The budget way but good quality, nothing worse than buying things twice. I'll look into brake lines. I would love some LCR wheels but they don't often come up for sale without driving round the country. I have a soft spot for those older civic's, doubt many are still on the road due to being tracked and parked in a ditch on their roofs. I'm thinking £400-£500 on coils, can't quite stretch to KW's but AP's sound like a good option. Also seen v-max ones out there in my budget but unsure of quality.

BC Racing coilovers are excellent. Proper quality product. Great on road and track.
Fully adjustable. About £720 on an R.
Question for you.
Why have you added an FR badge to a Cupra?
Im pretty sure the mk1 FR was a diesel.
Should have a Cupra badge there instead I recon.

FR’s came in both petrol & diesel, Seat removes the Cupra badge and replaced it with FR

The car is registered as a Seat Leon FR, I think they stopped calling it a cupra on the later models. My old yellow Leon X plate was a Leon Cupra turbo on the papers. I did however look for a cupra badge but couldn't find one for the grill so settled for a FR. The coilovers sound the nuts but quite over my budget unless they are cheaper for a non R. Thanks for the feedback anyways.

Was a really good variety of cars and the most cupras I've ever seen in one place. Would of been cool to have a look around yours and yes I am a member of the facebook group despite not having an R.

What is this Facebook group you speak of

As above #teamcupraR
Closed group. Just ask to join.
Really a group for modding, parts, meets etc.
Good info.
Nice group.
But one shouldn’t go on there asking about door seals and why the carpets are wet. You’ll be banned.

Missing that smaller pipe with the kit I purchased.

Would of been easier to buy this kit but too late for that now. Planning to add in a T pipe to solve this issuse.

 

[Leon20vt4]

You got a link to that kit? And how are you routing your inter cooler piping? You have same the hot side going up and over the passenger side engine bay?

I really wouldn't recommend as it was such a pain to fit and doesn't have anywhere for the N75 to go.

Got my cooler all clamped up today.
Started her up and all seemed good and normal, I let the engine run and warm up before going for a spin up my road.

Noticed lack off throttle response and didn't sound like it was dumping(reciring) correctly, wondering if my ghetto T set up is to blame or something completely different. Any ideas would be appreciated.
