since owning the leon the pennies have been up n down with me bein made redundant again :angry:
so since march it had a forge 007p d/v followed by k+N 57i induction kit, then came the milltek cat back zaust,and a boost gauge. that was it!!
then last thursday i got some ronal wheels off a 225 audi TT nice 17s with 3 descent tyres n 1 scrap so hAd 2 avon zv5 fitted 225 45 17.
today its had a bit of a clean, havin just bought the megs 3 stage kit. st1 paint cleaner is quite good doesnt feel that abrasive but did remove the scratches round door handles etc
stg 2 the polish, dont really see what this actually did :lol:
st3 the wax went on nice and now the car feels quite silkey!! but ideally needs claying.
i havnt done nothing with the black bits, purely cuz i havnt nothing to do them with n not sure what to use, any recommendations?? bareing in mind i might C/C them so dont really wana use silicon based crap
any some pics

had a boost gauge f itted, i spikes at 12 psi and holds 9-10 psi stable, which im lead to believe is spot on, booked in at midlands vw on friday for a cambelt kit and water pump. i normally repair my cars myself but having driven french diesels for last 7-8 yrs dont fancy the job, lol
what other mods would you guys do nxt?? any opinions? or donesnt any body wana talk bout my leon!!
-
having spoke to jodey at wmvw iv got a dilema, should i get the weitec coilys or go for a remap but then theres the who to do it, they can C/C it or P torque in wombourne or the R-tech guys
-

-

-

-
couple of minor alterations,
sorted the boost gauge out, it now plumbed into inlet manifold, using the m6 hole that was already there just needed drilling out, thanks toph!! i used m6 grease nipple, removed the lip securing the spring and the tiny ball. any 1 else fancy doing this pm me! got plenty of nipples lol
the 2nd new silicone breather, the rubber 1 was propa fooked! unfortunatly the plastic end wasnt very good n nearly broke off. so temperally taped it on.
i did take couple of pics but pc doesnt wana play nice n wont let me take them off my phone
-

when she was paying cash i could have fixed it for under £600
