I sold my 206 on the 27th July 2009, exactly 4 years (to the day) after I bought it brand new from the Dealer in Worcester.

I was hunting for a decent Evo 5 and after having one sold from under my nose (literally) I joked about buying my friends Leon. A few weeks later it was mine Shocked Got a stupidly good price on it and could easily get a couple of grand more than what I paid for it, which would make for a nice Evo 6, but it would be a bit harsh on my good friend if I made that kind of money on him Laughing

So.... Here is my new Project:

2006 SEAT Leon Cupra R 225 (BAM Engine)
Lowered 30mm rear, 20mm front on AP Coilovers
Fast Road Geometry Setup (Negative Camber all round and Corner Weighted)
Standard 18"s painted Megane R26R Red
Grooved EBC Disks and Ferodo DS2500 Premier Pads
Polished Boost Pipes and Manifold
TurboSmart Dualport Dump Valve (Recirc)
Private Plates (3/4 size front plate)
Obligitary Pole-Position Sticker on the Tailgate
Rear Wiper Conversion
Front Aero Wipers Fitted

I had to clean the Engine a bit when I first got him:
Before Gearbox Clean
 

After Clean:
 


General Clean Engine
 

 

 


Arty Car Park Shots:
 

 

 

 

 

 



Next up:
CamBelt, Waterpump, Tensioner Pulley and Pulley Damper Change
Full Service (Oil, Plugs, Filters, Grease up etc)
Brake Fluid changed for 5.1 DOT

I'm off to the Nurburgring in April for a week or so, and when I get back he'll have another Service, followed by:
3" Downpipe
Sports / Racing CAT
3" Blueflame System
Stage 2 / Custom Map.

Which should get him to the 280bhp mark, with even more torque Razz

Happy Days!

Love the wheels on it. Knew they would suit it from the photoshop.

You doing any more styling changes to it, or is all performance from here on in?

I thought about getting it done before the trip, but to be honest... I've only just started pushing it to its limits over the last couple of weeks. I only use it weekends, so learning its characteristics have taken me longer than normal. It's one hell of a jump from the Pug, lift off oversteer is still good fun, but happens at much higher speeds because it is so well planted. I would like to get used to it's standard power and with a weeks worth of solid driving I'll achieve that easily. Then I'll get the work done and go back in the summer (hopefully!) and see the difference Very Happy

I'd like to do a Red, Silver and Carbon Theme. The "S" Badges will be done in red, a carbon splitter, red engine hoses (Forge or Samco) and carbon dressy bits. But thats a long way off, I want the performance first, the tarting up is the last phase Very Happy

Oh, I almost forgot - I'll be getting a Liquid Gauge for it too, shows Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost, G Force, Fault codes etc, fits in the air vent and has full diagnostics etc. Fits neatly in the Drivers side Air Vent:
 


Cheers for the comments all, the wheels are fantastic Razz lol. A real Marmite Modification Laughing

Lol Dave.

I've just ordered myself a small Track Day HD Camcorder. Will see what it's like when it arrives before buying another one. Would like one looking through the cabin, and the other behind the front grille Very Happy

I can't remember seeing you mate, I'll be out tonight all being well (hope it stays dry for a change) so will keep an eye out Very Happy

Bit of a quick update,

Cambelt and Service is all done now (thanks again to Clarks in Kidderminster, top service, top communication, good price and generally exceptionally professional). The LCR was waxed again today (including the wheels), glass / interior done and polished. And the old corroded and crusty R badges were replaced. Also changed the black Pole-Positon Stickers to Red.

Waxed:
 

 

 

 

 


R Badges:
 


Old and New Badges together
 


Meep with Akimbo Hairdriers Cool
 


Old Badge Removed
 


Quick bit of polishing to remove old residue and crud
 


Nice and new and shiny
 


Pictures taken with my iPhail Laughing
