what have you done to your car today ?

[Zardoz]

I got a saxo vrs race car st the moment but I saw a vag race going on on the same week end. I have always liked the leon 1m. I was looking at one and asked the bloke about it. His reply was " you could never build a car to beat his. And I might as well just go and play in my saxo..."
I just smiled and walked away. But having a look at lap times. Bearing in mind it was a damp meeting . My little saxo was only 2.3 seconds slower on our fastest laps lol. So this is the reason to build this leon and wipe the smile off the blokes face

What a smug bar steward! Get busy and please film the thrashing

Please come buy this 4x4 leon shell that's sitting her in Germany... take it back and **** him up with 50-50 4wd split on the Haldex. He will never be able to keep up. I beg you I want to see someone build it

How much is it.coukd do a week end trip to pick it up

The guys asking price is 900 quid.

I reckon you could get him to 600. When nobody buys it in 2 months I will pick it up and store it till I can build it.

Proper racing door to door

Then itll also come down to who has bigger balls

 

[Manic172]

Don't worry about balls. I used to do banger racing....

I swapped out the thin horrid steering wheel in my 2013 fr and fitted a lovely chunky 2018 fr wheel. Massive difference and 10-15 mins work!

Sealed up my exhaust system and finally manned up and added my stage 1 map with pops and bangs. Just needs some fine tuning on the boost curve and bang aggression. Other than that its pulling well and had a couple nice single bangs and some throaty gargles. 1.8t auq mk1.

That bloke sounds like a right bell end. Saxo vrs with a bit of investment would be a track missile. Power to weight done right you would kill the cupra r on track.

I still struggle even after I've removed the battery clamp. Either they are surprisingly heavy or I'm shockingly weak.

Just pop a little wollen fleece over it, im sure you'll find the strength then

Yeh will get seat caps. Not sure what I'm going to do with the mirrors, as it needs a new bonnet I was thinking possibly black bonnet and mirrors, or going all yellow again.

Either way I think the mirrors will be replaced as I dont think they fold, not sure if it's the mirrors or if that have fitted a different switch, something to investigate. Car has been off the road for 2 years before I got it so working through bushes, brakes, suspension.....first so it's all safe
