AndrewJB's Mk2 Leon FR 2.0 16V TDI "Der Rote Baron"

[AndrewJB]

Hopefully soon (March or April) will come the De-DPF @ 230-240bhp and 350lb.ft

After that im now looking at getting some Big Yellow Porsche Front Brakes like this:

AwesomeGTI do the Kit but where talking £1700 Odd

The will most likely just focus on Anti Roll Kit and uprated engine mounts

I'd get on to "car transplant's" for some callipers then get a refurb kit bud, be loads cheaper i would have thought?!

 

[NickLCR]

Doubt car transplants would sell massive Porsche brakes!

 

[cap r 225]

There's bound to be some silly old toff who'll didtch her Cayenna/Rangerover sport at some point, just make sure you get first dib's

 

[AndrewJB]

Transplants are expensive il keep a look out , i really want some that will straight swap for me 312's at moment as i dont really need the stopping power of 352mm discs to go with the calipers

 

[alx_chung]

Why don't you put Cupra brakes (345mm brakes) onto your car? Straight swap over and Awesome do the full kit or Dave at Sere would sell you them?

I want either Brembo or Porsche Branded ones , i was really dissapointed with the Standard Cupra brakes on MK2 LC , they worked perfectly but calipers look naff

Reason i want Yellow Porsche ones are i think they will look better behind black wheels on a red car , Think Red calipers wont stand out

Just personal preference really

That is fair doos. Remember I have 10 pot Tarox 345mm front brakes because I wanted them and the look cool!!

[AndrewJB]

[alx_chung]

Its the same price as your Porsche ones.....

[AndrewJB]

Had a productive day well afternoon (Woke up at 11:30am)

Gave the car a wash, Debadged the "LEON" Badge and then clayed the car fully ,My god it was Contaminated

Then i broke out the Kestrel DAS-6 with Poor Boys Black Hole

Doesnt look that much different in pictures but the paint is alot smoother and alot deeper red now :ThumbsUp:

Good effort, I see your name down for the DPF delete too

it was a quick half a55'd effort really just a quick tidy up before me main session before Ultimate Dubs

And oh yes the group buy has come a little early really was hopeing for May-June-July but long term it needs to be done so might aswell

Spoke to Volkswagen Racing as they have got a 2.0TDI Van pushing 300bhp , so i asked what they could do to mine to get it upto 300 and they said easy peasy a set of very expensive injectors i think not

After DPF Removal it will be pushing 220-240 which is plenty for the summer
