your 19? if your 19 and not past your test then how have u got a scooby and a quattro project on the go on top of a leon? as a fella 19 year old i am both confused and interested to know more

 

[Tommyboy91]

ermm...Apart from clean it up and Sorting all these leak's out. only mods i got in mind are

Sharkfin Aerial. . .Tidy up the Brakes . .Engine Bay detailing...Just basic stuff really and make it a clean and well presented car..Got to keep standard really as i can barely afford to pay £1700 for insurance as it is atm..Any suggestion's to suttle changes that make a differance are always welcome.

Tinted rear lights always looks good fabia wiper

Im A Idiot?? lol


loved the Quattro ever since i was knee high to a dead thing . . one came up cheapish near to Raf lossiemouth and i had to have it...ironic it was my 18th bday at the time.

Scoobydoo i got when my mate was banned ( for speeding in the impreza) ..he's got a baby on the way (Idiot i now) and needed rid quikly...Offerd him £1k, . . And it was myne

Always Loved impreza's since being glued to the Wrc when Sky T.v first came out and watching richard burn's and co in them.

Wr Quattro is going as a rally/track spec toy/pride and joy
Scooby..tidy up and make Really clean and tidy for when i rob a bank and can insure her

Seat leon...Bonnie looking car..Goood mpg...little diff than the saxo and fiesta poop. . quite nippy. .and low insurance group..plus it's really nice to drive

Ps: did i mention im a Idiot lol

 

[itfben]

fair play to u mate!

 

[Tommyboy91]

thanks buddy..Not spending vast amount's of money on any of the car's..do allthe work myself (few exception's along the way)..Do it in my own time and with what little resources i have...Would like a Lcr next..Hmmm

 

[itfben]

i would definitely recommend the fabia rear wiper and aero wipers on the front.

must do mods

standard wipers are shocking in comparision

(cheap aero ones will do £7 on eBay)
(fabia rear wiper conversion £13 brand new on eBay)
you wont look back!... prob be one of the best £20 notes you spend on your car.

 

[Tommyboy91]

oooh...ebay here we go.they just straight bolt on swap's?

got ur message mate..dont now how to reply to visitor messages.seats i got are in good nick. will spread the word around for u bud.

im from Aberdeen mate...up at Raf Lossiemouth on Raf Regiment duty..thanks for the info bud

 

[itfben]

shame i needa shift them, never mind.

im sure they will do for someone who is put there car back to standard, if i was you i would swap them out

as for the wipers being a straight swap, yes they are very easy, if you know how it can be done in less a minute.

the £7 aeros i got are great and improve the front loadz, but the one thing that bugs me is from the inside i can see the company name and as its cheap its like "Zuzso" or something rubbish, anyway better than those horrid olds ones, wipe better and quieter too on both front and back.

 

[itfben]

here, these might not even have that brand name that pisses me off:

and the rear Fabia wiper:

oops sorry its £22.30 not £13, still worth it though

 

[itfben]

i bought these ones in case you wanted to know: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAT-LEON-98-...arParts_SM&hash=item335c60a37d#ht_2690wt_1026

gearbox is known to go in the 1.4s and 1.6s.
you got all the problems i had with my leon. does your dash beep and light up all the time after its rained?

 

[Tommyboy91]

only when low on petrol. . dash is quite good i think..all light's go out...gearbox nice and smooth chnges..had new clutch in may...engine pulls fine and revs okaii..just a littly rattly i think from the knackerd spark leads

 

[Mobo]

then you need to invest in some angel eyes.
makes the car look alot nicer

 

[itfben]

I got some not for sale though, just standard lights for sale.

Thing is if you guna do angel eyes you gota do HID's to mate them worth while, then you will needa change all the led bulbs inside or get ccfl ring (circle ring lights) to put in them, the the full beams will needa be change to get the light colours to match.

worth it but im just warning you it takes time, money and effort. prob looking at £150 if you get them 2nd hand or £200 if you get them new to do the whole job properly.

 

[Tommyboy91]

Think ill be getting some of them wipers soon. Once im sure the leak is sorted.

£150 - 200 for the llight's is something i really cant afford (£1800) im getting for third party car insurance quoates!! the cheapest i found was tesco;(. will upload some better picture's today after a clean.

Thanks for the tips on the wiper's buddy

 

[itfben]

to be fair the standard leon lights are lush

wipers definately worth doing.
