MK3 Leon Cupra 280 - APR Stage 2
Discussion
Long time lurker though it was about time I posted up my current "Daily". For those of you who don't know i'm admin of Leon Owners Club and have been with SEAT since around 2006.
2014 MK3 Leon Cupra 280 in Monsoon Grey, didn't really add many extras as such apart from heated seat's.
Have added the following:
APR Stage 2 ECU tune (previously ran REVO stage 1 & 2)
APR DSG tune
GFB DV+
Turbo Technics intake hose
Volkswagen Racing R600 intake
BSC Turbo back powervalve exhaust
Volkswagen Racing lowering springs
Brembo 370mm brake kit + 15mm spacers to clear brakes
Michelin SuperSport
TRC splitter
Gas bonnet struts
Vinyl'd front end, spoiler and sunstrip
A few select pictures
Car was the testing car for REVO
Car was the demo car for BCS exhaust
Have visited the ring twice with SEAT Sport
Last rolling road session it made 392bhp, using Shell V-Power Nitro+ and the 98ron map.

nice work. decent brakes as well. I imagine you have surprised a few folks
I just got a standard 290 black edition and its a cracking car I have to say. cheap to run, great daily too as I can bung all the kids in the back with a load of bags .
I might have a small fettle with it but not sure yet.

All of your cars look great. Did you have leather quilted bucket seats in your yellow mk 2? They have to be the most comfortable sports seats I ever sat in. Wish that they were available for the mk 3. I have been on the Recaro website as I need a drivers seat with infinite base adjustment. MBQ chassis has changed driving position too much for me. Spent ages trying to get comfortable in bucket seat option during 3 dealer visits and 180 miles travelling. Somehow not quite right imo.They seemed slightly offset. Told this to Seat too.

What a beautiful car, it must absolutely fly. Does it have an uprated turbo to achieve nigh on 400 bhp? Any plans for an LSD? What's the cruising economy like now, any different? I found my car exactly the same on fuel at 340 bhp compared to when it was 250.
Stock turbo, 400 is max though I would say for this turbo. I really molly coddle it by warming it up and cooling it down etc.The car will be for sale in a few weeks, I've had it 2 years time for somebody else to enjoy it.
not exactly slow then!Cars coming up for 3 years old, also needs a service so decided to do it myself as warranty runs out in a few days anyway!
popped down to TPS today to collect some goodies
Pollen filter old vs new
MOT due next month and wiper was knackered
As you can see not in the best of health
Hopefully oil will turn up later today or tomorrow so I can do the oil change as well.
