Not a mk5 golf but a seat leon mk2 pd170 btcc
« on: November 01, 2013, 09:08:26 pm »
Hi Guy's

Been a member on seatcupra.net for over a year and started to look on here as the golf and leon are essentially the same car.

Bit of a background on my car and bike history, I am a bit of a ford nut and owned a few including a few mk3 fiestas, 1 being a 220bhp rs turbo, mk4 escort rs turbo running 180 bhp,  mk1 focus st 170, mk2 focus st 2 running 300 bhp a few others but nothing exciting, I have also owned a zx6r 636 and a cbr 600rr, haven't had a bike for a few years as i think its too dangerous to ride on the roads now, i had someone knock me off my zx6r through not looking.

Now onto the leon, I have owned it since Jan this year.

When i first got it after its 1st proper wash, the previous owner used to park it under a willow tree so it was covered in sap.



Fitted a linea r grill and sprayed the chrome surround black



Put some carbon door sills on



Fitted some drls in my side vents



Night view of my drls



Headlights on and drls dim to 50%



Replaced the stupid grey centre caps with black gel overlays




Carried out a darkside development egr delete



New battery box fitted



Painted my "s" badge white

 

Went to shark for a dpf delete remap and eibach sportlines



My stage 1 map



My stage 2 map





50/50 after the journey back from shark



Went down to amd for a seatcupra.net rr day

My print out







Rear "s" badge wrapped



Bro in law is a window tinter so got the rears tinted



Wrapped the door handles with carbon wrap



Shark performance sticker



Sprayed my "leon" lettering black



Trying out my snow foam





Fly eye kit on the rear lights



New sticker



Armrest fitted



Bought a full mk 5 r32 brake setup, currently being sprayed white



Discs painted with hammerite



Bought an auto tech rear arb from little_dave

Nice meeting you today Paul  :drinking:

Lovely looking Leon you have with some really nice touches  :happy2:

Looking forward to seeing your progress as you add the extras we spoke about

Good luck on the slippery slope lol

Hope the M25 wasn't too bad on the way back, I saw the queue as I drove past you on the A13  :sick:

Nice meeting you today aswel mate, always great to talk to someone with similar interests  :drinking:


The m25 was ok considering it was shut at enfield, it was more busy on the m11 but just normal friday night traffic

Going to fit the arb when i put my r32 set up hopefully in a few weeks, will let you know how it goes  :driver:

Could chat about our cars all day long  :signLOL:

R32 brakes will look great colour coded to the car  :drool:

Feel free to drop me a PM sometime and hopefully I can be of some help with your plans
