Car felt very good, so I'm not surprised. Have you sorted the exhaust rattle and the other issue you mentioned in Germany? (can't remember if it was DV or N75??? or something else!!)

Re: m0rk's 2003 Leon Cupra 1.8T

Not had chance to adjust the exhaust yet, but the hammer is primed & ready

DV just needed tightening up slightly, and I did that

In other news, collecting parts for some cooling modifications now, to keep the inlet temps down

Looks like you've had a fantastic trip, lucky you.

So you'll be going FMIC and phenolic spacer gasket for the intake manifold?
They come in 5mm and 10mm

 

[andyj]

and he said the Leon was going to be the sensible daily driver, and wouldn't be getting modded....

 

[m0rk]

It still is sensible, checking the first post it's had all that stuff done first. The cooling aspect is important though.

Because of the stuff that's behind the bumper for the headlamp washers an FMIC is ruled out, so I intend to run an LCR twin intercooler setup - but retaining the stock inlet manifold

 

[andyj]

Sounds interesting! Getting the pipework routed round will be interesting though, bearing in mind that the inlet manifold on the LC is on the other side to the LCR..... But I'm sure you're fully aware of that

I no your prob delete this but I have the twin set up in my garage Inc long metal pipe pm if interested ,

back drop on the pics look great , wish some thing so nice was local and in this country lol

Have you tried driving in North Scotland?

We have our very own Stelvio pass, you don't have to travel across Europe to get GREAT roads, Scotland is full of them.

It's our little secret

 

[BAGZ]

pics of your trip look great must have had an excellent time

 

[Murdered LCR]

Nope I haven't, I have been Scotland once for work years ago for a day so didn't see much , one day when the lil one is older I will venture out a bit more so this will be one of the places I will visit ,it's just knowing about them tho

200miles from where I stay up here

I might go for a run out next time I'm up here for a weekend

 

[Willie]

I'm planning a run around it this year too.

There away to resurface the road in August for 8 weeks

Graph from last weekend's RR day at JKM

Removed the numbers just to see what the thoughts are on the graph shape rather than number chasing.

I'm pleased with that, drives like it'd suggest, very smoothly

 

[LEE69]

That's a smooth graph.

Good Revo graph. Holds the torque well, runs out of puff expected. Area under curve is good.

Nothing wrong there.

*DD dynos don't mix with ME7 cars. Load sensing meets load sensing = compromise.


*Dave's theory.

Mines on next Saturday on one too, be nice to compare.
