Talking leon cupra track car [big brakes are here]

well i thought i would start a build thread for my leon cupra track car. here are some pics of the car as it stands today.






plans are to start with new wheels and tyres, new brakes and coilovers.and to fully strip it out.

Nice base car there one thing i would recommend is changin the ARBs it makes a massive improvement on how the car feels, runs the same suspension set up as the m4 golf so parts are interchangeable, I would also recommend getting your self a VAG COM cable to run some diagnostics checks and also will allow you to log everyhting that the engine is doing.

Are you going to stick with the ko3s or go big turbo with it

is there a chance of the wheel kicking a stone into the cooler and damaging it?
