Hey people, whilst browsing on Max Power yesterday I noticed a Leon Cupra R on there. I automatically clicked to see what it was all about. However my excitement after seeing a Cupra R on there quickly changed after I read what the driver claimed.

He is trying to say that the car producing 290 bhp and 340 Torque. A top speed of 170 mph and a 0-60 time of 5.3 secs. Ok that is achievable I guess however not with just the performance mods he claims he has done. Revo remap and a K&N Induction Kit. Yeah right like hell you will hit those type of figures with just that done to the engine.

I know there are several people on this forum which have big power gains however with loads more mods. If you are one of these please do state what you have done to achieve it so we can compare.

I can stand people who haven't got a clue about tuning and lie simply to look good to others!

Love the comments.....

Good choice of rims! and '170 in your best days'

This is the reason i spotted reading 'Max Sh!t' years ago.

I agree with you there, the quality from Fart Power, no I mean Max Power dropped ages ago. I am a keen reader of Fast Car however even that has it's moments!!

I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

If it's only 40% complete and he's got a big turbo and re-bore planned then 290bhp might be his target which seems within the realms of possibility.

........ WHAT AM I SAYING????? He's posted the car on Max Power!!!! Of course he can't have any realistic expectations of the affect of modifications. The upgraded turbo will be the existing turbo but painted red with a Max Power sticker on it.

290bhp with a map and a K&N induction kit??? yeh easily...but if he'd really done his research then he would of gone for the universal MAX POWER cone filter instead of the k&N.... then he woulda been pushing out... i dunno... maybe 500+bhp.....

i give the bloke a ring and he told me wat mods are next on the list:

1. paint calipers red (stops better apparently!!)
2. sun strip with 'motorsport' on it (looks the dogs)
3. '16v' badge from halfords(no car is complete without)
4. viper stripes( for obvious reasons)
5. Universal 8 inch jap style backbox from motorworld ( adds like another 25bhp)
6. max power seat covers (why not?)
7. Lexus lights
8.a 'Turbo' badge off a 911
