I may give this a go at some point... Does your cam record speed lol

My Blackvue one doesn’t. That’s why I went for it. Look at the bottom l/h corner if the pic.

What are these side air bags you talk about lol

I'm sure I had them at some point. Lol. Yeah it has GPS built in. So it adjusts time / date automatically. Can record location for Google maps and mph. But all can be turned off in settings.

Speaking of mph. Im really strict on my speed in 30s. Driving home today I had a brown (yes brown) focus right in my boot. Like sitting in my back seat trying to push me faster. Anyways, we passed a marked squad car. Who subsequently pulled the twat over for a chat. I was really pleased. But annoyed I didn't have the optional rear camera. Lol.

Brown... What we're they thinking lol

If people tail gate me I just go slower, I only really open the taps on dual and motorways... But I woukdnt want to be recording my speed none the less so winner that you can turn it off haha

how do you actually stick the mount in without the sticky pad showing? Beats me

Hmm. I was tempted to get a sunstrip, that would cover it. I wanted a revo one. But worried it would make the car stand out more to vandals.

Not quite today but this Thursday we're going to Simon's Custom Exhausts for guess what... A custom exhaust!
The leon is a CR170 Supercopa. So I'm thinking 3" straight pipe with 4" tips! And come next year I'll be getting dpf deleted as well.
Should I worry about drone noise too much or not?

Great guide! I wish I could do the oil change but my drive is a mild slope so I only have a small garage to do any car work... I could take over the parents drive but I'm sure they might not like it for a first attempt.

Hmm, depends how "mild" it is. LOL. Cause you could also turn the car around. I always chock the rear wheels as well.

If you put the car at the top of the drive (just 3 cars long) and let the handbrake go you would happily end up at the back of the garage through the door and half way through the wall lol it's a little steep. I can park on the road but I don't trust anyone to drive past and not kill me...

Im in a dilema here

Ive removed the rear airbags and fitted the kw v1s on the rear

Im selling the car so i dont know if its best to refit the rear airbags and sell the car with the air ride or remove the air ride and fit the kws

If anyone is interested in buying the kws for what they owe me i think It be easier for me to do it that way

Would come with new top mounts and shortened drop links

My guess is it depends on how much interest you get in the car with Air Ride vs KW's

It would seem better to sell the car with the air ride and sell KW's on there own as i suspect you will get more interest in KW's than Air Ride system. But I suspect you need to see how much interest you get in the car with air ride fitted - They look great but I suspect a much smaller set of people want a car with them fitted vs the KW's

Thats what i thought as the majority would prefer a good set of coilovers as it's hassle free driving and it still would look a great car at a static height.

Only a few members on here mentioned they was interested in kw for their leons so if they was to want them it'd save me removing the fronts and all the wiring for the air management lol

Be nice to have a few more modders on the MK3 Section, far to many PCP owners who can only do small things to the car.
They will all transfer to the MK4 and Cupra models so I am guessing there will be some good deals to be had on high spec mk3's

No wind deflectors they make to much noise so you cant hear the exhaust that you will modify.

Then there is the 4wd convertion to consider (yes I am joking but they are already out there).

And make sure your VCDS has the latest cable or get an OBD11 so you can mod the car more.

Was thinking that but would be cheaper to buy a golf r lol

The R is a sound car but personally I prefer the Cupra as its a car you have to drive rather than the R which is more point and go, no hanging on and preying :) that you are going to make it.

Oddly a guy came on last week saying his 4wd Cupra ST is not as fast as his old 290 ST, the 4 wheel drive on the VAG Cars does take a bit of the enjoyment out of hitting it hard.

Anyway lots of lease cars (both golf and cupra) going back on the maket so I expect prices will reflect the fact that both VW and SEAT have been pricing these cars to sell and in turn then flooding the second hand market, added to which you have the MK4 out in 2019.
