Eliganza Leon Cupra R

[Eliganza]

Hi all, finally got a chance to give the motor a quick wash so I took some pics I've had it a couple of months now and loving it, very quick car and pretty comfortable and practical too so perfect for what I want. Only a couple of little mods so far, Skoda Fabia rear wiper, fancy ali tax disc holder and an aux adaptor for the standard HU. I've bought matching tyres all round and also replaced the ropey looking R badges. Next up, Ant will be doing a paint correction for me, which should hopefully bring the paint up loads. Eventually going for a stage one remap (260ish bhp). Anyway, couple of crap iphone pics:

[Crybert]

Always loved these things. Very tuneable!

I like these and would have one, but i know it would bore the s**t out of me from what i have heard like my mk4 golf did, shame really as they are perfect in every way.

 

[Dan@SJM]

I love these.

 

[Scrooge]

Can't wait to get on this, this colour comes up a treat

 

[imprezaworks]

My dads thinking of getting one of these as he wants a good all rounder and a track go-er

 

[Dan@SJM]

Certainly does:

 

[imprezaworks]

That looks ace.

 

[Scrooge]

Shame it didn't look like that when I see it Dan haha

 

[Dan@SJM]

At home on track too...

You've got your work cut out my friend! Swirl city atm; if it looks anything like Dan's I'll be over the moon haha.

Also, looking at those pics, I may remove the Leon badge from the back and leave the Cupra R bit, looks tidy.

 

[Scrooge]

The transformation in black even in just a days work will make you grin like mad lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

Wish I hadn't broken it tbh.

Blimey, some money went on that. Bet it went well!

 

[Dan@SJM]

It owed me about 7k inc the car. Do alot of shopping about. The only things I bought new were the clutch, manifold, downpipe, and rods.

 

[imprezaworks]

Do you think 4k would buy a nice one?

 

[MarkCup]

Where did you go off at Combe?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Folley. Tried taking it flat out (130-140mph) in that rain. Didnt go well. Ended up in a very very long slide. Came back on at quarry lol. Still nothing managed to get even catch up with me despite the off

 

[Dan@SJM]

Do you think 4k would buy a nice one?

Easily. Don't let high mileage put you off. Just look for a well cared for one.

 

[Eliganza]

Mine was £4500 with 74k and FSH, £4000 should easily get you a slightly higher miler.

 

[Dan@SJM]

I paid £3200 for mine on 127k

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok cheers.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Is that a 405 Mi16 in the top pic?

LCR's are lovely btw, nearly got one back in '04 but ended up with the Z3M instead.

 

[Rubicon_]

What power was yours running Dan?

Yes it is, wanna buy it? haha.

 

[Dan@SJM]

What power was yours running Dan?

364bhp and 341lb-ft

 

[imprezaworks]

So pretty quick then

 

[Paul172sport]

Always had bit of a soft spot for an lcr especially a grey one

 

[Dan@SJM]

So pretty quick then

It wasn't shy no. Would happily pull over 165mph on GPS.

 

[Scrooge]

Nice to meet you yesterday Sam!

[Neesey]

This is why i got rid of the clio,the lcr is a much nicer place to be.Granted you can't throw it around like a clio but it dosen't knock out your fillings over every bump like my 182 did.And for the same money that i spent on an exhaust and sports cat on the clio you get a serious power upgrade.Shark and Badger5 FTW
