From Russia With Love.... I made contact with a Russian guy (not the ebay one) and discussed import a number of kits including MK2 and MK3 Leon.
Decided to order a sample kit for myself
Instructions
OEM
Started
Done (decided to watch the football before doing it hence the darkness)
Please note in the pictures I have put the struts on upside down, I realised my error and swapped them around!
I still have to remove the OEM arm which isn't as easy as just pulling it out like on the MK2

yeh IS38.
for a long time 400 was the max with the turbo but seen a few european tuners break 400 and then APR started breaking it as well with a few Golf R so was hoping to break it myself (expected around 405) so really pleased.

Nice work Andrew and that is some power.
You have done it the right way...as it not just loads of grunt but good tyree,uprated brakes and breathing mods.
Have you done anything with the suspension?
Those brakes are huge and I doubt they would go under 18s like team dynamics? Would help reduce weight where needed.
Did you use the lap timer at the ring or just get to know it?
I have not been for quite a few years now as it all got a bit busy and manic on tourist days. I remember one late summer bank hols it was open for half a day max over 4 days as so many crashes due to the early damp and wet under the trees as you come into Nikki Laura curve and up through kesselchen up the hill. That was enough for me to say no more and left for spa early.
I remember going in 2000 when it was a bikers hang out and paradise....then top gear got on the case and that was it. Car nut heaven.

Suspension is VWR suspension as well, The brakes will fit under 18" wheels with spacers, I already run spacers with the 19" wheels.
I just went for a few laps, I don't want to attempt to go quick or else... smash haha.
