DUB BOYS Mk1 Seat leon 1.9tdi

[DUB BOY]

Right guys, i have had the car a few months now, so i thought i would make a build thread and get some inspiration of you guys. Right heres my 1.9tdi mk1 leon.

AMD Stage 1 Remap
Decat exhaust
Full stainless jetex exhaust system
coilovers
18x8.5 inovates (i think)
silicone hoses
painted engine, battery box and airbox
de-wipered rear end
colour coded front bumper
boot install 2 x12" rockford punches with a 800watt rockford punch amp.
Private Plate

Heres a few pics of how she sits at the moment

Previously looked like this

also have this front bumper which is damaged. Im just waiting to get my compressor and then start repairing it and need some side shirts aswell also i am going to colour code the rear rub strips. so if anyone has any skirts for sale let me know.

Plans are as above, plus a few carbon touches like mirror base plates, centre console and then i want to get some bbs ch in the future to really set it off.

All comments welcome thanks

Looks very nice! Is the rocker cover painted too or just the plastic cover?

[DUB BOY]

just the plastic cover mate. Think i need a colour change or something to spice it up a bit. Was thinking of getting a carbon one and wrapping the battery box and then getting an induction kit. but not sure yet, thanks for the positive comments

 

[DUB BOY]

oh and my first car and previous car which i spent 3 years building and then lost interest as it starting costing me alot of money was my mk1

 

[turbo009]

Very nice also!

 

[ToledoNorthEat]

Very nice too Someone nicked my engine cover when I left the bonnet up on my drive for about... 5 minutes!! Where did you get yours from? Gonna have to buy another

EDIT: P.S I see you have the same engine as me... code ASV... where did you get the blue airbox pipe from? I bought one from a guy on here but it didnt fit

 

[DUB BOY]

cheers mate, the cover was on the car, but you can pick them up off ebay aswell. The silicone hose is just a 45degree bend i believe fella. Was thinking of changing them to camo ones but not sure yet. If u can measure the internal diameter i can get you a price

 

[ToledoNorthEat]

Camo? That will look sweet! You should get a Ill go grab a ruler and let you know matey!

 

[ToledoNorthEat]

Inside diameter of 63mm!

 

[DUB BOY]

ok mate ill have a look at work on monday

 

[DUB BOY]

right just a quick question, i went for a drive today came home and my brakes are extremely hot. you put a drop of water on it and it sizzles and evapourates, is this normal? Did brake hard a few times but wouldnt expect it to get that hot.

Should be doing my top mounts today with any luck so no more clonking.

 

[DUB BOY]

need a new tailgate please

 

[ToledoNorthEat]

Uhoh... what happened...

 

[DUB BOY]

i managed to reverse into the front of my house normally have a wooden block to stop it happening but someone had moved it. need a new tailgate, im going to try and get it as good as i can myself and then touch the bumper up. got to get some paint anyway as i want to put my smoothed bumper on.

 

[DUB BOY]

Right i bought a carbon kit from carbon mods, and gave my centre cosole to my dad and off he went and sent it back looking like this, im so pleased with it its changed the look of the interior alot.

 

[gezmeister]

Looks very smart

 

[DUB BOY]

cheers mate, i thought i solved my rubbing/grinding noise from the front drivers side, by changing the top mounts but its back again. maybe a coilovers is knackered?

 

[ToledoNorthEat]

Carbon looks good! hmmm possibly! Does it grind all the time or only with full lock etc?

 

[DUB BOY]

most of the time it grinds, then on full lock it gets worse for example when i pull up on my drive that side is on full lock and bumps up a curb and it clonks really bad.
