AndrewJB's Mk2 Leon FR 2.0 16V TDI "Der Rote Baron"

[Nef]

GTI International for sure thats probably it, Edition 38 clashes with Knockhill BTCC

Okay, hope to see you there.

Ah I see mate.

 

[AndrewJB]

Have a play on the 1/4 Mile

I ran against Poverty 2 years ago, His launch was alot better and he won the race of the line and over the finish line,My run against him was about a second slower but...


When the weekends results where published my best time of the weekend was 0.1 slower than his best time and he had alot better tyres on (R888's) and about 150bhp more

 

[Nef]

Yeah, I'll definitely be having a go this year. Never done it before so I'm sure it will be an experience. Hopefully I'll have stage 2 by then aswell.

Sounds like you did more than alright then mate.

 

[AndrewJB]

Compared to other TDI's i did pants really should be aiming for Mid 14's but traction is a big issue, i also suspect stage 2 Cupra's have big traction issues

 

[Nef]

Oh. Lol. Yeah I suspect of the line grip is always going to be a problem.

Car is looking great mate!
Do you recommend the EGR delete? Im not 100% sure yet.

 

[AndrewJB]

It resolved the stuttering issue for me so yes

I got rid of my stutter just by having the DPF removal?

 

[AndrewJB]

Different cars suffer different problems. Another lad has got DPF Delete and EGR Delete and his still stutters

 

[Georgel]

I found it to be the map that causes the stutter. I've had several maps from the same tuner, all with different traites. The stutter was apparent on a few of them.

 

[AndrewJB]

Which Tuner?

 

[Georgel]

Which Tuner?

Well it's not a dolphine, and its not a whale..

 

[AndrewJB]

Well it's not a dolphine, and its not a whale..

[AndrewJB]

So ive had my Southbend Stage 2 Daily Silent SMF Kit fitted (Organic Clutch and SMF)

First Impressions, The Silent SMF isnt silent at all, Its worse than the Helix kit, The Pedal was harder than OEM but... Everything felt more solid and like it wasnt going to break everytime i pulled away.I havent really been able to drive it normally recently with all the snow and ice around.

Done about 120miles on it now and the SMF is getting quieter..Sometimes when i start it now it doesnt make any noise at all, then i will pull up at lights or something and it will start again. The Pedal has got a little lighter aswell.

Spoke to The Supplier who have fitted about 15 of these kits now, Some of the cars have been silent straight away some have taken 400-500miles to go silent. So im hopeful that the kit will go silent soon.


The Stage 2 Daily kit is rated to 400lb.ft (Realistic about 420lb.ft) i cant help but wonder if i should of bought the stage 3 kit to go with my future plans
