Hi all,
as you presumably know I'm running a yellow fully specced Cupra'09.
It does has some mods as APR full exhaust and K&N CAI though not chipped.
What I plan is to sell my car in next half a year. And order another Seat Leon...Cupra.!
why again the same car? i'm not fully satisfied with the current one as it used to be a demo thus squeling too much, having a hatch that prevents me from sitting straight with a helmet on "due" to my height (190 cm).
So i'm going to enter the same river the second time with the following specs (and then i'll tell you abouth planned mods and ask questions):
1. speed blue color as the only interesting today (R.I.P. orange and kiwi)
2. alcantara seats for the arse to be held better in corners))
3. xenons
4. navi and parking-rain-light sensors package
5. negro wheels
Been cupraing for 1,5 years now I know better what I want from of this car both to get more at track-days (RHHCC (a thread is in motorsport section) for example) and to please my eye
Here are my planned mods and questions:
1. UK R's diffuser, rear spoiler and seat covers. As long as LCR is impossible to order in Russia I would like to make it look alike. This is the point when I need your assistance, folks, partucularly partnumbers for these things! moreover, any advice on retrofitting them is appreciated! how are diffuser and spoiler installed? glued, screwed? is it really possible to retrofit R's seat covers. I hate this color dissonance between black front bumper and silly plastic rear skirt. and add glossy seat covers to finish up the looks.
2. RNS 510. i have one now and can't imagine myself driving a stock radio car cause without a big display Leon's interior is uninspiring. i will have a 310 packeged but want to sell it and install a 510. will it function properly? has anyone around fitted a510 in a FL? will wheel's buttons work?
3. R17 lighter forged wheels cause roads we have are much worse than in any other country and riding 18's proves too much for the wallet) as i have a secret plan to visit UK next year I thougt of TD pro 1.2 to buy here. i know that everybody has them but still, do you agree one this choice? btw, these alloys would be unique if driven in Russia (no TD here at all!).
4. Full exhaust. no issues here cause I already have one. the only difference is that i want to make an R-like central exhaus which means making a custom catback but it's a piece of cake!
5. CAI. i would choose Forge twintake as it of the same diameter as the OEM one, if i have the correct info. am i right? my inention is to make the MAF sensor work correctly. and of course it has a Cupra modified edition so no mo mods necessary. is it louder than a K&N CAI??
6. Eibach sportline spring to lower the car.
7. DBA brake discs. what would you say? could anyone give the partnumbers for them? are there only front tuning rotors, what about rears?
8. Ferodo DS 2500 brake pads all around. on Ferodo site i managed to find only front pads' pn...maybe there are some substitutes to ferodo that can be applied to both cupras axes?..
9. Forge's oil cather. where will i put the can? pics welcomed!)
10. armored brake hoses. i know that R32's ones are suitable. could anyone provide a link to such stuff.
11. Forge's intercooler. or APR's one. which performs better,is easier to install?
12. A shortshifter. no matter the brand.
13. an LSD. is it costly to install? what the procedure in general?
14. polyutherane to suspension. engine and gearbox mounts. and WALK. i read the thread on this but can't find a link to it no more...
15. some smaller stuff as sound- and vibro-isolation and other interior tweaks.
i know implementation of all this is the matter of at least half a year, but i really need to prepare for it know, study all the details so that i'll be ready beforehand when time comes to business.
Cheers, mates!
Sorry for being so talkative, but i really need your help! Thanks!
