RDS' Leon Cupra R

Go anthracite buddy

Cheers James,

The lower part of the air feed has been there for about a month now with no bother, I've finally got around to finishing it off. To be honest I took the idea from your air feed, it runs exactly where the OEM SMIC pipe ran.

In regard to the wheels I really want to go High Power Silver but I'm still not sure if I should go darker as the grills (as you mentioned) are black, I need some help! Anthracite has been done and I dont fancy black

High Power Silver would work. It keeps with the main pallet of colours used on your car (red, black and silver). The main reason with me choosing to stick with silver was because when clean and in the sun, they look dandy! Always a difficult decision to make but as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

I've always been dead set on high power silver but now the time is coming, I'm not to sure. I need to make sure I'm happy with what i get.

Today I've been to Motoscope today with R32OC to get the car back on the rollers

Few pics from today:

Rich's turbo charged R32 was back:

Few pics of mine queing:

When it made it on:

And the result:

296bhp 319.6lb/ft

I know alot of people are going to say its happy rollers and I'm not for any second saying my car is running those exact figures but giving the previous result I had on the PD Tuning rollers I'm very happy

 

[sambryant]

Sweet result m8 , what have you changed since going on the pd rollers.

 

[RDS]

Just tightened everything up to make sure there isnt any boost leaks and advanced the timing from 6 to 8 with the SPS, everything else has been handling mods. I increased boost from 8 to 9 aswell. Obviously I used vag com to run logs. The car is running awesome (I've not just decided this due to the figures, I said the same in post 484), definately better then when it went on the PD Tuning rollers, it doesnt half shift

 

[t0m]

Brilliant stuff mate!

The car has really come along well lately and it's good to see your enjoying it!!

Looks a good day out there with some tasty cars present. That R32 looks a bit mental! 495bhp... which turbo is that running?

 

[RDS]

Chers t0m,

have a read of this for details on the R32

Its all about the enjoyment think I'm goin get the wheels done and might do a few minor cosmetic things, then kick back and enjoy the car for a while. May go for the Superpro bush kit next year.

Whether it's in the ball park region or as accurate as it can be, it's always about they way it drives on the road, IMO. It sounds like it's feeling very complete Richard! Badger 5's TIP I'm sure is making a healthly contribution; I've not seen a bad word said about that product! 290 to 310 bhp on a KO4 with reliability used to consistently unachievable... Good times...

Must be a nice reassuring pat on the back after your last RR experience.

Now, the colour of those wheels...

Congrats buddy

 

[RDS]

Cheers James, its just good to know all is good now after the last result.

Its all about the wheel colour now

 

[Segger]

Lookin good mate

 

[RDS]

Thanks mate.

Wow, that's an awesome R32! Always liked them and have considered the MK5 as a replacement for the LCR, but it's a move I won't be making now due to finances..

I'll hopefully get my Superpro bushing done soon. I'll put up a review of it and how the car feels after! Should be good though!

Good man, get your arbs sorted aswell

There were 3 turbo'd R32 today Rich's made the best power, the other two made 431 and 417bhp. Another lads getting his done in a few weeks. To be honest mate I wouldnt get one the Mk5 looks like a GTI and the Edition 30 GTI is easier to tune. Its cost the lad who is getting his Mk4 done in the next few weeks £14,000 for the kit. They do sound great but I made more power and torque then all the naturally aspirated ones Mk4's and 5's. I dont think you'll be happy with it after your LCR (which is a minter). I thought mine was going to sound awful on the rollers with its piddly little 1.8 after some of the R32 had been on, but to be honest it sounded great and I even got a few comments off the R32 lads about how good it sounded. Its all about forced induction mate, Tsssshhhhhh

Oh I will do buddy, they are not far off! Lots will be getting done over the coming months!!

Very well put mate! I do love the Tssshhhhhhhhhhhhh haha

Yours has a blueflame exhaust doesn't it, so I'm sure it defo sounded good on the rollers. They sound nice mate.

£14,000 is insane... I'd rather do what Damo on here has done and get the ED30 like you say. They make great power and it's a top car out of the box.

I love the sound of the V6 though.

LCR's, R32's... both great cars!

 

[RDS]

Blueflame turbo back with a race cat I do like the ED30, dont think you would go far wrong with any car with that engine in it, I'm not keen on the looks of the Mk2 Leon though. I did mention today I loved the sound of the V6, then a lad offered me his R32 for sale. They are great, just isnt the right step for me from the LCR, more sideways then upwards just my opinion though.

Blueflame yum yum..

Yeah, I considered the MK2 ages ago, but the look just doesn't do it for me! Powerful car though!!

Was he offering it straight for sale or a poss swap?

Tend to agree mate, it's not really a step up worth taking when you think how big a commitment it is..

 

[RDS]

for sale its up for £8,500, made around 255bhp today.
