I've been Revo'd (for good this time)

[Grey Fox]

... and I can't get enough of it!

Gave the old Credit Card a good pasting last Friday and had one of the best weekends ever - thoroughly recommended!

Second gear - excellent
Fith and Sixth are even better.

Tried my first Optimax run today - awesome
Came in handy down the M4 with this ZS160 'avin a go - he seemed to run out of puff.

Word of warning to any potential buyers, according to the trip computer I averaged only 20.8 to the Gallon this morning - oh dear :eek: . But who cares that was averaging 100-130 mph for 50 miles grinning all the way, head snapping :D .

Couple of minuses though. Throttle seems more sensitive and Turbo is still a bit unpredicatable especially in sixth - you think your at full pelt and then oomph turbo kicks in and bumper of car in front looms rapidly! but then these things aren't really a problem, just have to be more carefull with the right foot round town.

Good fun isn't it ;) :D

Welcome to the club !!

[Grey Fox]

Thanks guys :cheers:

I think the MY03 change should have had this power output standard.

It would have given the trusty Leon a new lease of life in the ever expanding hot hatch market. Oh, and give the R 240bhp+ standard.

I believe you should already know that installing a new cat-back exhaust will increase the max power by around 15 hp and breath even better at higher r.p.m.

Don't you just love to dissapoint those TypeR drivers ??????????

[Grey Fox]

I'd like to try it one day - quick car though by all accounts.

I had the Milltek cat-back exhaust on my beezer and thought it was fab. It looked good and sounded just right (I think your hp increase is a bit optimistic, more like 3-5 I'd say).

Do they do the Miltek Jet for LEON? Does it fit aperature right?

I'd like to see one installed.

:cheers:

I have seen Miltek cat-backs on Audi A4s and Octavia RS, their gain on the dyno was about 10-15 hp.

Think though, that Miltek is the best solution by far .;)

Out of interest, Grey Fox, were you on the M4 at about 9am on Tuesday, heading west around the Severn crossing?

Only I was there in my kitted up Rover 25 GTi, following a 20VT and, indeed, running out of puff. Easily mistaken for a ZR160 ;)

If it was you, you were the deciding factor on me getting rid of the Rover, trading it in for a Leon Cupra R.... I was thinking that if a 20VT could do that, what would the R do?

Probably not as much more as I'd originally hoped, but what can you do? Now what was all this about getting 260bhp out of the twin intercooled engine?

I was making the same journey this saturday just gone, but this time on my bike. No-one overtook me that time! :)

[Grey Fox]

It most certainly was flippy :D

Nice looking car, def. looks like a ZR at quick glance (we were going too fast to tell!). Whats the spec - 1.4 or 1.8vvc?

It was a bit unfair really, that wasn't a true reflection of 20VT as you've probably noticed by my signature that REVO tuning and 212bhp helps - more like how a 'R' would feel.

Don't be put off though stock car is plenty fast enough.

BTW you've made my day, Artic Silver Leons never get spotted :spin:

:cheers:

Coo, small world!

My Rover's a 1.8VVC - 145bhp.. I bought it to be unique.. Only ever seen 2 other GTi's, and I thought the body kit would differentiate me.

Then MGR brought out the Z cars and I was in the crowd again. Pff.

(shameless plug)

The GTi's for sale if anyone's interested -- £6000 ono.
