My Leon Cupra

[kipper71]

Here is my Leon , owned for nearly 2 years and carried out a few mods , had a Jabbasport re-map and full sports exhaust system fitted shortly after buying it , then had the brakes and suspension done - Eibach coilovers and Pagid uprated discs and pads . Last year I had the Forge FMIC and turbo inlet pipe fitted , just got to get another custom re-map to best out of the rest of the mods.

Hi Neil - like the motor a lot .

Two questions - what's the current output and what is a 'setter operator' ?

PS - Welcome!

Cheers , not really sure on bhp , probably 220-230 .
A setter op. is just a glorified machine operator !!

Is that from a 180bhp starting point ? Like the black wheels BTW - they go well with the metallic grey. (I used to have a scoob with gold wheels - happy days !)

[kipper71]

yeah, 180 to start with, took the wife and I months to find a set of wheels we both liked. Unfortunately one fell over last year at the trackday and chipped the paint , so will have to have a refurbish later this year.

Good looking motor fella, almost went and brought a 225 myself ( in yellow tho ofcourse )

Nice car, makes me smile with fond memories of the one I used to own. Does the extra bhp really makes it's presence felt? A friend had a 225bhp Audi TT which didn't feel that much quicker than my 180bhp, for that reason I never felt I could justify the 500 odd quid to chip it.

Might be because the TT loses more hp through the AWD system.

TallTony , the car did feel quicker after the remap , but felt a lot quicker after fitting the fmic and tip .

welcome to PH
the leon is looking ood, have you got any more mods planned for it?

[kipper71]

Not to sure wether to go down the big turbo route , thats the only major thing left engine wise . Hopefully getting some eibach anti roll bars fitted this summer along with a tt front strut brace and a custom rear strut brace . Brake wise , ok at the moment but with more power would definatly need upgrading !!
