My Seat Leon Cupra R

[Mr Plums]

So today was my first clean of the Leon.

The process I used was decontaminate, snow foam, two bucket, AG super resin, poor boys black hole, AG hd wax and relax. Tyres dressed in turtle wax tyre shine.

Pretty happy with the results - it needs a once over with the DA but this will do for winter.

Pics;

Gis a shout when you sell it mate.

Will do mate.

Shinies

 

[leeds_182]

'No love, I won't be spending any money on this one. It's just to keep me ticking over winter'.

Oooopps.

 

[imprezaworks]

Set the car off well mate

 

[Feirny]

Yours is nice Jim, Cortes' is gay.

 

[Gally]

Aren't those the same wheels?

 

[Cookie]

It'll cost less than a fiver and half hour of your time to sort,

Bathroom sealant, door card off, all the 10mm bolts off holding the metal door card on then sealant all the way around and re bolt back on. I had swimming pools in my foot wells until I did that.

I preferred my method See-through rubble sacks and butyl tape. Better than new

 

[Bluebeard]

Aren't those the same wheels?

In a different colour I think?

 

[Gally]

The originals look dark! Are they silver? Hmmm!

Cheaper than a refurb I'm guessing especially with tyres!

 

[Mr Plums]

I'm confused about the wheels too.

Or have you got new tyres? I can't make it out on my phone.

Slightly darker in colour.

Cortes has lowz.

They're a very smart looking car.
Not in your face but not bland either like a Mk4 Golf gti.

@smiffyboy

What was it like pace wise against your vxr? What mods did your vxr have?

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Was nothing in it pace wise, even on the private runway at silly speeds. The VXR had 2.5" Pre-Cat and Sports Cat, ran 246 BHP and around 250'ish FB/LB on RS Tuning's RR.

They are, love the style of the Alloy's, really pleasing design. I do find the Anniversary's a really smart car though, the regular GTi look's so subtle and bland you wouldn't think it was a GTi!

 

[leeds_182]

I'm tempted for lowz on mine.

 

[imprezaworks]

Subtle lowz obv. I'm guessing eibach or similar

They do some nice springs and shocks set ups. 40mm would do me nicely.

Yeah I agree Dan. I have always said the same! The MK4 golf has to be one of the most boring looking cars.

Seat looks great Lee! A mate of mine used to have a yellow one, and I've always been a fan.

 

[leeds_182]

New wheels are on.

 

[Mork of Ork]

Looks spot on that, I've always liked those.

 

[leeds2592]

Noice.

 

[_Tom]

I didn't think darker would better. I was wrong. Love it.

 

[Bluebeard]

That's lovely. Like, really lovely.

 

[_Tom]

You've actually got me looking at them again. It's logical. I like the 1.8T motor, I liked my Leon. I don't like my golf diesel.

 

[Lawro]

Looks nice that!

 

[coleman]

My old one, loved the way the it looked, everything else about it was Meh.

 

[leeds_182]

New front brakes and battery today.

Still shopping around for springs.

 

[leeds_182]

My old one, loved the way the it looked, everything else about it was Meh.

If it was my only car I think I'd be a little bored but as a daily beater I think they're quite good.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

I really like it. I'd be wanting it lower too. What's the interior/equipment like?

 

[leeds_182]

Cloth recaros, climate and all that, but nothing fancy.

 

[leeds_182]

Cloth recaros, climate and all that, but nothing fancy.

When I say recaros I mean seat seats with an R written on them....

 

[Mr Plums]

I really like this car, is it the 1.8t 20v or the 2.0t?

What hp are they as standard?

Do they map well etc?

1.8 20vT

225bhp

Yes.

 

[Mr Plums]

1.8 20vT

225bhp

Yes.

Thanks, I am not very clued up on them, I also thought this model had a ko3 and not the ko4.

 

[Chrisgti6]

Thanks, I am not very clued up on them, I also thought this model had a ko3 and not the ko4.

the 150/180 bhp variants had the K03 K03s turbo, the 225 variant has the K04.

(I think)

 

[_Tom]

Yes the 210/225 has a K04. So if it's an "R" and not just a cupra it has the larger turbo.
They map straight to 265ish. A few simple mods and you can push 290 out of them. Above this and you're then looking at a new turbo and rods.
