Good morning.
My name is Lewis I am 28 and live in Caterham Surrey and after recently starting a new career I had to sell my lovely new Cmax Titanium diesel.
On Monday afternoon I picked up my mk1 Leon 1.8t 180.
After two weeks of trawling the internet and looking at all kinds of utter rubbish, I found the Leon. I paid 1400 for it.
Here's the good bits. One owner from new and a GENUINE 41,000 miles! Paper work backs all this up. Interior is in near perfect condition.
Bad bits, it's yellow, paint work is a bit s*it and faded. And the last guy put a new wing on it and it's a different shade of yellow.
Other than that the car drives spot on, and it's mighty quick for what it is. I can't wait to squeeze more out of it.
Now first things. The radio reception is really poor, can I improve this or just replace the head unit and put a new ariel box thing in it.
Now, plans are I want to tune the car and this is where I need help, I am completely new to this 1.8 unit. And being a previous vauxhall and ford guy have no idea where I need to start.
The turbo seems very vocal and chattery as it is, but I want it Louder!
I would also like gauges!
Basically it's a family daily at the moment, but when I finish my training in a year will be buying a new S max or something and this will become my fun car/track car. The paint work as I said is fairly cr*p so I'm thinking super quick yellow sleeper kinda thing.
So far I love the little car and as always boost is addictive!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share with me.
