So what do people think of the leon cupra r 225bhp?
Just curious as i quite like these after seeing one up close.
I would think theres quite a bit of potential in the engine also.
Seem to go quite well too.

TASTY!!! :lol:
there supposed to be animals aswell mate
watched one destroy and wrx a few week ago on the m way lol (although a wrx isnt super fast lol )
Lots of people buying them at the moment.
I was taken around a track in Loughborough as a driving experience thing by a proffessional in one... I was very impressed! :)

Tempting to be honest. Just the rpice tag ont hem at the moment.
But im sure that willd rop of over the next 12 months.
Need to start looking at future possibilitys. As the nova isnt gonna stay forever . Keeping any eye on some salvage yards at the minute to see what stuff is about.

A mate had one a while back, tis a lovely looking car. Just really really boring to drive.
Tuning is a piece of piss tho, ?500 remap see's 270bhp and simalar levels of torque!

i absolutely adore these cars, would sell me gran for one
James
stunning!
We (the wife and I) almost bought one last year after the missus crashed the MG - but the price tag (and insurance) were a tad too big.
prefer it in the Seat Yellow.
Hardly ever see them in 2 door models... (colour I like is below)

there spot on a mate of mine got rid of his civic for one and hes not looked back
they are ace. when i bought my wheels off jay gemson his dad was telling me all about his. it's as quick(quicker on a cold day) as jays old 2.0 16v gsi.

my mate owns one. nice car and quite quick. as aid easy to tune and from what i hear from a mate who into his VAGs the bottom end of these engine is goof for 400 horse before upgrading is needed. surprising since they are only 1.8s. the handle very well for a 2wd aswell as they have an elctronic LSD.
anyone the boost levels they run at?

I like them, a mate has a cupra (not R 180bhp) and is very slick, only bad point IMO is they need RWD!
got a mate who work for seat if you wanna know any more info
