SEAT Leon FR CR170

[NathFRMk2]

Haha, thanks! Now to go and try to find him =).

£120 ain't too sad could have been worse, and lets face it, it's a small price to pay for the amount of 'get out of jail free' cards your gonna be able to cash in with the Mrs now! "But don't you remember when you reversed my car into a lampost!" haha..

I need to update my readers ride, don't think I've written on it for over a year, lots of things should be happening over the next few months so I'll update it then.

I've got the PD170 also, Love it!

 

[Unit9]

Please update it and plenty of pics. Enjoy reading other people's, yeah abit of a bargaining tool I gues. Luckily just missed the rear difusser etc

Motor looks sweet mate! Best colour also but I'm biased haha.They look loads better with the rear plastic painted gloss black. Was going to get a trc rear deffuser but because of the fitting issues they had at the time decided to just make the stock one better.

 

[Unit9]

Was going to get the triple r rear too, what put me off the exhaust looks poor with it in my opinion and ski like you say figment, so I went for the optional cupra r one and so pleased I didn't, well worth the extra. Goes not this Monday but next to sort the rear bumper off when the Mrs reversed into the lamp post. Going to get them to do just the bumber plate plinth on the front gloss black too, do t want the bottom lip done as I like how the facelift bumper looks wider than the pre facelift which looks deeper

 

[Unit9]

So tried the action cam out for the first time today, had to mount it on the rear wiper' hence the rubbish view, due to my car mount hasnt been delivered yet, pretty happy with the quality and gives you an idea of the sound, will get a better clip up once i can mount it with a view of the exhaust.

Also a quick clean to remove plenty of salt.

And cant wait to get this fixed on monday after the Mrs reversed into the lamp post in our street

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Great quality off the camera mate can't fault it.

 

[Unit9]

Cheers would have been nice if there was actually some thing to look at' like rear difusser etc

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Use a suction cup for my gopro they are good for inside and out if you can get the same for yours it's money well spent.

 

[Unit9]

That's what I'm waiting on to be delivered, think I'll get a go pro one later down the line but this is going to do just fine for now

 

[KebabWarrior81]

I've got the HD Hero 2 and does a good job I'd imagine you can get them at a reasonable price now mate.

 

[Unit9]

Sure I seen them in eBay, used around £140 - £170 may be wrong. What I'm
Going for next like

When the car is at the body shop on Monday need to ask them to do the front number plate plinth gloss black too

 

[Unit9]

Today got the rear bumper repaired.

whilst there where on. got them to do the number plate plinth gloss black

just need to get a cupra r grill now for the black surround rather than chrome

Hi there, I'm from Portugal and I follow your reader ride and like it a lot, I own a SEAT Leon 1.6 TDI CR 105hp with FAP Off, EGR Off, remapped at 151hp, I also have straight exhaust, Pipercross air filter, Eibach ProKit, all this for the engine/ECU part. The aesthetic part I have Cupra bumper in the front with the honeycomb front grille and I will put the cupra tail spoiler (already painted in matte black), painting the calipers in yellow and the wheels in black matte (until I buy new 18' ones)... So with the introduction of my Leon, my question is, it is possible to do the hardcut limiter in my car?

Thank you

 

[Unit9]

Yes it's possible to put a Hardcutt limiter on. Get the person who done the car to do it. I never added one to mine as after a short while you get bored of it as gets annoying' it's more f a gimmick

 

[juls]

But what I don't understand is, it will limit the RPM always or only standing still?

 

[Unit9]

Limit it always, you can also set it to where ever you like, we usually advise and set them 4700rpm

 

[juls]

And from there it will never pass the 4700rpm for example? Even when we drive normally the car?
That way I cannot push the car to his top speed?

 

[Unit9]

Exactly' but you can set it to where ever you wish

 

[juls]

But have you seen any 1.6 CR with that? I've looked online and only find few...
Is it worth it?! My mapper willdo it for free if I ask him.
