Brilliant write up! On my list of to do's without a shadow of a doubt.  I believe
my Cupra manual box would be the same as Edition30?  Like someone above
 mentioned its just a case of BBS or Diff 1st!





^^ As you can see, VWRacing are familiar - It's basically the same platform as you know.

Give Mark Farmer a call on 01908 210088 and he'll be happy to tell you what he can or can't do.

I need those arches!   :grin:

Think its going to have to be the wheels or the diff for now as Iv spent far too
much over the past 6months!

Where are they based? May well speak to them about diff / clutch work.

Personally I'd choose the diff before wheels without any hesitation, even on a standard car.
It's not quattro but it sure does help!

VWRacing/RacingLine are in Milton Keynes.

Tough choice! Like to add a bit of style to the leon... Hmmm

Going to speak to a guy i know with a stage 3 leon (Big turbo, rods/pistons, water/meth etc..) He has quaffe and puts it to regular use at brands hatch, will get his verdict too..

No doubt a top upgrade

....I doubt very much if they would supply without fitting but contact Mark if you want more details, he's very helpful and not a salesman.

Manual = total £1,238.16 (incl vat, incl fitting) of which £709.41 is the Quaife (incl vat).

DSG = total £1,461.41 (incl vat, incl fitting) of which £932.66 is the Quaife (incl vat).

Includes DSG oil service etc.

HTH :happy2:

....

While I'm in this thread, I'd just like to add that I continue to extremely happy with this mod and it's contribution to my handling together with the VWR-KW-V3 suspension and setup.

I recently went for a drive with a friend who's an ex VW mechanic and let him drive and he's used to performance cars and particularly loves Audi's. He made the comment that it was relatively unusual for someone to put so much into modding the handling and that most were just on a quest for more power but he now understood how it made the car so nice to drive and that when I wanted to sell the car he was seriously interested.

I know the Quaife is not a cheap mod but it does transform the FWD and in a way in which you can enjoy feeling it work without it kicking you.

Hi

Here is a cheap deal for a Quaife diff for Leon Cupra 2.0T- a must have mod for front wheel drive big power turbo cars.

Normally we would supply and fit this for £1200inc vat.

We have an exchange gearbox used for about 100 miles from our racecar.

Fitted in your car, exchange, for £750+vat.
.

Cheers Shaun.

Thought it might be of some use to somebody

Interesting that AmD's supply and fit price (assuming a Manual) is very close to VWR's.
