mk1 leon cupra work in progress.

[scott180]

hello all, been a member for a little while now so thought id start a readers ride thread.

i brought my leon early this year, completely standard with fsh.
although it had 121,000 on the clock it still pulls

 

[ibizaboi]

Have you got any plans for her yet??

 

[scott180]

yes. stage 2 revo'd with supporting mods. which i will upload pictures soon. if my phone lets me. the first link didnt seam to work

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Plans sound good mate i use photobucket for uploads but sometimes it can be a challenge for some reason

 

[scott180]

wooo figured out links

one of the first mods was to replace the standard rear silencer with a universal one.then give the engine bay a bit of colour alond with a filter change.

next was the n249 bypass and recirc.and a few hoses

 

[scott180]

next was to fit a boost gauge. i heard these leon run around7-9psi so thought any a boost gauge reaching 30psi was pointless. then found a gauge and fitting kit on fleabay for £20

got fed up of the yellow lights so replaced with 6000k hid and led bulbs

 

[scott180]

time for some power couldnt decide on stage 1 or 2. wallet decided for me

 

[scott180]

fitting the cooler was not a fun job cooler is off a mk4 golf rated to 400bhp. it fitted but with a bit of persuasion

unfortunatly got no pictures of the cobra catback before i fitted it

 

[scott180]

most recent was the remap

thanks to jkm i was supprised at the result from a 12 year old motor with 127,000 on the clock

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Looking good mate top job, loving the engine bay very nice

 

[scott180]

going to look into having the rocker cover and inlet mani mirror polished at some point. and maybe powdercoat alloys.

 

[scott180]

wrapped my badge and trip in carbon film. love the stuff.

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Did you find it hard to do, looks like a tidy job you have done

 

[scott180]

nah. pretty easy with a heatgun. sort of acts like vacuum forming

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Ah I'm with you that's good would like to do front badge and boot latch on mine. Where would you say is the best place to buy the vinyl from?

 

[scott180]

i brought a 75cm x 75cm off ebay for about £10.

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Sweet cheers I'll take a look

 

[scott180]

scott180's lc180

put an extension on my filter. next is heatshield.

changed the upper fuel hoses as they were starting to perish

 

[lukehowardd]

Looks ace mate. Keep it up

 

[scott180]
