Amjad Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 So after my Mum's old Leon Cupra got written off Clicky, and we got the insurance money the long search for a replacement began! Looked again at MK4 Golf GT TDi, MK5 Golf TDis and Mondeo ST TDCis, but we ended up going for another Leon haha-55 plate rare FR+ TDi model, FSH-Factory fitted LCR kit and 17" LCR Wheels refurbed in (I think) Ford Signal GrayCame with:-6000k HIDs-2.5" turbo back exhaust with LCR style tip (the chatter on lift off sounds awesome hehe)Scevenged these bits off the old one and fitted them:-Alpine USB Head Unit-Stubby aerial-Green Cotton panel air filter-Skoda Fabia rear wiper-Got tints done all round thanks to Ali_legend It's generally a bit fresher looking than the old one, but drive sooo much better! Not sure if the car has a Cupra R suspension too but it does corner so much flatter than the old Cupra! Did about 630miles in it last week and loved every minute, it's lovely to drive and did 570 to a tank of mixed driving Some pics after a quick detailing sessionAnd the tints..I will try to get some more pics soon. Went for legal up front and 50% in the rearFuture plans:-Uprated clutch-Perhaps strut braces-312mm TT front brake conversion-Remap-Private plateGetting Uniroyal Rainsport 2 tyres fitted all round within the next week and need to get the S3 front lower brace I bought ages ago finally fitted, no idea how to fit rivnuts to the chassis lolWhat do you guys think?Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It drives well but I would like to stiffen it up a bit for more fun! Can't lower it anymore as it already scrapes the lip a bit around town Fitted LED Fog spotlights, ordered some LED Festoon bulbs for the puddle/numberplate lights and some Aero wipers. Will get pics up when they're arrived and fitted Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thought I'd throw up some pics as it's been clean recently. Nothing to update bar the aero wipers can be seen lol Also fitted a new Sony X-Plod USB headunit, a lot better than the older Alpine one Being used to Starlets I forget how comfortable this thing is to drive! Eyeing up prices for clutch upgrade and 312mm TT brakes Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hahah mine drives so much sweeter with the new clutch.! Get it done ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 In good time, Sachs ones cost a bomb lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 im considering one of these, whats the mpg like? cost to fill the tank? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think it's between £70-80 to fill the tank, MPG is a bit worse this time of year because of the cold I managed 45mpg going to Reading and back the other day with some town driving. Last summer I was easily getting between 50-55mpg on motorway runs with a bit of town driving!I think in the summer we got like 725 miles off a full tank, I really wanna get an eco remap done though to extract a bit more oomph and more mpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
