R88 JRD Black Seat Lcr

Soo the time has come to sell the bora mainly due to the fact I dont benefit from owning a diesel and I wanted something different and fun without having to spend much

I wanted to stay vag so after lots of research and insurance quotes I found that a seat Leon cupra r was the 1 to go for

After searching ebay , autotrader ect for a couple of weeks one in Sheffield popped up, the following day I went to view it

And ended up taking it home

225bhp leon cupra r
2004
2 owners from new
113k miles
Tax and test till end of may
Part service history

Bad bits:
2x badly worn tyres (tracking)
Chip in windscreen
Paint work not the best
Wheels and brakes need refurbishment (lacquer peel)

So taking into consideration the bits needed to be done and the chance it could fail an mot and needed taxing soon

I walked away £2550 lighter

Heres the car as it was on the add

Took the car got 2x new tyres on the front got the tracking done and booked in for the mot


Very happy indeed it passed the mot with a couple of advisorys :

Chip in windscreen
Drivers Wishbone bush borderline
Exhaust hanger snapped but still supported

Very very pleased with that

After the mot I fitted my leather recaro s3 seats




Then fitted a cone filter (the bay needs some urgent tlc)

mint, nice motor that, bit of fetteling and there bludy rapid lol, what happend to the bora?

Thank you , I still have bora just need to get it it advertised

AnD yeah with the right mods you can hit 270bhp with stage 1 custom map

do it

Had my wheels and calipers painted up today

Looking mint mate !

Love Leon crupras ! there propper under rated cars !

Thank you very much I like them mostly because you dont see many around

Got some stickers for the calipers

So over the past few days ive bought a powerflex dog bone mount bush as ive heard good things about these


Also purchased a heat shield for the air filter


And fitted

Over the weekend I gave the car a good polish

Removed the rear wiper
Smaller front number plate

Ordered a front splitter too as its crying out for 1

This is mint, looking at your previous motors this is gona turn out to be a right weapon, how are u finding fuel economy compared to the diesel bora?

Mint ! looking very shiny now !!

Appreciate the comments thank you

And economy there isn't any haha I get around 110miles to £30 so around 25mpg

see I don't think I could ever have a car...

I moan and groan about 100-125 miles from £20 from motorbike lol

the bora did same around 100miles to £20

But no doubt about it motorbikes are alot more fun smiles per gallon plus economy

Just a quick update

Splitter fitted and some yellow fog bulbs

StIll need to screw the splitter on to stop the chavs taking it and screwing in to a car it doesn't belong on

Spliter looks mint mate, can I ask where you got it and how much? Cheers matey

Was of eBay matey £45 its just a standard leon cupra r splitter
Nothing too exciting but just installed a boost gauge and road angel

Got some more pictures to bore you all with haha

Fitted a leather arm rest

Paper cone filter


ANd just a random shot

It does look well mate, bit jealous, are u bringing her to pod this year?

Id like to yeah when is it ? Never been before

best weekend ever (IMO)

not really a fan of bonnet bras but ive fitted 1 untill i get a new bonnet as my currant bonnet is stone chipped to death the bra looks better than white stone chips anyway haha



the car also had some lows ,down side is i had to fit some spacers on the front to avoid the coilovers rubbing the Tyre

Fitted an audi tt strut brace and replaced some silicone hoses
