Welcome to my readers rides thread :)
First of all il introduce myself and the car, my name is Jordan Harris im 22 and im a maintenance/mechanical engineer, i own a Seat Leon Cupra R in yellow!!! I bought it around april 2017 with the following modifications;
•remap stage 1 unsure who done it!
•SFS oversize tip
•Ramair air filter and heat sheild
•Forge 008 recirc valve
•N249 delete
•3" miltek full exhaust system straight through with a miltek back box
•Relentless v3 manifold

Other than that it is standard.
I have got a few things to sort out as im looking to stage 2 remap it (with supporting mods) at Badger 5. So first of all i will be installing over the next few weeks a new rebuilt standard turbo ko4-023 from midlands turbo as mine was cracked, a built head BAM rather then AMK as mine was cracked on the inlet ports!! And the general major service, cambelt, water pump, hydraulic tensioner, fan belt, oil change, new spark plugs, coolant swap and a brake flush ad new fluid!. There will be more to come as im looking to heavily modify this car in the future so keep an eye out and il stay updated as much as possible!

I was going to post a few pictures of how it sits now but i cant find how to do that so any help would be great!

Hi Jordan. Good car choice.
So to post pictures you need 15 posts or 2 weeks as a member if I recall correctly.
