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

Very nice car.

I have never taken the plunge with a CAI due to having to remove the engine cover, but I think the TTS cover looks really good. Are you planning on removing the Audi badge?

This arrived with Alex @ AKS the other week ready for fitting


Working 16x12 hour day shifts at the moment so will be fitted at the end of them

Beautiful!

[AndrewJB]

its been in a few weeks now


Think the next thing up will be the brakes... Brembo 370mm ones that AKS have got are looking likely... just need to work out finances as im supposed to be having a new bathroom fitted 

[gobbleplease]

Pah !!!
A bathroom won't help you stop any quicker !!

Few photo's from GTI Springfest yesterday! Good think about HDR photo's they can make the swirled of cars look shiny! Haha

That looks superb mate. The decals up the side suit it well.

Unfortunately they are getting a little tired now

Thought i would do a quick update


Firstly Keith invited me to test out the new APR Switching a few days early before it was released. The mapping now contains Stock,95Ron,98Ron and 104Ron. Im running the 98Ron as always :D

Since Santa Pod the car has felt lacking, I suspect a boost leak as my boost gauge is peaking at 1.5bar and holding 1.4bar where as before it was peaking at 1.9/2.0bar and holding 1.7bar.

I haven't been able to do any logging yet, I've had a quick look over the car and all the pipework appears to be normal, I swapped the Rev D DV for a new Rev G , the car does feel a little bit more gutzy low down but it hasn't solved the issue. Had a look over the PCV system and that looks fine aswell, I will probably get the BSH kit to rule this out though.

So im hoping to get some logging done soon and to fix the issue.

Im also hoping to add the following soon:

BSH PCV Delete
Neuspeed Turbo Discharge Pipe
Exhaust (Either Scoprion or BCS)
Possibly some brakes

[AndrewJB]

Got my first MOT tomorrow so decided I better give the car a wash, its not been washed since Santa Pod about a month or so ago.

Got the Karcher out and blasted it off and then gave it the old two bucket method as always. The sun was out so decided to give it a quick polish and wax aswell which is the first time ive ever done it on this car, was feeling lazy so decided to apply the polish and wax with my Meguiars DAS-6 that I've had for about 4 years and used once.







Cant really tell on the photo's but before it was starting to become a dull yellow and very swirled, now its abit brighter, id say roughly 20% less swirled and more shiney. My plan is now to get it professionally done in the next month or so.


So plans now? Well hoping to get a BCS Sport system fitted soon to make it more vocal and some new brakes all round

Have you had this dyno'd since the last stage 1+ run?
