what have you done to your car today ?

[Mk1 banana]

Seems ok as it is now. I will monitor. I can imagine tuners arent convinced by them as they tune, the split R may also need adjusting turning into a ball acher..?

Defo be keeping hold of the 007 for now

They are probe to leakage, I wouldn't change mine haha. They weren't impressed when I went for stage one and let them know, still done it and they didn't get any jip with it
When I was running standard, I wound it out (anti clock) till it stopped, back in 19 clicks, then every time I hit limp mode, wound it out a click, turn engine off, back on, try again...
It'll work In the end

Seems I'm not the only one who needed coil packs within minutes of a remap

Shocks, (lowering) springs, new top mounts with bearings all together, ready for installation next week, if 'R' shocks fit the Cupra... Hmmm, lol

Sorry about the long post guys :/

Just found a decent bit of wheel knock on the front, full lock right, pull the bit of wheel poking out and it properly moves...... MOT tomorrow aswell never ending at the moment!! Anyone any ideas? I'm thinking maybe steering rack or wheel bearing!

 

[Dlp1984]

If the wheel moves then its probably the wheel bearings, doubt its the steering rack or a drive shaft

 

[LEE69]

Might be the lower arm bushes

They're polybushed about 10000 ago so I doubt it's these....

I'll have a look later, or see what the MOT flags up.... it's going into a place with a policy thats £50 for the MOT with a free re-test within 14 days so anything wrong I can get one, just all money thats the thing....

I tend to find (a personal opinion) any place that offers a free re test tend to be more picky. Example, I had a mk1 mr2 and it had in the past a bit of welding done, it wasn't the best but was strong. The mot garage I took it to with 2 free retests twice failed it on the weld even though my dad and I welded it up so much it will probably outlast the car, so took it to another garage that offered no free retest and they said it was fine, but was more worried about the hole in the sill the other side by the drivers seat belt but like I say just my personal opinion of course.

Anyway I fitted some stickers to my car cos I'm a sticker wh0re

The wheel bearings on the Leon are designed in a way that even when they're worn and whining like a biatch you don't get wheel movement, just noise.

I'd check your balljoint and track rod ends mate

They do indeed that's why I have another on the way claiming to add 5bhp

 

[L60N R T]

Im delighted to say that today. ..well yesterday but thats not the point... i finally found bought and fitted recaro front and rear seats to my Leon Cupra R.

My old ones were cleaner but they wernt recaros. Sit a bit higher in the recaros than the normal LCR seats but worth it .

Did you take any pics whilst doing the plastidip?

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Nope, its the same as with normal paint. Needs to dry like 30mins between layers. Recommended 3-5 layers.

I reversed mine into a post in tescos car park.

Thanks dude!

Cleaned my throttle body. Think I need to remove the inlet manifold and intercooler and clean them aswell.
