update**21/08/08

custom new air filter fitted and sits nicely in the area where the airbox is on other leon models....just need to go to the shop for the cold air feed now and it will be finished!

 

[Slugger]

Looks like it will turn out really good, especially once the colour coding has been done. Where did you get the alloys to? Where they second hand?

 

[daz_cymru]

yeh they where second hand from ebay a company called wheel works direct i think

and if i can remember right i payed 270 delivered which is good seeing all the tyres are like new and theres no curbing or enething on them

 

[daz_cymru]

isit just me or does it sit abit high?

 

[drinkwell]

the debadged back looks very tidy Daz,does look high but its a 1.6 so not to be dis-respectful its not sports suspension is it? get it slammed

 

[daz_cymru]

ture ....koni strts are on ma to-do list i just gotta get the money first lol

 

[daz_cymru]

Update **24/08/08**

just modified the aerial still works perfectally if you where wondering

 

[daz_cymru]

the plan:

sz bout the crapness of it , its my first time using photoshop lol

 

[Bosher]

yer... get the Koni STR.T kit on it Daz.... mine dropped about 30-35mm, which is ideal...

I really don't see the point where ppl have a motor so slammed multi storey car parks and roads with bumps or sleeping policemen are outta bounds. May as well just use the bus.....

 

[daz_cymru]

yer ino sum people are just stupid .....i just want it low enough so it doesnt look like monster truck lol....im searching for a good price for a painter to finish my colour code for me first i think, then illl get the str.ts and my dads m8 sed he would help me fit em

 

[AdamRoutley]

[daz_cymru]

[AdamRoutley]

[daz_cymru]

ok thanks =]

 

[amccan10]

can you post more details and pics of the air filter.
How were you able to keep the engine cover with the new filter
Where'd you get it from and what was the price?

 

[daz_cymru]

i used:
76mm to 63mm 90 degree elbow reducer, 76mm(d) aluminium induction pipe and a air filter with a 76mm opening

i purchested them all from ebay but any air filter would work aslong as it was 73mm

1. remove the engine cover by pulling it out the rubber gromits. (just giv it a yank at each corner)

2. undo the screws on the back of the engine cover to reveal the air filter, then remove the filter and casing.

3. attach the elbow reducer to the throttle body( the small end of the elbow reducer)

4. attach the other end to the induction pipe then attach the air filter to the end of the pipe.

5. reattach the engine cover and then I tiewrapped the induction pipe to the cover to stop it vibrating.

cost me about 50 pound all togeather

thats where i bought mine from, ill get some pics on tomorrow when its light

any questions just ask mate hope this helps
