Ravi's MK1 Leon- on the road to stance Airlift V2 lowss

[RaviR50]

Looking good Ravi, just got a black LC myself. Love the wrap idea, changing it keeps it new and fresh!

thanks dude! yeah wrap is great stuff you can wrap pretty much anything too


On another note i should be getting the old MAMs back from being fully mirror polished tomorrow then will be putting the old 205/45 on the 9Js and if i can get hold of some 205/40 on the front 8Js.

Gotta loooovveeee that stretch

 

[RaviR50]

not been on for a little while, anyway got the wheels back

should be on the car on saturday then ill be taking out the rear adjusters and getting the front back down too ive got a lower profile on the fronts too 205/40/17 rather than a 47 profile so thats gonna make it even lower

 

[RaviR50]

soo yeah

one of the spacers was broken when i took the old set off so i need to get a new 10mm then im think a 15/20mm on the rear. front sit flush with the 10mm rears will poke nicely with the 15/20

next up before players is to get the adjusters out wind the fronts down a bit and if i can get some i want some camber shims for the rear

 

[RaviR50]

had a bit of time recently, i finally got the side skirts on been sat around for about 3 months and i fitted some 15mm spacers to the rear, i took out the rear adjusters too

Then when i went to get the car lower for players classic the coilovers were seized, with only a couple of hours left i was in the nearby airport car park till 3 in the morn before Players beating the shite out of them to free them up. Eventually i did an then dropped it 50mm more to get rid of the front arch gap i got from lowering the front tyre profile

Here it is at Players after all the hard work

i bought the wrong tickets at first so it wasnt in the show just in the field next door I eventually ended up using my mates show ticket to bring it into show on the sly

my missus got a pic of me walking away from the car yesterday when we went out to get some ice cream haha

and then a couple of randoms from later on the same day

Thanks for reading guys

cheers buddy the old wheels were a PITA to keep clean worse than these surprisingly so it made me want to get rid of them even more, they also showed how tiny the brakes are, these cover it up a lot.

i got my indicators of ebay i cant say exactly what ones they were though think i just searched mk1 leon smoked indicator

cheers dude i must admit i love the cupra kit compared to the R kit even, this one just looks soo much more angry IMO

 

[RaviR50]

so after being static for a while now ive realised the height i want to be at just isn't achievable for the roads near me and on the way to work, so im currently trying to liaise with Studio In Car for them to give me some height adjustable button operated suspension

What kind of sorcery is this?!

You goin full air ride or just front end Static+?

 

[RaviR50]

did think static+ but for a few hundred more may as well go full air. will be airlift autopilot v2 with digital controller ect. just think i can get more adjustment from full air rather than static+

 

[RaviR50]

Booked in for a consultation down at the Studio In car headquarters on Saturday

 

[RaviR50]

Well thats it im totally sold booked in to have studio in car fit Airlift autopilot V2 with dual compressors and upgraded threaded body shocks along with a nice new 10" JL audio sub

 

[RaviR50]

Right I got the car back last thursday and i cant be happier! The guys at studio in car have done an awesome job, exactly what i wanted! the build is superior quality and the workmanship follows the same quality. Really cant rate the job high enough!

they recommended the sub and that I must say is amazing! The power that comes out this little 10" is unbelievable! Much better than my old 15"

on the hunt for some bigger wheels now and some IDF drop plate to recenter the rear wheel and add camber but thats gonna have to wait for a bit ive got the install and a holiday to pay off

 

[JordanMk3]

Yeeeeeaah boyyy!! That looks mint mate! Played!

 

[Applemobile]

That's looking awesome. Bit more poke and some camber on the rear, and that will be a winner. What wheels are you looking at?

thanks for the kind words fellas im really starting to love it again.

Yeah i'll get some of those drop plates, should add about 5mm more poke and -2deg camber so would be running total about -3.5deg camber

wheels wise I want the 19" BMW X5 wheels, not tigerclaws the style 132s figure they would give a bit of tuck on full drop. also want to go for a bit of USDM so smoothed plate recess and DRL indicator things like the US spec bora bumpers

pic isnt great as it doesnt really show the wheels as 19"

 

[dgjdrummer]

That looks ace on air!

That Photoshop looks really nice too, can't wait to see you get them beemer wheels on.

gotta find some mate! these ones seem pretty difficult to get hold of compared to the tigerclaws, and i need to save a bit of money for a while

 

[Applemobile]

My suggestion was going to be tiger claws BMW wheels is going to be a good choice but only if you are low. Only people on air need apply
