Bigecks Red Leon Cupra R - 3" Cobra catback system now fitted

[AC]

very nice car, how does ths SFS tip compare to the forge and badger tip's? thinking of getting one but not sure which and that SFS one looks nice

Tbh mate its as near as dammit the same. The sfs tip is cheaper and comes in lots more different colours. Forge don't make a 3" version afaik.

Finally got my induction kit on with the SFS 3" tip.

Overall thoughts are the dump valves louder as is the induction and turbo spool. It seems to have gotten rid if the slight hesitation as well. The car pulls a good bit harder now so it's been a worthwhile mod IMO. It looks the part as well and all for well under £200

Well another wee update. I got my new EBC discs through, also bought pagid pads as the ds2500 pads were a bit over kill as i'll never put it on track. I forgot how big and heavy the discs are.

Last month I finally fitted the Weitec Ultra GT 50/40mm suspension after I found out the standard rear springs had snapped. Its not as low as I thought it would be but i'm kinda glad as it doesn't catch on any speed bumps.

After this the car was looking very dull especially the rear bumper which started to go pink and I decided to get it properly detailed. Having searched the net for a good company a new one popped up on SCN which was only 30 mins away from me.

This is the link to the guys work which is superb IMO

Cheers guys. The paint came up really well, especially the rear bumper as it had no shine at all. Rob really has done a great job.

The car does have a fair few stone chips at the front that's really visa me after a good polish but I don't know whether to have it painted as red is a seriously hard colour to match. You can see the differences even more at night and the last thing I need is trying to convince someone when I come to sell it that it was done for stone chips and not accident damage lol.

Rob did a stunning job on your motor mate. Makes me want to crack my rotary out and do my thing again.

Well now that the lowerings been done long with the detail I bought these last night.

Got the double bolt on type so that I can still use my original locking nuts. There 20mm wide so I hope they don't make the tyres rub on the arches. Goin to fit them today along with my shortened number plate so I'll get some before and after pics.

Got them fitted now and looks a lot better.

Very nice pics. Any rubbing with the 20mm spacers?

 

[big eck]

There's a bit of rubbing over big dips in the road or if I have more than 2 in the back.

The cars pretty low so that'll not be helping either lol.

Just out if curiosity how low is yours running?

 

[big eck]

I have the Weitec ultra -50/40mm shocks and springs. It's the lowest set up you can get without going to coilovers.

It's a bit lower now than it is in the pics now the suspensions settled a bit.
