Title: Hi everyone!
Post by: Akz on August 06, 2012, 10:43:05 pm
Hi folks, joined up here when I got my mk2 leon cupra a few months back. but this is me just posting my first post!

I'm in ayrshire, scotland. Since I got the leon I've decided to keep it subtle looks wise but I've added a Forge twintercooler, Itg, and full turbo back exhaust with a stage 2 map :smiley:

I'll probably get the fuel pump and clucth done then go stage 2+ but I need to get a few clunking noises sorted first lol

Thanks Allan

Couple of sh*te pics of the cupra not long after I got it, need to cleaer daytime 1's to show the paint colour.

The colour looks black in the pictures but its actually more like a pearlescent purple! I love it, haven't seen another 1 like it!

Welcome on board Allan, nice collection of cars buddy. Not hanging around with the mods are you. :signLOL:

Would recommend a small tap with the lowering stick (fill those arches a little) and a BBK to cope with all those new ponies!

Thanks mate, thats just the 1s worth putting up lol. Definately not, thats 1 thing I didn't like about my mps - there was nowhere in Scotland who could tune it at the time. The leon has more tuning potential.

The plan is to get springs soon but theres a few wee knocks and squeeks that need sorted first. Whats the BBK? (sorry if thats an obvious one lol)

^^^^ sorry bud, I should have put Big Brake Kit (BBK). Check out this thread on here, it's a BIG thread now as its a couple of years old and always being added too but really worth a read through. Will give you something to add to the mod list!

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,13985.0.html

Then after you've read that lot, you can buy one. There one for sale in the For Sale section on the Forum. Love helping peeps spend Their money.

Welcome along! 

Im not too keen on that purple personally, like you say it looks black but purple in the flesh.  My friend has one.  Does look great when polished just not a colour id chose.

You need this BBK  :evilgrin:
