    Few performance parts for Mk4 Leon Cupra 290 GPF (May fit others)

    Hi all, sadly my Cupra has gone back to the lease company and been replaced with a 3 series oil burner! I've decided to sell the bits I had fitted to mine for somebody else's enjoyment, and thought I'd try here before the dreaded 'bay. The parts have only been fitted for 2 years, and have...

    Post Pic's of Your Mk3 Leon In Here

    I’ve tried both to be fair, the old HD wax was very good, pretty easy to apply and buff off for a hard wax, the new Ultra HD wax is even better, it goes further as it’s a softer compound, sort of half way between a hard wax and a firm paste and it’s roughly the same to buff off. The depth is...

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    I did, had them fitted for around a week now and I think to be fair the difference is only noticeable under hard acceleration where the engine seems a little more eager due to the freer flow of air. I’ve heard a few occasional turbo noises that weren’t there before, but as it’s still the...

    Spent 3 hours yesterday washing and waxing the car - only for it to p*** down ever since, on the up side, just noticed this :drool:

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    I’ll give it a try tomorrow! I have to admit I really don’t mind the soundaktor as much as most on here, if anything I quite like it...but I guess if it tightens everything up without drowning out the pops that could be fun

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    I haven’t actually tried sport mode yet - I have only used Comfort and Cupra - I thought Sport and Individual were somewhat redundant to me - as myself in particular I tend to go all or nothing, if I’m driving around town it’s in comfort and if I want to get moving or have a spirited drive on a...

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    I couldn’t be happier with it to be honest! It’s exactly how I wanted it to be - quiet and comfortable and only loud under heavy throttle! There’s no noticeable increase in drone at motorway speeds either which is a bonus...not sure if this is cancelled out by the 7th gear or the GPF? After some...

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    Hi mate, one of the guys at my work did it for me on our lift. I’m not sure who around here would do it to be fair - but my first point of call would be ‘Tints n Tweeks’ in Ashington, they should be able to help you. They are custom exhaust builders and I’ve had stuff done by them in the past...

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    Little update - I’ve fitted the Pipercross panel filter and the Ramair intake hose & turbo inlet. Very little if any noticeable added sound as expected but car feels slightly easier at the bottom end as the turbo seems to be spooling sooner. I’ve also fitted the res delete! I can confirm the V3...

    Thanks mate, I will try the seats down too - hopefully the videos will come out okay as my GoPro is broken so they’ll be iPhone videos :headhurt:

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    Well my car was delivered yesterday and I love it already - I for one love the sound although it is very muted. In 2nd gear at low speeds and light throttle I can hear the exhaust burble on the overrun and it even seemed to attempt a few cracks but it’s very muffled. I think the noise is still...

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    I agree - the difference seems too great to be res delete alone. I will try and get some videos before and after for comparison and then again after 1000 miles or so to try and get a feel for the difference between brand new, res delete and res delete once run in.

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    Yeah I had read that the exhaust itself requires some ‘bedding in’ as it changes in tone as it soots up. It seems like a night and day difference to the other 290s I’ve seen on here and on YouTube so I’m thinking it has more than a res delete... I saw your initial video and thought it still...

    I thought that at first, although to be fair a lot of the non-UK cars seem to still have silver badges fitted as standard? Plus it seems to have the latest digital cockpit?

    The 2019 Leon Copra 290 thread

    Has anybody else seen this recently added video on YouTube? Shows a 2019 290 driving through a tunnel, in the comments the chap claims it has a res delete, surely that’s not all it has for it to be so aggressive compared to the very quiet standard cars with GPF? Sounds fantastic!
