Really getting along with this car, I'm normally changing my cars bi monthly but this just seems right. Ive had 200sx's, Supras, Mr2's, BMWs and so on, so I like to think Ive tried a lot of different cars and types of car.

Ill be honest, I've had one Seat before, a low milage, 2005 Ibiza Cupra MK4 (which did have a better interior than this) - and I vowed never to get a Seat again, I definitely didn't get along with that one.

But this leon came up for cheap, and I have always liked the look of them. I needed something quick for work and I ended getting this:

130k, FSH, in the colour and spec I wanted - and for a very good price.

Ive not owned it long, but I'm already replacing hoses that are worn in the engine bay, just had new top mounts on the front and tracked which has made the handling even better. Thankfully has decent tyres too which makes a nice change (I don't have to swap them out!)

One of the best sounding (speaker wise) cars I've had, despite it only having a kenwood headunit, I'm thinking the door speakers but have been upgraded in the past if I'm honest.

Hope you like my standard run of the mill Leon :happy: (Its also since been fully polished and waxed, with a deep interior clean to boot)

Looks good, the red does look very shiny. Which 200sx did you have? (Ex s14 owner myself)

It was an s14a, going through two sr20's in the space of 2 months put an end to that though!

Blimey! Surprised to hear that, normally very reliable, mine was taken on track, generally ragged, had a gt28rs and no issues at all.

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

Yeah, only had breathing mods too, no remap. Oh well, I'm glad to see the back of that financially crippling 2 months haha.

Thanks guys.

Just had a new n75 valve now and a new secondary air injection pipe due to being leaky.

Looks great 14 years down the road.

I still own my LCR since 2003. I bought a BMW 330 E92 coupe since, and must admit I love the lightweight and explosive Leon.
