hmm sounds good old boy

 

[ScottHmk4]

was looking through the mk1 pages to find out what a remap will get you

"or a 110bhp will remap to 135-140" not too bad increase for a 110 standard.

only way ur gonna c bigger gains is by upgrading the intercooler, going hybrid, clutch etc etc....you could spend like £3000 and get it to 190-200bhp (alot of money for a 2001 tho)

 

[hoggy90]

all im gonna be doing to it performance wise scott is the remap or tuning box,upgraded panel filter and de-restrict airbox and an exhaust system...thinking a miltek one as ive heard they reduce the diesel sound and make it sound alot better whilst increasing performance

 

[ScottHmk4]

good shout, wen did u say ur test is? cant be far away now? did u text Colin??

 

[hoggy90]

its on the 8th mate just hoping the weather clears a bit : ( or chances are it will get cancelled.
yeh a text him about 10mins ago saying he can come round at quarter to 5...he hasnt replied though..

 

[hoggy90]

New plans- rear bumper gettin completely smoothed and colour coded,and still on the hunt for a cupra bumper!

 

[hoggy90]

Ok well ive been going to do this for a while but was putting it off as the car was standard......until now lol
well this is how i got her-

Then i got my gear and handbrake gaiters installed with a little help from scotthmk4's bro

its suttle but makes a little difference until i get paid and i can move on to the bigger mods

sorry for the picture quality and the filthy interior but its too cold to attempt to clean it lol

 

[ScottHmk4]

this thread has died a little, much been happening

 

[hoggy90]

nope just got my hids in but havent taken any pics yet

 

[hoggy90]

ok thought i'd update this a little for all my die hard fans out there.....*tumbleweed*
well ive got my 8k hids fitted, got a set of seatcupra.net stickers made which will be getting put onto the rear window... ordered led licence plate bulbs which should arrive today, my rubstrips are being colour coded as we speak,the car is having a full detail done tomorow at 8am and should be scratch free! and i should have a leon cupra bumper for the 23rd off of sly delvechio! so all in all im pretty chuffed and i'll get some pics up as stuff is done....all i need now is to source a boost gauge and pillar pod in grey help

 

[Gordz]

Sounds really good mate!

Can't wait to see photos when you've got all that stuff done!

I've got led plate bulbs, but not installed them yet as I couldn't get the bloody bulb case things out of the bumper. But I've misplaced the leds now so can't get them done anyway!

 

[gazR]

any updates mate? gone quiet now, any lastest pics? nomads probably sell best pod for the leon

not really gazR but ive saved up 2k so watch this space in the next couple of weeks!
need to invest in a new camera, couldnt find the usb cable for my old one lol...
but i thought id let you in on what im planning to do with my money:-

bonnet respray, front passenger door respray, cupra or cupra R bumper(front and rear)
side skirts
my mates 18inch alloys,forget the name of them lol
lower, possibly coilies if someone gives me an advantage over lowering springs?
tints
front and rear wiper up-grades
nomad pillar pod-boost and oil
new alpine head unit
and if i've got enough left either a set of leather seats or the pd130 turbo

 

[brad1]

Good list, but just the turbo would be pointless, you would need bigger injectors to make the most of it, then a new clutch would be needed, ive been there and suffered all this lol

 

[hoggy90]

damn lol talk about shitting all over my dreams brad

 

[gazR]

good list, so the mods will be coming thick and fast. why dont you just buy a new cable for you camera? more money on the car

i contemplated this genius idea but i have no idea where to get one? comet or something? a dunno

 

[ScottHmk4]

there not hard to find hoggy, type camera cable into ebay and voila, theres one at 20p just now but will have ended by time u read this......i think 20p is cheaper than a new camera.
