Hey people, thought it was about time i done my own readers thread. I have had the car bout 3 years now i bought it completely standard

I started to mod it after a couple of months of owning it. To start off with i added the forge 007p which wasnt enough, so i added a bmc cda forced induction kit then after taking a trip to gti international i got there to find a deal from custom codes which i couldnt refuse so the car had a remap. Also the wheels got refurbed in high gloss black with polished faces done by Lepsoms in Gillingham,Kent and they did a superb job on them.
And after that i kind of lost interest in the car and stopped buying things for it. But that has stopped as of late when i was looking at getting rid of it for a Focus ST3 225. I went and test drove one and compared to the leon it wasnt as good so i decided to keep the leon and improve on it. So it begins from here

Here are the latest pics of the car and even these are old will get some new ones soon

This week i have ordered my self some weitec 40mm lowering springs and a piper x panel filter(thanks to some advice from d.k). The car is booked in at Amd next saturday to get the springs fitted and 4 wheel alignment, and i am attacking the standard air box today to smooth it and drill it.

Looking good mate, you coming to the meet tommorow?? Also will you be interested in a downpipe and sports cat/decat soon. Some of us are speaking with a well known company to make them and if we get enough people we can get them much cheaper compared to some of the other brands

*cupragav* · 19-03-2010, 16:55

Springs have arrived

and i have completed the air box, productive day for me

*cupragav* · 19-03-2010, 16:57

Yeah am coming to the meet tomorrowmate, i have been looking at down pipes and decat, pipewerx? that will hopefully be next month but i can hold on, need to get the front of the car painted to. Its looking a bit tatty now

*cupragav* · 19-03-2010, 17:00

On the to do list are
down pipe
decat/sports cat
neuspeed arb(advice needed please)
and the dog bone mount
and possibly if i can stretch to it a fmic but not sure on which one

*brad1* · 19-03-2010, 17:01

Sweet

Its a company called Hayward and Scott who will more than likely be doing them. D.K is going to be the best one to ask about them. But i think it was something like £300 fitted for the downpipe and sports cat, cheaper with a decat tho. Check out jonjays readers ride thread, i know his was only intercooler pipes done by them, but you can see by the quality of them its good products
