LC_15 Homegrown BTCC Kit Leon Cupra - APR stage 2, Race exhaust, Painted Rocker Cover

[S800BRN]

I ended buying my spacer from awesome. Think it was £48 or thereabouts.

 

[LC_15]

yeah i might just do that as i get trade discount. work for a roll cage manufacturer.

 

[LC_15]

So fitted my forge spacer today, Paid £25 for it brand new from forge!! found a nice little sight for it.

And after a fiddly 5 mins it was working hahaha first mod is now done. ill upload sme pictures in an hour or so.

next job is to get my grille painted.

and on another front, the sidelights i ordered didnt work they went on one minute and the next turn off?

Couldnt work it out, so thought cant be asked with the cheap ones, so will buy some decent ones.

Also does anyone know if they do a strut brace for the mk2 leon?

and i can get a p-flow intake kit for 150 quid?
what are peoples views on these?

Thanks

Hi on the sidelights going off, are they LED ones? If so they wont work because the lights are CAN-bus controlled, LED's dont draw any power compared to normal sidelight bulbs, therefore the computer cuts the power as it thinks the bulb has blown. Id imagine there's led bulbs with resistors built in which you can buy don't know, but do know that normal leds probably wont work!

So got my new can bus lights come through yesterday so rushed outside and fitted them.

They wasnt working at first but after turning them around they worked result.

So i got some pics for you all. enjoy also had some spare money come up so might just have to purchase some little bits. thinking carbon goodies? or maybe some eibach springs? any idea's?

also booked into the rolling road day at AMD Essex on the 4th march just to see what power am putting down before mods.

More updates soon.

More updates.

Won a Green cotton panel filter, fitted it last night as soon as it arrived.

Verdict - unsure, not much noise change, hasnt felt any more responsive, was looking at D.I.Y intake boxes, Drilling etc.

but either wait for next week, purchase a p-flo kit. or just save up and get the twintake or ITG as they ment to be loud. Plus i want darth vader in my glovebox.

Anyway after the car being Filthy dirty i gave it a treat today.

Cleaned and fueled.

Here some pics.

And after trying to get the trial test for the Revo software but apparently they have taken the trials off.

Anyone know if this is true?

 

[jc_boc]

mmm stage 1 is awesome mate lol. I went ahead and got it and I am so plased I did.......

 

[LC_15]

I know that's why I want the trial just to see how much it changes the car until I can afford the map next month or so

 

[LC_15]

More updates.

some pictures of the green cotten filter install:

tried cleaning my exhaust tip up but without any autosol a bit of 1500 grit sandpaper and fast cut compund was best i had.

Also got new sticker off ebay.

and also won a throttle body Forge motorsport hose.

Also ordered my first big mod, Neuspeed P-FLO intake, Big thanks to Mike awesome gti.



Cant wait till it gets delivered.

Want Darth vader in my glovebox

 

[aka lus]

awesome colour!

 

[markgb]

Nice looking motor mate. Just had my cambelt done at halfords, cost £331 inc waterpump change. Once you go stage 1 mate, it's a slippery slope, enjoy mate.

 

[mrbubba]

Same colour as mine, at least I now know what it would look like with the BTCC kit

is a lovely colour when its cean, in this weater i prob try and wash it once a week.

but there some good updates today.

will get some good how to as well.

 

[LC_15]

Well i see what you guys mean, Darth Vader now lives inside my glovebox.

The intake has changed the car so much it now sounds so evil and the turbo spools harder and louder.

Money well spent.

some pictures and videos.

next on the list is some NGK colder plugs. and a service.

Pics:

comments welcome.

nice car mate. the pflow intake looks good, i think that one will be on my car before long

 

[LC_15]

yeah the price is great on them too compared to the ITG and Forge version.

it makes such a noise inside the cabin its unreal. really sounds like a big turbo supra inside its amazing.

Also after a remap apparently it gets even louder.

the bottom two pictures are actually videos.
