hmmmmm......... exhaust is good but i think it would look better if it was tucked up closer to the cut out in the bumper so its nice snug fit.

Like the car, nice and dark looking ... evil .. :D

Mr Roboto

15-08-2005, 14:45

Yeah I have to really careful when I reverse off the drive because of the high curb on the other side of the road :thumbd:

What suspension mod's have you done??

AKcupraR

15-08-2005, 15:11

which exhaust is it? full system?

PhilW

15-08-2005, 15:11

Not liking that pipe one bit. Looks like a standard exhaust with a '10 pound tail piece' bolted on.

But the rest of the car looks sweet.

15-08-2005, 15:13

I’d have to echo the “it needs moving up”, also could do with shorting it a bit, so it does stick out as much.

Are those 19s on there?

Mr Roboto

15-08-2005, 16:11

I put some Weitec height adjustable Coilovers on

Yeah I would of liked it abit higher but It's okay for now.

Yep the rims are 19"

Got a new induction kit arriving tomorrow as I'm currently back on the factory filter as I sold my Dynatwist on the weekend. will post a pic when it is fitted.

the rest well....... :whistle: ........ sorry the exhasts looks like it bolted on...rims...not my thing... the rear lights..look,s to dark i think like the dark lexus lights..but the thing i do love is the car ... ;)

Ruddmeister

15-08-2005, 16:53

Wheels aren;t my cup of tea either but the car looks good on that suspension, have your done the Anti-Roll Bars too??

One thing it has convinced me is that the silver angel eyes will be the way I go, don't dislike yours, just prefere the way the Spanish LCR with silver ones looked.

Good to see your trying different things on your car.... :thumbup:

Thanks

Yeah have spacers just clears the front Brembo's, got the Forge 007p and the Fabia rear wiper.

Gonna get rear window tints soon so I can't wait for that.

Gonna try the Pippercross Viper induction kit was ment to be delivered yeserday but I missed the delivery man by 4 mins :censored: so It will be redelivered today.

Mr Roboto

16-08-2005, 08:07

Humm not sure on the exhaust or rear lights but the rest of the car likey likey!!

I think that the black angel eye lights look good on black Leons but Chrome on all other colours. Don't think the black one's would suit red, yellow or silver/platinum.

Are they the UK spec lights or German / EU ones converted for UK roads??

Yeah Didn't want chrome on my black car as they would stick out to much, and the black one's blend in more with the car. But everyone has different tastes :)

They are left hand drive but they have beams adjusters.

Mr Roboto

16-08-2005, 08:23

You see the second to last pic of the rear?

If I went to a powerflow garage could they redo the tailpipe from the back box so it is abit neater?

Think it just needs bending up alittle and maybe alittle shorter, should be easy for them yes/no :confused:

Tallpaul

16-08-2005, 09:02

If I went to a powerflow garage could they redo the tailpipe from the back box so it is abit neater?

Shouldn't be a problem for any garage, as long as the mechanic has an eye for detail. Just a case of maybe bending the hangers and getting a neater fit. My Milltek exhaust had a fairly poor fit to start, but with a bit of playing around it fits sweetly.

So how do you adjust the beam with the beam adjusters then, where do they fit on??

Scotty_b

16-08-2005, 10:45

yeah any zorst place should be able to do it for you. Powerflow may even have a slightly better pipe, if your not 100% happy with it

Mr Roboto

16-08-2005, 11:06

So how do you adjust the beam with the beam adjusters then, where do they fit on??

On each beam there are four screws which allow you to move the beam alignment up, down, left and right :)

Mmmmmmm I like the Angel Eyes so much that i will be getting some in black , front of car looks well.But not keen on the back of the car ,sorry. Got same rear wiper set up as yours but opting to put a miltek system on . Did try some Lexus style rear light but went back to originals ,think the car looks better with them . Modding is only personal preference so if you like it thats what really counts mate ,it really does not matter what we think .

mikeydee

16-08-2005, 12:29

those wheels are sick! exhaust is quite nice abit on the big side..... and not sure about black rear lights but rest is wicked mate! ;)

I looked into them, what dose it sound/perform like? there abit dear at over 200quid thou :(

Scotty_b

16-08-2005, 16:02

Looking a bit small but what does it perform like?

Mr Roboto

16-08-2005, 16:33

Gave it a good 2 hour blast around.

Sound wise it does sound better :thumbup: Performance wise they same really.

Still it was only one drive so far more testing to come :D

My SEAT dealer fitted it would they be able to raise the tailpipe up abit closer to the rear valance?

Tallpaul

16-08-2005, 17:33

My SEAT dealer fitted it would they be able to raise the tailpipe up abit closer to the rear valance?

Assuming the back box is the same approximate size as the OE one it should be possible, unless the tail pipe itself is in a funny place?

Putting my exhaust on meant bending one of the hangers to stop it hanging down (a bit like yours does but not as much), then had to add some spacers to the hangers to get it to sit in the middle of the bumper cut-out.

As it's a custom system, if you can't get it to fit neatly then give Powerflow a call and ask them why not.

