Hiii welcome to the forum - what colour did you go for? Full fat with Cup packs or 182 Cup?

Id do a search, theres loads of advice in old topics - just make sure youve got all the bits youre meant to have with it like tyre foam/luggage net/splitter fitted.

Do give it soem stick from brand new from warm so you get the most hp, mpg and no oil burn.

Personally take the front splitter off so it isnt damaged.

When it rattles turn the stero up.

Book yourself on the Renault sport track days/ other track/airfiedl days to learn the handling of the car in safety.

Dont rag it form cold (obvious).

Was your Leon R standard? Realy nice cars then how come you changed if you dont mind me asking?

Most important modification is coilovers might as well order them now.

A couple of questions edde re. your post please.

Could you explain why giving the car a bit of welly when new and warmed up helps bhp, mpg and no oil burn. Im a noob to all this and aint got a clue. Cheers.

Also why do you suggest taking off the front splitter? Other than ot to damage it do you say this for any other reason?

Cheers

Cheers for the advice!! it is racing blue with both packs and all appears to be in place. Not sure about ragging it during the run-in period????

I still have the Cupra R and it is not standard. The 182 is the misses run around!
