Leon Cupra R

[Rhyso]

It's all about the mid-range punch with the KO4 

Big BHP numbers are just willy-waving pub talk

Oh yea, night and day power wise! Much prefer the old leon to the old S3!

Do you really mate? I drove my mates S3 same shape as yours and loved it. I much prefer the look of the old Cupra R compared to the new one. Seen a few LCR's with sub 30k mileage so thats what ill be looking for. Insurance is soooo bloody exspensive in London compared to Kent prices theres a £1000 difference between addresses

Tell me about it. My R32 in finsbury park was silly!! The S3 isnt much better 

Old Leon is the best looking hatch of that age (ctr, mk4 gti etc etc)

New hatches i obviously think mine looks best 

Not a fan of the new cupra, though i do like the K1!

Im in a 150bhp vectra at the mo so will be a rocket compared to that although they aint slow for what they are.

Vectra GSI is 192bhp

Most of the ones I have seen on the rollers make factory power or more, around 197bhp is the norm.

I was being facetious, they are not that old

I sold that ages ago mate just havent updated my sig. Got a 2.2 SRI although it seems quicker than the GSI

Jules are you sure the second dyno (the stage 2 car) has a remap and not just hardware mods? It's only making 24hp over standard, that's not proper stage 2 gains to be honest. 

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be stage 2 hardware without a map.

But yeah, the quoted 270hp from a remap and an air intake is a bit ambitious.

[JulesS3]

Doesnt specify.

I know i have yet to come across a 'fast' cupra that has not had major work done but claimed big power.