Roboto great car man and black !!!!!!UBER!!!! Deffo the best Leon colour IMO . I love your rims but now u neeeeed much biggers discs ! Get some AP rotors on them there badgers ! The zorst is wrong atm but with tweaking I think the Leon is big enough to carry that off. Lights are a no no for me but thats it.

Not much different from the Dynatwist slightly better sound, and stays cooler.

The air intake pipe is much better than the one Green supplied for the Dynatwist, much more flexible :)

Got my windows tinted on Saturday by www.gatwickautoshades.com really pleased with the results.

Brighton Femme recommended them to me.

Yep Got a brandnew system on there now thanks to the guys at Powewrflow, with a gorgeous Oval tailpipe [B)] Sounds great when you change gear the back box gives a nice grumble sound :thumbup:

Car was finished on Tuesday just been to lazy to take a pic :whistle:

I'd like to get mine done soon. How long did it take and did they do all the windows? How dark did you go? How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking, I think Brighton Femme paid about £270 with a discount? Sorry for all the questions. :cheers:

From 9:30am till around 5:00 pm

For all the windows tinted at 35% but with the LCR black interior it looks abit darker. I paid £240 and the end results are great, really pleased with it :clap:

Brighton Femme paid about £220 maybe less as she has used them before and her family/friends.

TDCupra

01-09-2005, 16:38

Thats a good price, I'm definately gonna get mine done there then. Any chance I could pop round and have a look at your car one night? I live quite near you.

MR ROBOTO,

Nope HID's don't fit in the Angel eyes sadly :rolleyes: the standard bulbs that come with the angel eyes are okay abit yellow.

So I got nice Xenons for the main headlights and some LED's for the angel eye rings

How do you find the suspension? How much have you lowered it by?

Oh, and I love those lights, not sure they'd look right on my silver one though!!! :cry:

Owen

Cheers,

Brought some coilovers so I could get the right height I wanted, roughly lowered 2.5 inches on to 19" rims

As for the Angel eyes you can get them in chrome aswell, which would suit your silver car better ;)

Hairdryer and something like a lolipop stick, heat badge with hairdryer and lever and edge up, more heat, more leverage and they peel off.

Do not rush and use something that will not mark your paint.....screwdrivers are a no no.

Remove sticky residue using soapy water, maybe petrol or meths or something (not white spirit)

That's what I liked about Forge's FMIC no cutting or drilling required. Come's with a modified new crash bar with brackets for the FMIC to fit perfectly and safely behind the front bumper.

Very pleased with it :thumbup:

No problems with them

Just prefer the original lights better at the end.

And how about the FMIC, did tou had to make special adjustments?

Nope Forges FMIC is a great piece of kit, not cutting or drilling required.

Here's a link for there fitting instructions

05-03-2006, 15:39

Thanx alot for replying so quickly to my posts and for the fitting instructions thow i think in my case its not quite the same because i owen a FR 20 vt and as you might know i don't have 2 intercoolers. I might off mised the part where you tell the BHP of your ride, i'm a little curios about that
I must ask you to excuse my engleash, i'm not form UK.
Best regardes!!!!!

Forge do a FMIC for the FR as well

Mr Roboto

07-03-2006, 10:39

So, now that you have mounted on de Forge FMIC, I supose next is a turbo charger. How high do you want the increase the horse power? Other wise I understud that it is not a big difference in the performance of the engiene by instaling a FMIC and keeping the factory turbo. So i've heard....

Gonna just get a Remap other Revo, Custom Code or Jabba then that will be that for me :)

The FMIC should make a difference come summer time, hopefully have the Remap by then.

Where did you get them rear lights they are well cool want some badly

Have had the police behind me loads of times day and night and they have not said anything.

Still got ages before I have my first MOT, but I will switch the lights back to standard come the day.

Just in case :D

Cheers

I would like a Jabba remap but if there is a problem with the remap I would have to go all the way back again it is abit of a journey :(

If they can guarantee no problems with the remap then I would make the journey up there.

If not there is a Custom Code & Revo dealer 1 hour drive away, so don't know really :shrug:

All fitted this morning

The charge pipe is great fits perfectly just like the original, plus the turbo is now louder. Gave it a good blast on the way home :D

As for the short shifter FANTASTIC even my SEAT mechanic said that was a great little mod. It feels so much more sporty now I highly recommend it :clap:

I actually found my old LCR better when I fitted coilovers, less tendancy to nose dive and roll, less movement under load generally so even though it was lowered 20mm it was better over speed bumps etc..........sounds odd but it's true.

Thanks for the advice rudd.
Was in brighton 2 weeks ago drove into a multi story car park, ended up on the roof,nightmare.
Drivng down every ramp caught front spilter, lol people behind where going mad how slow I was taking it.
Will look into getting coilovers if you think it will help.

New transmission mount going on tomorrow :)

The mount is now fitted have to say I am impressed with EIP's products so far.

"This center/rear lower mount decreases motor rocking incredibly, instantly you will feel more power to the ground. The EIP motor mount does not use hard polyurethane found in most other mounts. Because of this, little to no additional vibration will be felt when using our mount."

I'm gonna sound like the Ronseal advert but it does exactly what it says on the tin :D

Very pleased so far ;)
