Fist pic off the boat



And in my usual fashion I have had it modified before I even pick it up.



So due to working a hell of alot of night shifts I haven't been able to go collect it yet, I pick it up on the 30th.

On the 2nd of july its booked in for the following:

VWR Springs


VWR Cup intake

like the look of that induction kit wonder if it would work for my 2.0 tsi??

[AndrewJB]

As far as I know its MQB only but worth a try

Congrats Andrew, new motor looks superb! 

[J400uk]

Really nice looking car! We have just bought one in at work.. so tempted...

Any more plans past the springs and intake?

[Powervalve Nige]

Very nice - good colour choice as well

After reading the gains APR have made on the 300 horse R with a Stage 1, I look forward to see how this progresses

This.

Seat have gone leaps and bounds with the interior on the newer models in my opinion. Used to be a major put off for me because they looked dated inside compared to the Golf. But now, the new Leon's look awesome and the 280 is the same price as the MK7 GTi pretty much!

are these K04 still or totally different now?

Didnt realise there was software available for these new vRS/Cupra/GTI etc yet?

Probably IHI turbo of some sort.

I'm falling more and more in love with the Seat Leon's over Golfs. This hasn't helped matters at all.

Plans are for Stage2/Stage2+ ;)
