Hi all. Just an introductory post. I am new to forums. I am 21 so probably younger than most here since I don't think forums are common among my age group.
I have a 2009 Leon with the 1.4 tsi twincharged engine. I love this car, it's my first car and I've learned everything I know about cars on it. I've modified it, I've driven it hard, I've took care of it and it's been the biggest part of my life since I got it over a year ago. I fully plan to make it a project car one day when I have a garage and engine swap it - even though the current engine is nice and interesting, I think I want something like a 3sge with bike carbs.
I've also installed KW V1 coilovers on it, some new headlights, a scorpion exhaust and replaced old parts like the brakes, calipers, the wheel bearings, the ABS module that completely died on me on the day of my driving test. I have a set of forged te37 rep wheels on the way from Alibaba which I have seen surprisingly good things about recently.
Anyway I hope to document and share useful knowledge about the MK2 Leon. I don't think it is some kind of hidden gem, I've seen some people love these but it's definitely not as popular as a golf even though it has so much more style.
