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

[AndrewJB]

Looks alot slower than it actually was

[AndrewJB]

Few minor updates

1. Used torque app this morning to test the G/S of the Neuspeed P-Flo and it manages 244g/s which isn't great think im going to invest in a better intake soon.

2. Picked up this


Its a Piper Cat-Back System, will be fitted in next week or so

3. Hopefully purchasing some Schroth Harnesses from TFSI Mike, They plug into the rear seat belt buckles and then into the front ones as well, can be easily unattached if you need to use rear seats... obviously these will only be used for trackdays etc dont plan to use them everyday

Got home from a 12 hour night shift, decided to unload the exhaust out of the boot and put it in the garage for now.. while i was doing it thought might aswell give the exhaust tips a polish, as you do at 6am :cartman:



OEM Remus vs Piper tips

[AndrewJB]

Exhaust is on, took a while to get it sitting correctly and had to cut up the downpipe

Original system (standard middle section with Remus backbox)


New



So what is it like? the car barks and burbles ... but isn't stupidly loud, the system itself has two small boxes on it

Awesome track.  Which layouts did they use?

I found it destroyed my tyres though, i left there with blisters on all of them every time i went there in the Fabia!!!  Out of interest, what speeds where you hitting before hitting the anchors into Deane Hairpin?

[AndrewJB]

i think about 120 was to scared to take eyes of the road tbh haha that wall wont forgive

Yeah mine was about 120-125mph tbh i think it could have had a few more mph if i could have stopped the car better.  Never got to try Rockingham with the Tarox kit, only the stock milk bottle tops.

So I've had a small chip in the windscreen for a few days, Called the insurance and they sent out Auto Windscreens to repair, Bloke turns up and repairs it but as he removes the machine the bloody windscreen decides to crack half way across it :(

£90 excess later I'm having a new windscreen on Thursday.

Quick video I did it was very wet so acceleration is nowhere near where it should be

I got to drive Irfans car the other night with the latest APR software and I was mind blown that a 2.0tfsi with a stock turbo can pull so hard and smoothly.

That car would have destroyed my old stage 2 plus Revo K1.

It's mad how back in 2010 everyone thought these engines where maxed out in the stock turbo yet APR keep finding power. Makes me want another one

[AndrewJB]

Haha i know its so mad... spinning up like hell now though with the road conditions. I might throw the RFD kit in soon which should offer a little more top end.

So local company LC Autoclean came today who are a friend of a friend.

Winter protection and hand enhancement was completed, I don't know the names of all the products he used so I'm waiting for him to do his write up then I can link to it.

Bearing in mind the only work this car has had done to it since me owning it was me giving it a quick polish with the Kestrel DAS-6 a few month ago it was looking quite sorry for itself.

Pictures:














The paintwork was a little dull before and quite swirled I would say 60% of the swirling is gone now and its got a nicer colour to it now and is very smooth after the claying.

Looks fantastic dude.    Met Luke from LC at Pod, top bloke

[AndrewJB]

Yep he looks after my next door neighbours Golf MK4, then found out he's Alex's mate
