Cupra Widebody
Haven't been on here in a long while and just saw a video posted on edition 38 of your car racing the lamborghini!
Its come a very long way from the first page where i also commented just as you had put it up.
What power is this animal putting out?

Yes almost hard to believe it is the same car even for me.
But im quite happy of the outcome. :)

No idea now little more than it was new it should atleast have? ;)

Hi Mygel!

I read all Your thread about this "Green Bomb" You made!!
This is amazing project of the human and technologies. :clap:

Question I would like to ask is: Do Audi S3 2008 (265 PS) is good donor for conversion to AWD of my 2007 Seat Leon Cupra 2.0 Tfsi (240 PS)??
What problems I would come across?

My Seat have Forge Twintake, Forge DV. No other upgrades.


Thanks before.

Hello Mate,

Thanks :D

Yes i used an Audi S3 8P 2008 to take parts from.
Well not so much problems if you can Cut and weld metall.
Biggest problem for me was the coding and connecting of Haldex and Second fuellevelsensor.

But after several hours reading ELSA-WIN i found the correct connections.
I have also put out the Wiring to connect Haldex, Second fuellevelsensor and also the TOG sensor here in the thread for thoose who want to do the same conversion.
Saves a couple of hours atleast ;)

Cheers

Been looking at this animals photos on Facebook! Keep it up

thanks i will try :)


tried Google translate but it didnt translate so good :p :)

Hi Michel, Is it Haldex gen 2 or 4 you have?

it is Haldex Gen2 from a Audi S3 8P 2008
Seen the wiring? i wrote it earlier in the thread if/when youll need it also second fuellevelsensor :) if you cant find it let meknow i can send it to you.

and Mates, I was here - reading from early morning. To understand everything. It was great!

My own Cupra - still Stage 1 by Overload - but it is also amazing! 0,95Bar on 6 900 Rpm :p

Thanks mate! Fun that you like it! :D

When we got some time over i thought i might as well reinforce or atleast make the sideskirts a little more rigid. (right word?) :p

So started to clean with much Brakeclean in side betveen the car and Sideskirts.

After much cleaning so it was clean started to put something that i dont know the english word for but probably you will know by seeing the pics :p

They wrote to shake it hard for a couple of minutes so i did..

Should be ok. Just to cut away the rest after it has expanded and hardened.

Will cut it away next time we will take it back up on the lift.

Something missing?

57092_10151102270880168_888671582_o.jpg

57092_10151102270880168_888671582_o.jpg



So now engines is out.

Will now next week exactly what we will do.

We talked about overbore, Cams, lower CR headwork and so on.
Lets see what happens :)

Also have some plans for interior but have to see if the economy will Allow it..

Are these something for the Seat? hmm im little confused. I think they look ok.
But Bride in a Euro car? thought they was mostly for Jap cars..

The cloath on them can be mixed. if ill go ill opt for the Carbon.

if im right the 2 piece on the pics weighs in around 15kgs Dont know what the original chair weighs tough? But the weight isnt all want it to look good and feel good ;)


My first choice would be a Set or 2 of Recaro Sportster CS But so damn expensive..

But in the end it Might end upp that resew the whole interior instead..
If the time allows it :p

Will start to update as soon as i have more.

I have canceled my plans, cause I checked out laws of reconstruction.
I adore Migels tuning, its very expensive case in this forum.
His car is some kind of PRODIGY ;)

hi,

My name is Nicky from Malta ( the little island in the middle of the Mediterrenean Sea)

firstly i'm just a newbie on this forum and even to seat leon hehe.

Is the widebody kit still available from JE Design? cose i ahve been browsing on their online shop for ages and cannot seem to find it. to be honest all i want is the arches, already got sideskirts + front bumper + rear roof spoiler. Just getting them part by part per month hehehe.

BTW stunning leon !!! a very beautiful example on the road, and on the track :)

ohh btw its the same kit with the cupra for the tdi fr 08 model right?

Thanks in advance
Nicky

well last update we took out the engine.
So we could lower CR so we could get out more power :)

Engine was out on Sunday and left to my friend who will help me put it togheter with new parts and so. :)

On wednesday they called from a big international Company that they have found my car on internet and wanted to use it in a Commercial. And they wanted to rent it on wednesday the week after... i told them i dont have any engine in it.. but mentioned i have my spare engine that we could put in.. i think it should be complete :p and we should be able to pussle it togheter before that..

Long story short heres some pics...

Another great update mYGel. I wonder what commercial/product would use a car like yours?? We'll see soon enough I'm sure :D

I really enjoy your updates, so please keep them coming. It's the place where our dreams are your reality! The car seems fast enough, so with further upgrades to the engine, will you be expecting to see greater gains, or will it be to extract the last few bhp and to further improve realiability?

Hopefully the interior has been stripped for a rollcage, and that some interior pieces will be going back in? New front seats?

Anyways, have a good Christmas buddy :)
