Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

[jonjay]

Nice mods scotty keep up the good work! I really like the dials...look classy.

Where did you get vents from, I been looking for some for ages!

 

[brad1]

cheers jonjay, the middle vent i got off strugers1, he only had the middle one and didnt want to get the other ones, so i swapped him with my standard ones and gaves him a little bit of money, as for the side ones i cant find none on ebay so i went to seat and i get quite a bit off discount as strugers1 and i and purchased loads of stuff, cupra r kit etc plenty more so for both side vents i got both for £39 something i beleive, since buying quite alot of stuff from dealers i have found them to be not that expensive at all, leon car mats off ebay for example, £35.99 i got mine from seat for £26 so not bad.
ill keep an eye out for the side vents for you on ebay, dont the s3 ones with the silver bit instead of red tempt you at all

 

[jonjay]

Cheers mate. I get a 15% discount at SEAT (I have my connections ) but the centre one and the sides are still quite expensive considering the red bit is the only difference. S3 ones do tempt me but again never find them on ebay and expensive from dealers.

 

[brad1]

cool beans mate, im not sure how much discount i get lol, must be around the same, i will be buying front and rear cupra r bumpers from the delears if nothing come up on ebay

 

[jonjay]

You getting the full works? Rubbing stripts and skirts? Also there is some 17s fr+ wheels up for sale that may save you a few bob.

 

[brad1]

the door strips, i had them colour coded when i have the full cupra kit put on my previous leon so just going to get them colour coded, ill go the scrappy and look for skirts on my days off lol, full cupra r kit, but that will probably be after remap unless it comes up very cheap, jonjay, want to sell me your cupra R alloys?? lol
nice work on your alloys mate

 

[jonjay]

Cheers mate, not letting these go until i get rid of the Leon!

 

[brad1]

found some nice sidelight bulbs to go along with the hids

standard sidelight bulb

new sidelight, the new bulbs are actually much brighter than they look in the pic

still looking for a decent h1 main beam to go along with the hid's, i was thinking about hid'ing the main beam but as people say they take ages to warm up to full brightness so not point doing, but i might try if cash allows lol

 

[SirSuraj]

Nice work matey, liking your car. Dials especially, and the head unit. I got a 03 20VT leon and dont want to change the head unit in fear of spoiling the nice red and black simple interior. But your one looks nice and crisp.

I may be PM'ing you a fair bit Scotty as you seem to know what your doing!

 

[nev]

big improvement on the sidelight bulbs.

Just to let you know there are cupra or cupra R bumpers in the colour of your car on ebay, might be worth the look...they dont look in bad nick, and just need mesh on the front one, and towing cover on the rear i think...

 

[brad1]

cheers for that nev, but ive emailed them already and they are replicas, after genuine ones mate as they dont break if you catch a curb lol

 

[brad1]

fitted my green cotton filter yesterday and first of all i just connected onto maf sensor and left sitting in the bottom part of the air filter box with the top off, today i made my own induction kit sort of thing by using a old bit of intercooler pipe and i removed the whole box to make room for the filter and and i replaced some of the vacuum hoses with blue silicone vacuum hoses, just to spice it up a little more, i added the intercooler pipe to get the filter as close to the edge of the engine bay as possible to get nearer the colder air, let me know what you think, revs feel smoother now which made me feel alot happier, going to replace more of the vacuum hoses tommorow aswell
let me know what you think

what will jabba stage 2 take it upto power wise?

 

[brad1]

my first leon was at 147bhp and 285ft lb on graph from jabba, that was with just green cotton filter, this car before remap will have green cotton filter, decat, pd pipe for the mk4 golf of sfs performance(will allow more air from smic), maybe a allards fmic depending on money, so will be hoping around good torque figures like the other one and around the 155bhp mark, thats what im hoping

 

[nixu]

lol, accelerate pedal is mounted in wrong side

gum-pin must be below

 

[brad1]

already been corrected the day i posted that picture up lol

 

[CHR15B]

Looking good Brad.

 

[brad1]

recieved my big seatcupra.net sticker today, no reason why i cant be spotted now lol

 

[welsh boy]

Nice work Brad, where did you get hold of those mats, I've been after some that fit properly for ages

 

[brad1]

delears mate, they had them in stock, also have had my car remapped by amd now, loving the power increase and its so smooth
