Title: leon K1 Stage 2+ project
Post by: Rossco_cupra on March 30, 2011, 04:59:36 pm
Just joined on here and thought i would share my car and the progress i have made with it so far.

I Bought the car about a year and a half ago and it was like this..

It was rrd at 257bhp standard.

I then bought a set of bbs ch 18x8, eibach sportline springs, some stickers(lol) and remapped it to RR'd at 310bhp...

Took the stickers off and got some neater plates just to tidy it up.

Took it to Crail and ran a 13.8 with some yokohama parada spec 2 tyres...got some vids i will post later.

Then i decided i was going to put it off the road for some work over the winter, felt as if it could do with a new clutch so here is what i have bought so far... ( Hoping to be back on the road beginning of June)

Sachs Organic Race Clutch
Sachs Lightened Single Mass Flywheel
ITG Maxogen Induction Kit
Blueflame Turbo Back Exhaust
Forge Front mount Twintercooler
Autotech HPFP
Rev D dv
Cam Follower
RS4 valve
Jacking point covers

Some pics ....

Still in the process of purchasing:

Quaife LSD
Forge short shift front and back
Forge short shift left to right
Whiteline Anti lift Kit
Poly Bushes
whiteline ARB's
New Engine mount
Getting these parts from the company that are fitting everything.

Also sold my bbs to my big brother and i am looking at buying wheels just now. So undecided on what to go for but reckon it will be some sort of 19s as the 18 looked a tad small.

Think thats about it for just now, Will keep this updated when i am buying new stuff and getting it all fitted, Should be getting wheels and tyres by the end of the week if i can make a decision lol


Thanks, Ross.
