Seat Leon "CupraR" 4x4

[VT86]

Greetings from Finland. First sorry about my english, that ain't my native language and second sorry about picture quality that's my Nokias fault (and little bit of mine coz i broke my camera and have to use phones)

Car is 2003 Seat Leon TS4, AWD with 1.8t. Previous owner have changes Cupras bumbers and sideskirts to it.

I will propably update car little bit. At eastern car will get custom software, and for summer trackdays Brembo GT series upgrade brakes. Better downpipe and cat would be nice when I find one which won't cost fortune.

And testing with my previous car (Toledo 1M) summer tires/wheels. BBS CH 17" x 8.5"
And notice problem that in this car there is Koni coilover suspension that rubber touchs to the coilover Have to use spacer. Toledo whit KW V1 didn't have this problem.

edit: Notice that I can't post pic yet here so theres only beging of links. Sorry (If some one could post those here I would appreciate.

Yes, it's stock factory model, quite rare but some of those are sold here in Finland. Only thing that from stock factory version look like regular TopSport model. It's sold here as TS4. Previous owner install that Cupra bodykit coz small accident where orginal bumber and cooler was damaged.

(Btw. here is also couple AWD Cupra TDI also. I almost bought one coz I drive quite much but it was silver and I don't like so much that colour.)

When I get my 15 posts I will put couple better pics here. I take yesterday some quite ok pics of it

I like that color also, it's quite simple but still it's so different that you can find car from parking lot quite easily I'll post some new better pics soon (after I'll my 15 posts).

May I ask what there is done with that Leon. I'm planing quite simple system for that car coz I drive quite much (25000-30000km = ~15000ml - 17000ml). Basicly better downpipe (when I find one), water/metanol injection and possible better IC, Brembo big brake kit and ecu software.

If someone wonder why only maybe IC but sure for water/metanol injection it's because finnish vehicle inspection.

And being at work is getting more and more expensive. Just asked my boss about RH AS Speiche adapter rims + GY Eagle F1 tires coz we have one old unused set of those. And also asked about Brembo kit.

Question, should I make small project topic of this car?

Would love to see how a Leon AWD is compared to the FWD we have over here! TDI4 would be great fun. Well any of them would to be honest!

Maybe you should start a Readers Ride thread!

 

[JamesL]

Yes get yourself a readers ride thread!
