AndrewJB's Mk2 Leon FR 2.0 16V TDI "Der Rote Baron"

The time Has nearly come to say bye bye to Ibiza ownership , If my Ibiza was a PD130,PD160 or 1.8 2OVT i wouldn't be selling her but i carn't put up much longer with 90-110bhp

So Today i did a deal to get rid of my Ibiza , on my 21st Birthday (30th December) i will be going to the local Seat Dealer to pick up this....







2008 58 Seat Leon FR TDI 16V PD170 (with DPF), With BTCC Black 18" Wheels and Bluetooth Pack , Naturally also comes in the Fastest Colour :thumbsup:


Short Term plans
Debadge Rear (Done)
Black Cupra Mirrors (Done)
Black Cupra Grill + Honeycomb Insert (Done)
Red BTCC Rear Spoiler (Done)
HID'S (Done)

Long Term Plans
DPF Delete (Done)
Custom Exhaust (Done)
Custom Remap (Done)
Panel Filter (Done)
Lowering Springs (Done)


So between Now and the 30th The De-Modification will begin on the Ibiza , Back to standard she goes

Theres a guy on TDIsport whos managed to get 230 odd BHP outta one with very little mods so looking forward to chasing them figures. Basically its just about exhaust and DPF Removal with these

Already got a 3 hour drive to Scotland on 31st to test it out aswell

Tell you what tho them 312mm (IIRC thats what its got) Brakes are Wicked , When i test drove The MK2 Leon Cupra , The even Bigger 34x odd brakes where far to much , Everytime i taped brakes came to a standstill

Yeh DPF Will be off ASAP

Knight im heading back to MK Tonight in the ibiza tho

Good choice on the Leon FR matey.
DPF desperately need removing for anything more then 210-220bhp. Standard car will average around 42-46mpg which is well over 50mpg with the DPF off
Don't know how the suspension will compare to your coilover setup but I find it's very tough on uneven roads
Apart from that, enjoy the ride!

My Coilovers are bad tbh , If the road surface isnt completely smooth then it will shake you silly , Motorway driving is bad because you bounce up and down

I did notice that the suspension was quite hard on FR but its no where near as hard as mine , It didnt corner like a Go Kart like my Ibiza but tbh it still felt preety good

Im not gonna bother mapping her , Im just gonna save up for the DPF Off - Remap package from either AMD or JBS who ever is gonna do it cheaper

Get a BTCC spoiler on it, they look really good with just that addition without the rest of the blobby body kit. Theres a yellow FR in Sandbach with just the spoiler as an addition, looks great.

Its been ordered already mate just looking for the cheapest / Best paint job now think bodycraft in Wynbury are gonna do it for me


Hows the LCR?

Wayne - The ibiza is going and the MK1 Golf is sitting outside doing f all , i might track car it or i might just sell it

Depends on if i get my promotion at work now
