AndrewJB's MK2 Leon Cupra R "die gelbe Baron" APR Stage 2+ (Quaife LSD time)

[AndrewJB]

Here's my new car

2010 SEAT Leon Cupra R 265


One of the Ex-SEAT UK Press cars so its got all the options,So far its standard but have done some modifications with VCDS

I Turned on:
Digital Display
Alarm Bleep

Turned off:
Cornering Fogs
Auto Rear Wiper


Digital Display (Displays MPH)


Some pics of the car-Private plate still isnt sorted









The really shocking thing is!

Cars done 272miles on a full tank and is just showing under half the tank, it says its range is another 130miles, that's pretty good going in my opinion?

[AndrewJB]

Ive got the following parts of my FR

W-ALK
THS FR3 Engine Mounts
Forge Quickshifter and Sideshifter
42 Draft Design bushes for shifters


Which will all be fitted alone with some H&R Springs soon

The yellow one's alright too    Was eying up the bonnet lifters on the super copa yesterday  lol

I fitted the DD42 bushes (Well Alex fitted them) yesterday, make a nice difference. Did you have them on the Fr?

Alexs Sigma 6 linkage feels nicer still.

Was still around at 6 getting on half 6 Andrew but me & Sy were getting into divorce territory (with swmbo) so did risk messaging you as  we wouldve probably ended up with an AKS mini meet going on till late lol

[AndrewJB]

Yeh ive got the 42DD Bushes in my garage waiting to be fitted

I was still at APR at 11pm, Was there till 1am the other night lol

The APR social club 

[AndrewJB]

Keith and Greg are both top guys! Even had a bottle of Bud last night 

Really looking forward to getting the car lowered and then fitting my other handling mods and shifters

[DanGB]

I had a dream I bough the same car as this last night, and keith was annoyed because he hadn't finished tweaking my old car 

[Poverty]

Lol glad to see the tubing bug has bitten you again Dan! We have missed you! It was about time you give the misses her lupo back aswell   

[DanGB]

Cheers dude, its quick now! Let see your car done soon.

[AndrewJB]

I hate how the OEM Cupra R Gearbox feels, The gearstick throw is awful so i had some of my old FR TDI Parts fitted today

Forge Quick shifter
Forge Side to Side Shifter
42 Draft Design metal bushes


Car now feels how i think it should feel OEM, Feels very mechanical now

Engine cover off


Bare 2.0TFSI


Shifters+ Metal Bushes


IMHO all 6 Speed VAG owners should fit the Forge Quickshifter (about £70) and the 42DD Bushes (About £15), the side shifter IMHO is not worth the money (about £70)

[Tfsi_Mike]

Make a great difference the DD42 bushes 

[AndrewJB]

money well spent they are! superb difference

[b9rgo1234]

Great looking car Andrew 
Where can I get those 42 DD bushes?

[AndrewJB]

Awesome GTI

Beware though there's problems fitting them to the Leon's they seem to have several different shifters so you might need to modify them slightly.

I had to file mine down abit

[AndrewJB]

Had a small update done today

 

APR Stage 1, 98Ron Map

Totally different car now..No Figures as Kieth the APR owner is in USA and hes the Dyno Operator. Book figures are 320bhp and 322lb.ft but they usually make more
