Morning,
Been on here for quite a while but never gotten round to doing a build thread. To make things easier images are stored in my album:
www.seatcupra.net
So I bought my 2007 PF Leon Cupra back in May 2019 for a tidy some of £6900 quite expensive but it was immaculate and only 56,000 on the clock with full service history and the last few years serviced by JBS Tuning.
I'm based in the Scunthorpe area if we have any members from this area give me a shout!!!
As there was no other paperwork with the car all I knew was that it had a Neuspeed induction kit and a Forge DV. Once I got home and had a good look underneath realised it had a full Miltek turbo back exhaust with sports cat
.
So over the last couple of years I've added to these mods and a full list is highlighted below including the mods from the previous owner.
I did go back to JBS last September to have a RR and health check and was happy to find it was Stage 2 running 311BHP. The guy at JBS said that it used to run Stage 2+ but due to the clutch slipping at peak torque had it pulled back to stage 2. He also told me that because of this it already had a Loba HPFP fitted. So I'm in the process of saving up for a Sachs Organic clutch, LUK DMF, Wavetrac Diff then once all that is fitted will be going back to Stage 2+ and hoping for 350BHP and 400 Lbs/ft of torque. Ok onto the mods:
