Evening Gents,
I'm aware you probably get questions like this from nameless newbies on the forums all the time, however since I'm no mechanic I thought I might as well give it a go and ask.
I like the look of the new Leon sports so quite fancied purchasing one. I cant get insured on a cupra or anything decent that anyone else makes (vauxhall vxr) etc etc due to age and i think the 120bhp 1.4 leon is the only thing the bloody insurance companies wont rape me for.
So my question is this, is a 1.4 leon sport even worth the effort? Ive got mates in bodywork that can lower it, tint it and spray it so thats not the problem.
Engine performance-wise though, everything on the forums seems to point to the brutal reality that anything less than a two litre petrol is crap (to mod/uprate).
Just after a few opinions from you petrol heads. Im no mechanic and cant tell a flywheel from a camshaft so I rely on others to give me a bit of insight in this area.
Thanks lads.
