AndrewJB's MK2 Leon Cupra R "die gelbe Baron"

[AndrewJB]

When i had my Cupra Seat's in my old FR i took the under storage off my FR seats and it fitted my Cupra seats so it should fit

 

[Funk]

I love the color on these cars.. very neat and clean look, yet plenty of work done, i really love this ride!

 

[Marshall]

Would be interested to hear when you get it fitted.
I added an armrest but miss the under seat storage my fr had.

It fits just done it, its a right pain in the rear though if you fit with the seat bolted in!

Ideally you need to unbolt seat and tip it up

Nice clean looking car mate. Liking it (Y)

 

[AndrewJB]

Purchased one of these today

Neuspeed P-Flo 2nd hand from a member on SCN

Im hoping to make a shield for it that fits near the filter itself to shield it from hot air (like a few of the other induction kits)

When i fit this i wont be able to re-fit my LCR engine cover as the air filter is built into it, so i have 3 options

1, Buy a Cupra engine cover and chop it up
2, Buy a Audi TT-S Engine cover (these fit without modification)
3, Leave the engine cover off, Fit Red coilpacks

I will post photo's when its fitted

 

[mark-cupra]

nice purchase im hoping to get one of these soon but its probably gonna be after xmas for me now lowering is my first priority this year lol

 

[AndrewJB]

Mine got lowered straight away

 

[Marshall]

The tts cover costs about £85 I had one then sold it I've since bought another cover off eBay for £30 and modified it.

I have my engine cover but am keeping it incase I put the car back to stock if I sell one day, or sell with mods on, aint made my mind up yet lol. I am liking the idea of the TT cover though with no mods.

 

[mark-cupra]

Yh me too if it goes straight on

Andrew what do you mean by the red coilpacks being an option? if you fit them wont you need a cover? ive heard something about moisture getting in if theres no engine cover on is this correct do you know?

cheers

 

[LONZO]

Springs??

I would like to know if those H&R are the 29176-1??
I'm looking to get my car lower but I haven't decided which one to get.

best regards,

So today i visited AKS Tuning (Alex previously from BDM) and had the following done

H&R Springs (Supplied and fitted)
THS FR3 Engine Mounts (Off my FR)
W-ALK (Off my FR)
NGK Spark Plugs
Full Alignment

Engine cover looks good. I love those intakes few friends have the, on mk5 golfs

 

[AndrewJB]

2nd hand Neuspeed P-Flo arrived today hopefully will get it fitted tomorrow

Was a baragin, Yes its probably not the best intake in the world but it was cheap and will do a better job than OEM

i plan on getting a shield made for it so protect it from engine bay

 

[AndrewJB]

Soo been down to my good friend Alex @ AKS Tuning today, i wanted the intake to be fitted properly instead of me making a hash of it!

So here's the pics

Standard Airbox (Built into Engine Cover)

Standard set up without cover

Neuspeed

Fitted

Car looking quite clean

Initial thoughts, Sound's like Darth Vader's Spanish cousin is hiding in the glove box, noticeably picks up quicker and feels like its pulling better etc


So whats next? well Alex is fitting me some Metal bushes that go onto the gearbox soon, Also getting my middle box removed for more noise and maybe some Red coilpacks

 

[Marshall]

Looking good Andrew.
My only advise would be not to remove the middle silencer as the Remus back box is shite. I fitted my downpipe and sportscat and the baffles seem to rattle in the original silencer, it did sound good on the road but I'd be a little unsure how it would be without the middle silencer.
Go buy a B.C.S system you know you want too.
