Evening everyone,
I'm coming back to the Cupra world, looking to buy a Mk2 Leon Cupra in the next couple of weeks when I find the right one (standard). I'm willing to spend a maximum of £1500 on modifications, I know some will laugh at that (as in once I start I'll never stop ) but I've got a 4 month old and this will be my daily family car which is fun when its just me in the car.
I've no intention of tracking the car for a couple of years at least, live in Sheffield so pot hole central, on the plus side we have Statlers, JBS (who I couldnt fault did all work on my LCR) plus not far to Manchester for Awesome. So criteria is a bit quicker (but minimal risk to reliability/accept there is always some), bit better handling, I think brakes are more than good enough for my Stage 1 needs.
I was thinking of the following after reading loads of threads from people like Al, TSI_Mike, Hurdy, JonnyC who all developed amazing cars but have deeper pockets than me.
Pro Race 1.2 ~£500 + transfer existing tyres
Eibach Sportlines ~150 + fitting
Rev D DV ~£50 + fitting
Stage 1 remap (GIAC (Statlers) or Revo (Awesome)) ~£500
Then finally either of 2 options below:
- BSH (or other brand) Engine mounts (full set) ~£200 + fitting
- Powerflex Lower Engine bush and ITG (to match Revo) or EVOMS/VF (to match GIAC) ~£300 + fitting
Any thoughts on what you would do different upto maximum £1500 would be much appreciated... Cheers
