Well all these parts going on the car haven't been put on a leon yet.. So it's all new to me and I'm the idiot to experiment with a 24k car ha


Well you're the first idiot, so well done on your part haha. I've seen you on the FB page, I saw that lovely dent in your wing. How did that happen?

4x4... As I overtook them as they were doing 40 in a 60 on a straight road... They pulled out and smacked them.. That was 1600 for the corner... Other side just cost me 3200 to repair for just thwarting a kurb a little too hard.. Wide tyres are not recommended with no tread..

Bournemouth chap.. And well got to half the price of the car now... But least it's a decent car to work on.. Rather than my old z20let corsa.. That was a money pit...

It is much more worth making look better and play with. It's the first car I've had in years that I've done stuff to

Is on eibach lowering springs and so far the engine mods on way is forge intercooler, boost pipes, induction kit, chip box and short shifter

Where did you get the engine parts for the leon?
Is all of them made for the Leon so its just a matter of replacing/bolting them on, or do they require things to be drilled/added?
Where did you get the short shifter?

What kind of hp is your car putting out now after the modifications?

Germany.. Ask company's and company.. No item is on the website yet but use vw golf figures.. Everything I've bought has been altered or custom fitted..

After the mods I should be rolling roading 250bhp without changing main components.. But I'm looking at 6k on cost so far.. Excluding the repairs... (First mk3 to ever have steering rack changed)

In my opinion I would wait until a tuning company actually does stuff with the leon... In playing guessing games... Losing warranty each day

Out of interest what are the specs of your wheels i.e. Width, offset etc and what size tyres are fitted? Looking to get a set of aftermarket wheels but haven't a clue what's gonna fit I know my 17's are 7.5j et51 but I'm looking at staggered 8.5/9.5 18's and wondering how much room there is to play with. Oh and what coilovers are you planning to fit?

Cheers

Hi guys.. thought i would start a thread to the never ending project i have in mind...

Will seem dull and boring now as parts still waiting to come from germany but i will build a picture thread of all the progress.. have taken nearly this whole car apart so any questions on parts or tuning or wheels, suspension etc etc.. i can help..


enjoy the thread.. any opinions would be great to hear

Started here


woke up..

Crazy idea to do this..


in betweens..







clubs take over..

Are you not the same guy that was agt the extreme simulator shoot? I recognise these wheels and that exhaust.....sadly the missing the fender seems to tie in with some damage that was on that SC too?

My old wheels were 18x9.5 et 45 and they just about fit.. I have ordered KW coilovers with every adjustment you can think of ha
