Airtec Induction kit fitted (excuse the coolant cap being off , I broke the coolant flange underneath fitting it so I had to replace it and top the system back up)

And on the test drive the nsf coil spring decided to break...good excuse to upgrade and get a new suspension kit

Bilstein b4 sport shocks for lowering springs
Eibach sportline springs

Good price! Will fit them next weekend :)

The Airtec kit does look smart mate(and your Leon). I was thinking about getting that Bilstein / Eibach suspension combo aswell, you will have to let us know the difference should tighten the handling up.

I'd also be interested in feedback on the B4's. They were great on my 306 and 205 so would be what I would get for the Leon.

Definitely

Having a right game changing them due to the car still being on its original top mounts , got the fronts fitted will be doing the rears tomorrow

One word of advice
Remember the passenger side wiper bolt is clockwise to undo! (Sheared mine off hopefully will pick a second hand one up tomorrow or monday) lol

Airtec kit is quite loud aswell noticeably louder than my revo one on my previous cupra

@Leeoncupra That wiper motor bolt had me too when I fitted my vwr springs last year, also a grinder was my best friend for getting the front top mount bolts off.
I'm very tempted to get the suspension kit you have, now you can enjoy a few b-road blasts after xmas :).

We ended up using a blow torch on the rubbers as the originals have very little to grip onto so melting the rubber away gave us something more to grip , absolute pita maybe the biggest difference I noticed was the dampers actually working as my old ones was knackered....also discovered my osr spring was broken aswell , they're sports shocks so they are around 20/30mm shorter than standard ones to cope better with lowered springs I did compare them finally I also managed to pick up a new wiper motor for 40quid off a guy breaking a mk2 leon

Abit of a delay posting

Quick snap of my sportline lowering springs I fitted with new b4 shocks looks uneven as my driveway is on a slope

And rotiforms are now back from powder coaters unfortunately they coated the centre plates in candy red so I've left them with them to redo in sparkle silver , will get tyres soon and get them on!

Hopefully get them on soon , not saw a set of las-r on a mk2 yet so wonder if they go well

They looked alright on the wifes q3 but being in satin black they just didnt stand out enough

Your Cupra is same colour as mine looks sweet. I like black wheels but I think the think with black is you lose the detail of the wheel.

Very nice and we know red is the fastest mate ?
One little bit of advice, R/Tech have said that the airtec is one of the worse intakes for fuel trims, I read it today, should have stuck with the revo mate
