It’s mainly leaving corners and on the bumpy country roads when you notice it most. The slightest bump in the road would send the wheels spinning in 3rd, it holds on much better now.
Autotechnica in hull have done a few 4wd conversions on the mk2. Probably not cheap but neither is a diff :(
Get yours 4wd converted you can get miles more power down then ;)
I’d get mine done but it’s a right ball ache on the mk1

Torque is 380 from memory but for the road i wouldn’t want much more, despite having the diff and about the stickiest road legal tyres you can buy it’s still not possible to put foot down in second without spinning up the tyres [emoji23]

Cheers yeah it was a tad traumatic but it’s been worth it, thankfully it’s behaved itself since.
Think I might try and break the 400 barrier this year just to say I’ve done it
Gutted to see you never finished this, what a project!
I've certainly nearly thrown the towel in on mine a few times and you've taken on a monster in comparison. Other things just take priority sometimes.
I hope you change your mind but if not, there will always be other opportunities in the...
I've had the dreaded
wet carpets :(
It had water sat on the sills for a while but now it's actually getting in the car.
Door cards off, pretty sure I know where it's coming from.
Forgot to take photos after completion but there's definitely no water getting through that seal anymore.
Old...
Thanks. You might be waiting a while, the amount of money I've ploughed into it, i fully intend on making the most of it [emoji1]
Capped at 350 for insurance at the moment but made 390 on the rollers.
Should see over 400 with bigger injectors and 430-450 if I went with a tubular manifold and...

Not posted for a while, thankfully nothing gone wrong (touchwood)
Took her to the Nurburgring and tested it out on the autobahns. Awesome feeling sat up the behind of a Porsche gt4 that's trying to pull off but the humble Leon is glued...

Hi Matty, it made 390bhp limited by injectors at 1.8bar with no use of meth other than additional cooling.
It'll be limited to 350 for now though for insurance purposes and until the lsd is fitted :)
Unfortunately gear based boost wasn't possible due to the size of the compressor with a small...
I may expand on this later ;), but FINALLY! the car is mapped and running well!
It feels like the end of an era, R-tech have done a fantastic job of mapping the car, super smooth, useable power. Unfortunately gear based boost wasn't possible :( but it's a pleasure to drive none the less...
Think someone asked something similar on one of the Facebook groups recently. I think it's a failsafe which detects that the brake is pressed and assumes the throttle position switch is faulty and cuts the power.
Someone else who knows for sure might be able to confirm?!
