Danny, you will be amazed how AWESOME you will get the Leon to look.
Flat black is the number on colour to give you the most awesome results.
My car looked AMAZIN for three years.
I used to get comments all the time.
BUT
Be aware, its a MASSIVE obsession, MASSIVE

Bit Of a update..
Thats Everything Ordered now so its just a matter of waiting for the through the post irrc 1 weeks for them to come,Then another week for my Mechanic to build it all back up and run it in...
It Seems I might have exceeded the Torque hence me very slightly Bending rods But there is no proof...But HopeFully My AMK Pistons & IE uprated Rods Should be fine...All ive needed to replace has been Headgasket,Headbolts,2x Exhaust Gaskets,New Tang Bearings everything else has been Fine...The oil pump Has been Fine as have the compression....Im going to Run my new engine on Mobile 1 stuff its expensive but i see it only right todo it...
Also While the Car has been off the road for 1month i Desided to Fully Machine Polish it and Paint My LCR wheels a Antherciate Colour and it looks lush just a shame i can't show it off Plus on another note i finally got the wot box wires in to the dash and engine so once its run in i can just simply Wirer them together saving curzon alot of time...hehehe.
the Best idea for me was to fit my New forge actuator to the k04 while it was so accessable to get to it seemed the correct way todo it,but il sort it out once its running so i can get the boost right off...
Anyway onwards and upwards and battlefield 2 is calling me..
chow.!!!

Thanks you..i thought the same..
Thats it know all the parts have arrived..
* New Bam Cylinder Head
* New VVT tensioner
* New ACL Rod Bearings
* New Headgasket
* New Exhaust gaskets
* New WotBox
* 2 New Oil filter Filter
* 5ltrs G12 coolant
* New Oil Retainer
* New Forge actuator
Im just wondering is it worth me Buying new Rings And a new Oil Pump as thats £200 Plus the running in oils and changes so that around £300 more...
Also Might have Some ARP Head bolts too..If the lad will accept my offer if not OEM ones will do just fine...
Nearly there now so i can all go back together

Danny, drop the WOT box. I just can't see the point of it on a daily driver. Fair enough on a drag type car, but putting unnecessary strain on parts for a fast road car I think is pointless. Unless you doing drag races in your local Tescos car park....
Hardly anyone on here runs a WOT box on their Leon, and for a clear number of reasons....

Ah ok, thought it was the daily driver. Either way, I think the WOT unless on a properly prepped drag car, it's too harsh on the running gear of a Leon.
Looking forward to seeing it running again.
