Very impressive what you have achieved. I have a Leon Cupra 20 VT, also black. You are doing a great service in keeping our SEAT hatch, hot! We are still addressing general maintenance issues, but I really have hopes that it will soon be improved. I am a novice to the turbo world so I really am having to learn quickly, what is what. I wish I knew someone like you! You know your sh8 like most of the dudes here. Enjoy!!

Small update to add, here's a small clip of the car on a local small track just took it to see what needs upgrading next and it definitely needs a good set of coilovers the body roll is horrific lol also need to upgrade brakes so may go for LCR or just some ds2500 pads with some good discs.

Whilst I still had some money left in my bank account I thought I'd pick up some new wheels so found a decent set of team dynamics pro race 1.2 18"x8 so sounded perfect for car, here's a couple of quick pics I've took..

Will update with some clearer better pics when I change the tyres as they've got winters on ATM

Onwards and upwards remap booked at R-Tech for next month, can't wait..

Thanks for the kind feedback appreciate it, I don't know a lot but there's so much good info knocking about on these forums you could rebuild one of these cars from the ground up with the search bar lol!

I know what you mean, I am searching daily on Cupra net and have been since I got my first Leon 4 years ago. Never been gutsy enough to do more than routine maintenance but now we have the Cupra, it seems to go with the ownership. PIMP ME OUT! We saw a sweet Cupra R yesterday and we were hawk eyeing his mods, very nice kit!!! Need a lottery win, bunch of Cupra mates and then give him the makeover he deserves (& new gear box ideally!) :(

P.S

Watched your vid. It looks sweet on the track!! I think they are the sweetest cars on the road and i love seeing them about. I have had a few SEATs park next to me in car parks, and they look so neat and unique, especially together. I love the comradery with other drivers, always a thumbs up, flash of the lights and a general unity of appreciation on the road. Anyone else usually gets the bird or a slam of the horn!:)
Have a good day.
