Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
is the walk kit worth it? keep seeing people say it is, but i cant imagine those little pieces making a great deal of difference, as they look pretty much the same as the standard ones 
ps if your ever around the natwich/cheshire area youll have to let me know im not too far from there (stoke) so would be good to meet someone off this site.

Going on Thursday to pick up a Leon Cupra interior (2 front Bucket Seats and Rear Bench Seats) i prefer the Cupra front seats so ive always wanted them, Been offered them at a very cheap price so i couldn't say no (The reat seats will go in loft with my FR ones) The guy is also taking of his Cupra Brakes to replace them with some bigger brakes so im hoping i will return on thursday with them aswell!
Next Wednesday car is going back to JBS to have a new updated DPF Delete flashed (DPF Delete version of Seat's latest map for PD170)
Next Thursday car is going to AwesomeGTI for its 40K Service
Expensive month

yea getting costly mate, but still worth it , you coming the rolling road day on the 17th sept see what the new map can do ?
So i picked the Seat's up from a company who had two race cars, Both Leon Cupra's and both of them had been written off for road cars but perfect for the Race track, The seats have come out of a car with 28k on them so there not that old!
Old FR Seat's
Side by Side
Drivers's side in
Cupra Rear's in before i removed them again
The overall finished
Cupra Seats are very slightly more bucketed that the FR ones but the Seat's look more impressive, The company are currently stripping car two ready for the Roll cage to be fitted so i will be collecting the Cupra brakes sometime in next few weeks! Got a SEAT leather armrest coming aswell thanks to a good friend of mine.

Seats look great would be good if you could get ths fr550 covers with the fr logo on. seat covers would be a straight swap
Update
Car went back to JBS yesterday they flashed an updated map for me, I cant decide if they have flashed the MILD version or not, Car doesn't wheel spin in 1st or 2nd as much now but feels just as powerful in other gears. Il contact JBS and see what they say.
Car had its 40k Service and Full Geometry set up @ AwesomeGTI today, car's steering wheel is now straight again and feels more stable. Bad news is my Tandem fuel pump is knackered resulting in oil in my fuel pump, this explains why my car is using alot of oil and also might explain the emmisions being high! Ive reported it as a warranty issue (Warranty runs out on sunday) because i reported it today they take today as the case date so they cant refuse to do it now even if its done after warranty runs out, Apparenty its a common VAG problem so fingers crossed. if not im look at like £250 repair bill.
Ive also received my Armrest :biggrin:
So whats next?? well need to get this problem fixed now and then decide if i want to keep this car or move on, still liking either the Leon Cupra/Cupra R option or Exeo Sport 2.0TSI 211ps

Had mine flashed a month ago! Seems to be good on 1st gear and pulling all through the gears! However I have noticed that the revs are slightly higher in 5th 6th gear maybe to compensate with the hiccup!
