RobDon's Leon -

[v-g]

This still keeps getting better and better! Keep it coming Master!

 

[jonjay]

Just thinking Rob, what is your ultimate goal with the car? To make a 400 BHP monster or....?

 

[RobDon]

My ultimate goal has already been achieved - to make a great all-rounder, win trophies and get a mag feature ... 2 trophies and 3 mag features later I've done it!

Now it's just trying to make tweaks here and there. I will upgrade the turbo at some point.

 

[Romeoisgraham]

I stumble across yours and Jabbas Leon in mags and on the net all the time.

Winter hibernation work!

Emerging bleary-eyed from the depths of winter, thought I'd post up some new pics for '08.

Since relocating my battery to the boot, I decided to re-do my turbo inlet and intercooler pipes, they are now far, far neater, mainly thanks to the use of Revotec self-sealing hose connectors, it means you can place them anywhere to suit your setup, so all I needed for my turbo inlet was a 90 degree 76mm alloy elbow and a 45 silicone hose with 3 connectors placed to suit.

I'm also trying out a K&N Apollo CIS induction kit, with the cold-air feed being 'ram-aired' via the fog light aperture, all turned out pretty neat.

I had Forge modify a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R oil separator tank to match the VAG engine, so that's fitted now too. All my vacuum connections are now proper Earls/Goodridge fittings on a machined alloy distribution block now too.

Changed the battery connectors to heavy-duty gold ones, 300 AMP fuse to feed through to the engine bay!

I also got my trackday wheels and tyres sorted out over the winter, Compomotive's new MVS rims and Hankook R-S2 tyres.

I'm definately keeping my Borbet rims for road, shows, meets, etc. as I love the look of them.

Well what can i say, I mean seriously?

 

[Martin M]

Looking good.

What's sitting over the coil packs? Did you make that yourself?

 

[Ruddmeister]

Lovely work as usual Rob

All looking very neat and spotlessly clean

 

[RobDon]

034 Motorsport coil pack heatshield, no I didn't make it, got it from 034 Motorsport in the USA.

 

[WeeJase]

very very nice

 

[amccan10]

looking good, as always. How many wheels have you had now? Compomotive's Mo's were my favourite but those new ones look fantastic too

you got any pics of the oils separator?

What'd you mean by self sealing hose connectors?

You can fit them anywhere you like, makes a custom setup much easier!

May have to invest in one soon. $42 for postage though

 

[Big_Lad]

That is very nice work there Rob, I DO like those new Compomotives too

 

[Icecavern]

Rob what size cable have you run down the car? Bit concerned about the 300A fuse mate.

 

[Clone]

Waw. Thats amazing, truly stunning both inside and out. Pictures like these makes me wish i got a leon so i must read a thread like adlavs or something else lol. Very nice

 

[gb]

yes rob you've dun it again great work and i cant wait to see it at the rr day

 

[RobDon]

Rob what size cable have you run down the car? Bit concerned about the 300A fuse mate.

4AWG wire, everything I read said not to use less than a 300AMP fuse due to the starter motor, which would blow anything less.

 

[Deleted member 13581]

Thats just heaven in a car there.

Spotlessly clean and everything thats in it.

 

[Guinness]

WOW is all I am going to say, top work mate
