thought it was about time i put some pics up and just give you some feed back from my car so far,i got the car 8 months and traded an ep3 civic type r for it,the main reason 2 kids and a 3 door car just wasnt working even though i loved the civic it had to go.
the build quality in the leon is so much better and not having to thrash it to get anywhere is a welcome change but i soon got used to the power and wanted more so i had the car remapped a couple of months ago and what a difference it has made to the car,it made 315bhp and 324lb ft mapped and 252bhp and 244lb ft standard, but the way power is delivered now is so much better,why didnt seat sell the car like this, i cant imagine how fast a stage 2+ cupra is.
im more than happy with the power now and all i want now is sideskirts and boot spoiler and that will do for now, anyway here she is

Nice motor mate, must say i like the yellow leon's! How did you find it standard performance wise compared to your CTR? Handling, pace etc?

there wasnt much in it standard vs standard but i believe the leon was slightly quicker but my civic was more more fun on a twisty road but you have to get to 6000rpm before you go anywhere, once in the vtec zone the engine sounded awsome, but now my car has been mapped it a different ball game

Nah good to know mate, a lot of my friends have type r's and it takes a while for the cars to wind up, i would just of thought a standard leon cupra would have murdered it!
