrogen gas in them and all the tooling to make them was scrapped when Rover went into receivership). Last weekend our MD and his mate that lives in Bournemouth went to Classic Le mans, our MD went in his Morgan and his mate in the MG F, when they got back our MD drove his Morgan back to Chesterfield and the MG F was still in Bournemouth, so I went to pick it and drove back today calling in at Nitron, Triple Eight, and about 5 other Motorsport company premoting the SUPLEX Racecoil range. So thats the summary of my day haha.

Thats not so bad, what are the details of that?
Mines due for renewal 1st Sept, and atm I've got quotes of £501 with admiral :D. 3 years no claims and 4 years driving.

I know what you mean mate, I've got fed up of it. But its more for a OE Seat Recirc Valve than it is for a Forge one, and seen as how I'm going for a remap I may aswell get an uprated one.

Busy day then lol
Well this is my 2nd year on comp but I've been driving for 6/7 years, oput my mum and dad to bring it down.
Yours isn't bad at all..I'm with admiral as well.

You def getting mapped this month? I wanna get mine mapped now! Lol...I think I'm gonna go with Apr instead revo now. There's a thread on Apr in the mk2 Leon section that I read which kinda made it up for me.

Cars looking good Yale, Shame about your oil issues though. Id rather them fix the problem than keep topping it up. Bad look finding a nail and glass in 2 tyres.

Remap it- you wont regret the extra ooompf it gives :)

Cheers buddy, yeah I'd rather the oil consumption be fixed too...just gotta wait on Seat to sort it out!
Yeah it was a right bitch finding the glass after the tyre with the nail had been sorted out...buy so far so good no air has come out.

I want to remap it so bad but 600 is a lot to save up so its gonna have to wait...how much was your jabba the hut map ? Got the milltek to get first which shouldnt be long! :D

I've got my mum and dad on my policy aswell which I think helps, but aswell I put I have access to other cars as I'm on works insurance, other than that I don't know why mine is so cheap as I'm only 21

Yeh I think so mate, I want never gets ;) haha. Tbh I'd love to get mine mapped now aswell but the only wayI'll get it this month is to make sure i avoid buying anything else! :lol:
The main reason for getting it done this month is because of the 20% discount :p, is it really 600 quid for the Apr?
What do they do above and beyond Revo? Cos with the discount mine will be £380, I'll have a look at that thread later matey. + I'll make sure I get the spoiler pics on today haha, I was way to tired last night after the day I had yesterday lol.

Your NCB and work insurance prob helped.......:( lol

Haha..well when I say that I want..I ALWAYS get haha :p
APR is around 500 sorry..I think, same price as revo but without the discount obv. Well judging from the thread, people have had problems with the revo maps and customer service is poor apparently whereas APR are excellent...I keep changing my mind though lol. I'm gonna look around abit first because I want a dsg map and my mate showed me a company that does dsg maps so need to find out which company it is as I cant remember and ask them if they can do a 1.4tsi dsg map. Also APR upgrades to stage 2 is free apparently as well whereas you have to pay to go to stage 2 with revo...even though its only £50 more I think?
The main thing on my mind though is the milltek exhaust first...once that is out the way then I'll think about the map...or I might get the ITG kit after the exhaust THEN get a map.

EDIT...also APR can store diff settings and you can change them via the cruise control stalk whereas you need the SPS for revo which costs abit extra as well

I got 600 from reading a APR thread in the mk2 leon section...prob less for the cupra. Revo is 400 without the discount but then you got the VAT to add on as well so under 500? I might have a look with Jabba as well...just keeping my options open at the mo.

Are admiral covering your remaps? I rang them last week and the guy said that they dont cover engine remapping. Unless thats because i'm 18 :(

Yeah they can cover me for remaps...well I chose the option to see how much it bumped my premium up and it was only an extra 30-40 quid....I think its because you're 18 mate, I'm 24 (25 in Sept) so I've got the driving experience and I think quite a lot of boc/cupra owners are with admiral and had maps on their cars

Messaged awesome and the Apr map is 399 plus VAT, the switchability from setting to setting might not be available dueto New developments and the bhp figures are expected to be 215-220 which is the same with revo. Now I have to decide which map to get in the next few months!

Well it's confirmed that I will be picking up my soon to be milltek cat-back exhaust on Tuesday then hopefully get it fitted on Wed or Thurs (fingers crossed its Wed!! :D) Mate said that his dad will fit the exhaust on for me as he did with my springs.

Don't know whether to get the tips a darker colour so they blend in with the car...I've got a spare sheet of carbon fibre left but would wrapping the tips be a waste of time due to the heat it gives resulting in the wrap start peeling off?..any ideas?...And less of the leave it dirty gags!
