slimwiltaz leon cupra mk1

[slimwiltaz]

hey guys and girls, as im pretty new to the forum i thought i would put a few pics up of my car from when i got it till now, any way this is my first turbo car and loving it, ive been into french hatchbacks untill now and so glad ive changed as i love the cupra for any one who is interested the first pic is of my cammed saxo vts which i had before owning the cupra

was a fun little car to drive but got sick of the lack of respect the saxo got haha

when i first purchased my leon

first mod i decided to do was get it lowered which made it look 100% better in my opinion

next i took the badges off the back leaving just the cupra badge on, and decided to get a custom exhaust made up from a place called AAS in the north east, only got the 1 photo but i decided to go for a small ovel tail pipe

got myself a square plate made up and moved it to the left because i had plans to get a fmic and wanted to show it off heres a pic taking at the summer maddness meet from last month shame i didn't have my fmic fitted tho, didn't see many seats there tbh
love this picture

then finally got my fmic fitted done it my self after looking up at a few threads on here

sprayed the front badge black and this is how it stands today

i got a boost gauge fitted and the car is spiking at 19-20psi and holding 16psi the car pulls really hard and even my friends suspect its been mapped, so my future plans are to get it rolling roaded, tidy up the engine bay and hopefully go stage 2. thanks for reading sorry if the threads a bit all over the place but gave it a shot lol

Has anybody painted the stock wheels black and have any pics? Not sure if it will suit the wheels?

 

[slimwiltaz]

Anyone

 

[RaviR50]

looks sweet mate its got the LCR bumper so I would get a set of LCR wheels to suit better but yeah gloss black wheels would look good

 

[slimwiltaz]

Thanks for the input, have been thinking of cr wheels in black

nice saxo , I still miss my old supercharged vts, 200bhp at the wheels of a saxo wasn't to be messed with , my second vts was cammed aswell and this was also quite nippy!

Wow could imagine a charged one to fly! I miss how small and light it was, cheap fun just wasnt reliable enought, then they always get labled 'boy racer' chav cars lol.

Its really a nice car. I like it.

 

[joshy514]

I like the look of fmics but not the bit where the car has one lower grill lol, can't you trim it to fit at all? Also get some LCR alloys

Haha yeah I agree, wouldn't look right with just one in. When I first mounted the cooler the bumper wouldnt go on properly and I couldnt get the grill in, so I re-mounted it a bit further back now everything goes together well

Looking good mate, any pics of the boost gauge... looking for inspiration!

 

[slimwiltaz]

Thanks pal, yeah ill pop some up in a bit for you, its nothing special just a smoked autogauge. Still decent for the price sure it was around the 40 pound mark.

 

[matt_99]

interesting to see all in cost, fitting time and finished product... save me being disappointed

 

[slimwiltaz]

well the gauge cost around 40, then my mechanic who also is my mate fitted it for 25, it took him over an hour tho because it was fiddly finding a place to run the vacuum pipe from engine into the car.

 

[matt_99]

Looking good..!

could you give a link to what intercooler that is and what pipework you used? also were you got that pipework that holds the sensor!

cheers
