need modding inspiration

[777cupra]

I'm a little bored at mo and need ideas and inspirations for some UNIQUE, low cost mods that i can do to my 2001 leon cupra. Anyone got any ideas that they have thought of doing but maybe not had the time to see if they would work or anything? I feel in the mood for experimenting

See if you can get the "Fan style" spray jets working .. instead of the single stream jobbies on the Leon.

 

[777cupra]

yeah i had been thinkin that...for front and back...any ideas of a doner car?

 

[dmmsta]

Mk4 Golf (W Reg for Def!)
2000 Passat for def.

Or at least those cars have that style washer jets.

Haven't had chance to really look into detail on these tho, so not sure how the nozzles are fixed in place.

Ibiza's have the fan jets aswell. At least my 2003 Ibiza S does, assuming its the same fan 'type' your talking about.

Interesting Mr Bond...might have to have a look at those next time I'm near a Beeza...they may well be direct replaceable (<--- is that a word?)

Any chance you could post a pic or 2 of what they look like in-situ on your car please...

 

[MK8]

...a direct replaceMENT or directly replaceable? lol. U as tired as i am?

Yeah ill take a few pictures for you, but its too early for me to go outside atm! Need to go to sleep! ill try get some on before 11am. But there square, and have a flat nozzle iirc, and slot in and out of place. Ill let you know!

Post up a couple of pictures of your car and I'm sure somebody will have some inspiration as to what you could do to it

just one question...how do i post pictures? is there instrutions somewhere? my mechanical skills are much better than my computer skills ha ha.

didn't someone look at the golf/passat washer jets before and figured out the wouldn't fit? Ibiza ones sound promising though

2. Click the browse button on photobucket, locate your photos you want on your computer and click the upload button

3. Each photo will be displayed in photobucket like this -

Click in the IMG code box on the photo you want to select it and then right click and press copy.

4. Start a post on SCN then right click and press paste to drop the code you copied from photobucket into your post.

5. Write some text - you must have a minimum of 2 characters of plain text in a post before submitting

6. Click submit - your image will appear in your post linked in from photobucket - this means the photo is stored on photobucket not SCN saving space on SCN's site.

good guide leigh, you should do that as a separate thread in the beginners section and get the mods to make it a sticky or something.

 

[Leigh15]

Beginner's section??

 

[skahigh]

sorry, meant the newbie/welcoming section thing, as its where most people would go first of all.

 

[777cupra]

ah thats good, thank you leigh for your help...ill get aound to getting some pics sorted soon

 

[stpete]

how about getting A3 style rear jets to work on leon (wash follows wiper round instead of shooting straight up)?

does that not just coat the back of your car with screen wash? or am I being silly?

X20HER, did you get a chance to take any pictures of your washer jets yet?

I don't think the fitting of the pipes under teh scuttle pannel will be a problem, just the size issue at the top so they fit the whole. If you have time ccoule you measure them instead of taking pics? my leon ones are sort of rectangular...its p*ssing down with rain at mo so can't get teh tape measeure out ! lol
