I bought one for about £40 a year ago, properly good investment.

Spent most of my day cleaning both mine and the wife's cars.
Both were blasted with the power washer, snow foamed, rinsed, washed with a wash mitt, rinsed again, clayed, polished and waxed. Tyres and plastics treated to Meg's tire gel.
Then undid my hard work by going on a spirited drive to Helmsley with my mates.

Torque is proportional to horse power so of course it is important. Horse power = torque x rpm /5250. Diesels with a wide spread of a strong torque band will equate to more power unfortunately to create this power on a diesel fuel is needed which in turn creates higher exhaust gas temps couple that with a dpf in place and you run into problems with dpf's clogging up no end. With a dpf delete and good custom file 230 bhp is achievable from both the PD170 and the CR170

^ so you were at the back most of that trip then ?
Ha, yeah E350 has 265bhp, and the Exige is supercharged with 230bhp. The Leon was very poor in the corners. Obviously I can't compare it those cars, it was the 1st time I've taken it down there and I was disappointed.
The Leon's are shocking in the corners. I have no confidence in mine at all, understeer is ridiculous.

Talk to peloquin direct, good product and very cheap if you cut out the middle man!

I have had some hairy moments in mine but I have nothing less than upmost confidence in my Leon's cornering. Maybe it is the lighter front or maybe it comes down to tyres, but I have never been wanting for lateral grip. Traction on the hand..... That has been easy to overcome haha
Danny that gloss black looks mint!

Same here, on a full track day at Oulton I experienced understeer once... from carrying way too much speed into the corner. The handling I found was very competent, though I suppose when you compare it to a Lotus it might seem a bit lardy!
