SEAT Leon FR CR170

[lajohnz]

Even looked at s3 set ups to be honest, it's ine thing I'm going to stop looking for, plenty of time. Haven't had the car a year yet and there's been plenty of progress

I wouldn't bother with the s3/Cupra setup, single piston sliding caliper isn't upto much and they weigh alot.there horrenduosly snatchy and it's not backed up with any real braking power

Just my 2pence worth of course , I have read there a good upgrade over the mk5 gti 312mm standard brakes , but think most who do it go 4-pot in the end

 

[Unit9]

Very true to be fair, what are they 355mm would have to be a cheap set for me to get some. But they will still ask silly money

 

[Unit9]

finding it so hard to get a good sound clip of this, must be just iphone's are not good enough. looks like i got a number plate light out but actually isnt

[lajohnz]

Sounds meaty, meatier than my LCR lol,

You need some L.E.D's for number plate.

 

[Unit9]

Anyone know how to make the you tube video visible rather than the link.

Thanks sounds kids better in person and when it's opened up really angry, as for led's I'm not a fan. Rather the number plate as less visable as possible lol, and some times they look to bright for my liking just for plates

 

[lajohnz]

Have you tried going for a run with the parcel shelf out or the rear seats down ? Makes all the difference

 

[Unit9]

Haha funny you should say that last week took the shelf out as went to take cardboard to the tip, on the way back **** me. Sounded immense and don't think the Mrs was impressed lol. Couldn't believe it

Exhaust sounds awesome

 

[Unit9]

Exhaust sounds awesome

Thanks just so wish I could get a caption given the true sound and when it's opened up

 

[Loftus]

Wish mine sounded like that. You reckon I'd be anywhere close by getting the rear silencer removed?

Know anybody with a gopro?

 

[Unit9]

Know anybody with a gopro?

i don't and was only last week I was thinking about one

 

[Unit9]

Wish mine sounded like that. You reckon I'd be anywhere close by getting the rear silencer removed?

unsure, maybe if you have the seperate DPF and cat out the unit. Then also rear silencer, think it's down to the twin pipes too you get a nice tone

 

[Unit9]

whilst waiting for me dinner to arrive managed to finally at least get rear springs fitted today, be nice if i can get fronts done tomorrow

 

[Unit9]

what a day, managed to get time to fit the front H&R's, the top mounts are rubbish on these cars, threads exposed and rot etc, so the captive bit just spins and then you can remove them, i just cut them out and ordered new ones, also put 13mm bolts through the other way as you can see in the picture, so should come apart nice if i want them out later as the threads are now at the top.

they will still have time to settle and abit of a poor pic, im happy with them, just want rid of the arch gap etc.

pic this morning before front was fitted

Pic of them fitted all around

so we got home, Mrs parked in the street, i got the snow shovel out the garage, cleaned the drive and path' all i heard was a nasty noise, looked, she only reversed into the lamp post, didnt dare look to be honest, noticed the bumper is cracked, paint chipped, reflecter broke, just hope the diffusser etc is ok, will get her to take it to the body shop we use tomorrow

Lovely looking Motor Unit9, sorry to hear about the little mis-hap, hope it's not gonna cost too much to get it sorted, Where did you pic your spoiler up from? I've been looking for one of those .

-Thanks

 

[Unit9]

Dave at sere from here, rhymes haha also bumper is getting sorted not this Monday but next. £120 can't complain. Going to get him to do the number plate plinth gloss black too, not going to do the middle section of the lower bumper though as I like how the facelift has the wider looking bumper to the pre deeper look one.

Many thanks. It's getting there, will get proper pictures up when the bumper is sorted, as it will nearly be done exterior wise then.
