4 wheel drive really? Didnt know there was a 4x4 leon.

 

[suj]

In "Europe" (minus UK) there was.

 

[VT86]

Here's something I just wanted to try (because I have to do my motorbike covers with carbon fiber vinyl)

Sorry about cameraphone quality next pic is better quality.

And finally pic with summer tires (Toledos old BBS CH wheels and dirty car )

 

[tyrer]

4wd should have been offered on the Leon in the UK, gutted it wasnt.

Nice motor mate. Ch's are just a perfect wheel for so many cars.

 

[boost_addict]

very jelous that they do a 4x4 cupra sport, bet these are awsome with around 250bhp and 4wd

 

[nitroverf]

Nice car !

The 20vt4 blue are quite rare

 

[VT86]

I'm hoping that i will have enough time and my to build this one to hit something around 245-265hp. At the moment I'm running about 205-210hp (bit over 170gr/s) and aprox. 350-400Nm of torq (260-295lb/ft) with custom software.

 

[VT86]

Little bit spare time at work so I drawed CAD pic of enginebay cover. Friend of mine will cut it with cnc plasmacutter. (I can save CAD file to DXF for cutter).

Nice way to hide Xenon ballasts

It's still prototype pic, have to print it and test with paper version that it will fit.

Already summer in Helsinki you say??

Law requires here also to changes tires at April 16th but we can/and have to use winter tires if weather requires so

And yes it's quite good weather, sunday there was something like 14-17°C.

 

[VT86]

Does anyone know that is it possible to fit SeatSport (Ibizas) FMIC to Leon Cupra. I mean quite easily, coz everything can be fitted I know but then it's smarter to bought some universal IC.

 

[VT86]

Fast washing and waxing. Also put new summertire rims RH adapter rims with GY Eagle F1 225/45R17 , and during test drive notice that boost leak is getting even worst

 

[VT86]

Saturday I'm planing to go "summers" first track-day.

So todays job was to try to find boost leak and fix broken breather hose.

Here we go, broken breather hose. Maybe it was time to fix it ?

This is how it was done

And ready to road, better than new

After fixing that I tried to find that boost leak (or I think that there is one). I took inner fender off so I could look boost pipes hoses from turbo to the IC. This is what I found, damn, means that I really have to upgrade IC this summer

Any how, like I assumed there is quite big changes that boost leak is that hose which came from Turbo to the pancake pile. That is something what I have to look when I have changes to get car to my friends work place and lift it up with 2-post.

 

[VT86]

Good ideas for low budget FMIC ? And what size would be good, I don't really want to have huge IC, because I want minimize problems at MOT.

 

[VT86]

Ups, little bit more Carbonfiber vinyl. I was just testing how stretchy it is and even before I notice this happend

Overall

Close pic

 

[VT86]

Pic of that new breather hose because it dosen't show some reason in orginal message and I can't edit that one.

I still need good Ideas for new IC and how I can get more power out.

Wow, shame about the cordoba, looked a very tidy car!

And very jealous of the Leon 4wd, bet it handles well!

Just out of curiosity, what engine was in the cordoba?

IC Question

Help, have anyone fitted Seat Ibizas SeatSport FMIC to regular Leon Cupra (with Cupra R Bumper)

Because of the MOT I have to use something that propably can pass the inspection. So only options are OEM Seat parts. Is there any parts of piping what I can use ? Or have I build whole thing up by myself ? I mean I don't wanna bought those pipes if they are useless and otherhand if I can use some of those that will help me alot (specially pipe with MAP sensor).

thanx
