DangerDave's Leon Cupra 290

[Deleted member 103408]

Very nice I like it, two bits to add.

Firstly have you thought about one of these

Looks like this



Secondly i still have my old Red air intake so if you want to use that to fill up the gap just drop me a pm and we can sort it out.

As another mod I really fancy a set of those Forge coolant pipes in blue. Anyone fitted a set? Worth it? Any pics? Cheers.

Trip to Awesome for remap / clutch complete. I have to run it steady for 500 or so town miles to bed the clutch in then it's time to try out the mods!
I picked up a couple of extra items while I was there...

Should keep me entertained for a while fitting these, either that or I can wait until I have a pile of goodies and take the lot down to Awesome to fit. I am also aware of the black Friday sale coming up so will be at the computer early!! More to come!

Not quite yet on the map - they don't do a rolling road thing because of the new clutch. If I go back once it's bedded in it can be done!
I'll post it here!

That’s going to be one nice Cupra you’ve got there @dangerdave. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks mate I'm enjoying doing the mods!! After all sorts of looking I've settled on the Bilstein B14 coilovers for the car. They need the KW cancelling kit so because this won't be in the Black Friday sale I've ordered it now.
So I reckon on Friday it's the shocks and the oil catch tank kit. Then that's me skint.....
Lol

You'll find a way to carry on haha cancel gym memberships, eat beans for a few months... you'll get some more mods in before christmas.

Let us know how you get on with the DV+. I can never make my mind up whether to get one!

Black Friday is dangerous! Too much to buy lol

I'm starting to sweat!!

 

[dangerdave]

Black Friday deal done.
Bilstein B14 Coilovers (bought the KW cancelling kit too to stop any error messages)
Wagner Intercooler
Leyo Catch Tank Oil Management System
Leyo Billet Fluid Caps for engine bay

I will be adding some threads on here when parts arrive and the fitting begins

Looks like I have a few jobs to do over the next month or two.....

 

[dangerdave]

Got one of the Black Friday sale goodies fitted a few days ago. It was a surprisingly easy job. The trickiest part was making sure not to drop any bolts into the engine!!

The Leyo plate in position. The quality is good!

The catch tank fits nice over the engine mount. I just need to fettle the plastic manifold cover now so it fits over the pipes. Also i reckon the pipe fittings would look good anodised in a colour. Red? Blue?
Coilovers and intercooler next.

 

[dangerdave]

Small break in the clouds this morning so I thought I would tackle the turbo inlet elbow and muffler delete that I had lying around for a few weeks.
A lot easier than I thought to do this job, just over an hour from start to finish. Only a couple of torx bits and a screwdriver required.
I'll be able to see if there is any noticeable difference in sound next time I give the car a run!
Job difficulty = 2/10 !!

 

[dangerdave]

Ok folks it's done. Long day yesterday for both me and the Awesome guys! Intercooler, Coilovers and roll bar fitted and all aligned nicely.
Nice run back up the M6 with the car breathing in nice cold air. Roundabouts are a treat!!!

Before work began

Then some workshop pics. Awesome did an excellent job for me.

Car as finished with it's subtle but nice ride height. Just what I wanted.

It goes into my local garage on Monday to have the Milltek fitted. More to come soon!
