Jase's Leon! Project OEM +

[Guest BigJase88]

Goodbye skoda

Hello leon fr tdi

[redcupraboy]

Nice! Any plans. Why did you get rid of the octy? Poor fuel economy.

[Guest BigJase88]

Yup ditched the octy for the poor mpg. Was costing me £80 a week in fuel so was just getting majorly peeved off with it!

Love the leon!

Going to lower it a smidge but just so it looks subtle! Had modded 1.9tdi's in the past but the cost to hybrid them etc is astronomical so just keeping engine stock (for now)

.... (for now)

Lets see how long it lasts.

[Guest BigJase88]

Yes i know!

Already priced up hybrid turbo. And i get discount from mardigras motorsport for a clutch

I need help :(

[Damo]

Good choice of replacement

Im keeping mine stock too...for now

Enjoy it mate, looks well nice

Cheers

looks smart jase

[RobClubley]

Nice

[Titanium_Man]

nice!! ummed and arrghed over one of these for ages but opted for an 8P A3 2.0tdi Sport instead. These are fab motors I reckon

Sorry Jase but this wont stay stock for long, I've been on here too long to know otherwise!

[Guest BigJase88]

Cheers guys!

Nice owning a car thats not silver as a good polish and it looks awesome! Just gave it a quick going over with autoglym deep shine polish for dark cars, really clean for the year! Much cleaner than my octy was thats for sure. Whoever had it looked after it. No tar spots and unswirled paint! Result!

Full service is on the cards, and a clean of the intercooler pipes / egr / inlet so its all tickety boo

A nice choice Jase. Very nearly went for one of those, was a red FR+ up in your neck of the woods actually.

But thought I'd go PD140 this time, after a fair few 1.9TDi based VAGs

Enjoy it.

[MattyD]

very nice, I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about

Nice car, my mum & dads got the same car. To be fair they go well as standard.

[Guest BigJase88]

Everyone says that but omg its slooow

Mind on ive only ever had tuned up pd130's so this is waay slow. Running a tuning box on it for the time being until i talk myself into a remap / clutch / turbo

Do you like the fr+ ?

I actually prefer the cupra bumpers to the r ones?

Also prefer my alloys to the 17" cupra r reps?

Entirely imo of course

[Wardy]

When I was looking I obviously compared the two and did prefer the exterior look of the FR+.

Not a huge fan of the 17" version of the R wheel, but would have probably changed those anyway.

When I was looking it was also about getting the youngest car, and as the FR+ was a run-out model that's what came up.

Can see what you mean though

Fair point when you've been running tuned cars. Nice car anyway, & enjoy it

[Guest BigJase88]

Yeah i've had 3 pd130's

1 was 173bhp

1 was 200bhp

1 was 276bhp

So the 150 in a leon doesnt give the wow factor.

Im guessing the fr+ was on an 55 plate. Just think the fr looks more subtle rather than a diesel cupra r look. Looks wrong imo

Yep, mostly 55s and went to see an 06 as well, which was mega late as the Mk2 was out by then.

Can see where you're coming from - glad you picked the FR then

[Janno1]

Nice looking Leon fella. Nice cars. Mate had standard fab, drove mine a cppl of times and went down hybrid route.....sure after the ones you've had in the past the itch will take over. U going to make it look like a cupra r or leave it?

Sent from my GT-N7000

[Guest BigJase88]

No not going for a cupra r look.... I actually prefer the look of the cupra. The r looks a bit ott to me!

I have made a few changes recently

Pics will be out shortly when ive completed my plans. Hopefully this afternoon if all goes well today

[Wardy]

Need to change your sig and car info in your profile Jase

[Guest BigJase88]

Will do

Well im pooped!

Few subtle mods.

Kw v1's with a sensible height

Fr badge on the grille

12mm spacers front and 15mm rear

Wind deflectors

Stubby aerial

New fr knob new ibiza fr possibly?

Later spec rear wiper arm

And thats all the external mods complete.

I'll let the pics do the talking

[Wardy]

Nice work

[vRS19TD]

Nice work
