Nice. I quite fancied one of these for a while.

I did the opposite and sold my 56 plate saloon 9-3 aero and bought a cupra r mk1!

It was remapped to 250 bhp, but all the controls were soft and I wanted something more raw, which i got! Smooth quiet and comfortable the leon isn't!

Are you planning mods? They are supposed to be torque monsters with a bit of work.

Its got some already, Hirsch Performance map on it. polybushed engine mounts, lower springs, uprated clutch.

I'm probably going to get Aura Tuning to do it upto approx 300. Need to paint the calipers as well.

Sounds good. Seems like it's ready for some more horses. Exhaust maybe? Release the v6 noises!

Quite a few people reckon the Hirsch Map will be 300ps rather than 275ps. SAAB offered this engine in 250 and 280ps, Hirsch offer 275ps upgrade for 250 engine and 300ps upgrade for 280ps engine but seems that its all the same file. Fingers crossed anyway.
