Title: New Member From Cumbria
Post by: Kevscupra on July 01, 2013, 11:11:01 am
Hi I'm new to the forum, joined this forum because a few seatcupra.net member mentioned it.

I'm a new owner of a 2.0 tfsi engine, a couple of month ago I bought myself a 2010 Seat Leon Cupra R. Lovely car, nicest car I've owned. Here is a couple of pics.

Previous owner had the car at stage 2, car was put back to standard when sold. My car didn't stay standard power for long last Wednesday I went down to Awesome Gti and had the stage 1 APR software installed, what a difference.

I've joined to look at other people's 2.0 tfsi and asked advice on mods to get my car to stage 2+, I've already made abit of a shopping list.

My next mod will be H&R lowering spring and spacers 10mm on front and 15mm on the rear to get the cars stance looking better.

Yeah I'll be there on the Sunday, for a look round not sure what time though. Is your Gti going to be on a club stand? I just had a look at your RR thread, I like the look of the plates where did you get them from?

Nah won't be on the club stand as its not modded... I'll just be hanging about and camping the night... Just off eBay... Off a user called metalplates and they're great quality...

Yeah I took them to the police... The cop come out wielding all the legal requirements hoping I was some sort of chav and then realised I knew the law and backed down and said they were legal... Take them to the police and get a note if you like...
