The car is going to BCS Automotive for a new 3" stainless system soon.

I have a blueflame 3" decatted downpipe and Nige @ BCS has offered to develop a system on my car.
I'm looking forward to going for it as the Blueflame systems in the golfs (Nige used to design/build them for blueflame) I've seen and heard are awesome. The new BCS systems have great reviews over on Mk5golfgti.co.uk so I'm very excited.

I think it will be a pleasant. Change from the 2.75" miltek.

He mentioned he is lookin for someone with a CupraR to develop a centre exit system for the Leon, offering a car for development usually means a sweet deal



Car had a fair bit of work recently;

TT lower arms (same as my Cupra ones but adjustable ball joints for extra camber)
New top mounts (65k miles so why not )
Pagid blue rs4-2 pads
Jhooked 312mm rotors front
S3 rear brakes with oem pads and jhooked rotors
New cam follower (I change it every 5-10k)
Neuspeed turbo discharge pipe
New NGK irridiums heat range 8 plugs

Going for fast road setup at back draft Motorsports on Monday and having the plugs re gapped and also ate super blue racing fluid

Will update after the geo and will definitely update when I get the new system on

I ordered RS3 top mounts. When I received them the PN was the same as my Cupra ones.
I assumed the RS3 ones would be stiffer rubber but theyre identicle. Nevermind lol.
