That cupra would destroy your vxr I’m afraid to say 👀

Finally, a real car 😉

Its basically a mk1 audi s3 in front wheel drive. That's why it's quick lol ☺

I love the Leons . The turbo sounds great on this considering the age . The lag is prolly from the older engine with a longer exhaust manifold thats less efficient

I bought my Cupra R back in 2006 and had it for 4 years... Nothing has lived up to it since!! Loved it being such a sleeper and surprising a lot of peeps

Anytime I see these Cupra R’s the owners are always ready to race 😂 they’ve got such an aggressive front end and they’re powerful cars for their age and highly tuneable especially the FR diesels

having bought this car in the video i can tell you along with exhaust intake and pipework mods been through the mountain or paper work and reciepts found it it has a revo stage 1 map so around 255-265 bhp region according to there website drives really well for a car with soo many miles on it

Still got mine, in black, stock all around. Great car few problems with struts, gearbox etc. But for age still a trooper.

Finally been able to watch it! What another sick vid bro! 👊😍

Nice video mate, that cupra looks sick👌🏻. I didnt skip any ads to help support your channel 👊🏻

Mate I've got an r mk1, bonnet latch issue and springs went, boost pipes will need replacing, but it's a quick car and always puts a smile on my face, I've got a de baffled charge pipe and it's reduced turbo lag so worth upgrading

The concentration face when hitting the straights is present 😂 #FastAndFuriousMate .. Cracking car mate😍

Had one of these years ago. Awesome cars still miss mine 🙁

Good car, cool colour too 😉

Stumbled across this video randomly, I think this review is pretty much spot on. My LCR is more or less identical to this (even down to the carbon Seat badges) although mine is considerably lower. A friend of mine owned a Corsa VXR and I left it for dead, although he did have passengers. Another of my pals had an Astra VXR and I just edged ahead. I just found the handling to be too aggressive and not nearly as productive as you'd expect. The Astra is a weapon, no question they're bags of fun. I just think they should've been engineered to handle the power more than they can. I originally wanted an 8L S3, but after a test driving one it felt practically boring. Turned my head to an LCR and was blown away. Now into my 6th year of owning my LCR, kid on the way, life becoming seriously serious very quickly. But Leona's going nowhere.

Best seats I ever sat in was in a Mazda 323 1998, them seats HUG you, comfy as well. Second to that was my RX8 seats and then my MK4 Ibiza Cupra seats.

next big youtuber keep grinding my brudda soon be on top g

That’s a proper car pal! Seat’s a brilliant cars owned a mk2 for a year now and you are defo right about turbo lag, but find it pulls better in higher gears! Too video again mate

Drove one of these about 10 years ago and they were proper quick, then had to get back into a Clio! Can’t tell you the level of disappointment after giving the keys back.

The turbo lag is most likely something to do with that specific car , if you floor the second gear and change to 3rd the revs drop to around 4k rpm which is where the turbo is boosting straght away. I've got a BAM 260bhp and the turbo just stays on all the way.

Another sick vid 💯❤️

Same engine in the Audi TT 1.8 T 20valve you can do so much with these engines in the terms of modding them, the engine in the corsa is very week compared to this engine, not knocking your vxr, but German engineering is second to none , keep up the good videos

I own the LCR mk1 210hp, stock, bought new in 2003. Still love it. Now with 275k km on the clock, never had turbo failure or any mechanical issue. Very robust Audi S3 engine.

The cupra will have a larger turbo so will take longer to spool up. And the vxr possibly has a variable vane turbo as well as a slightly smaller turbo

It'll be a slightly bigger turbo in the cupra which is why it takes the higher revs to spool, your vxr will be quicker off the line as the turbo spools quicker in lower revs

Screen in dash is a factory option with sat nav. Standard is a single din stereo with the climate control being sat a bit higher up

The concentration is real you can see it in your face 😁👍🏽 Good vid

Good stuff, love a Seat 👌

Awesome videeos bro keep up the gd work

the concentration is bloody brilliant lad but ooh my days what a car absolute brut could u imagine the fun u would have when it snows 🤤🙊

Get u dude it’s was like watching top gear in the day cracking vid

What mods does the car hace engine wise mate? Need to tread carfeul with them as you already know, iv got a burg my self with airtec intercooler and piping, bigger injectors, turbo back exausht ect mapped by wg motorwoks thats possibly the most important thing a well known tuner

That concentration tho!

Good vid mate. Would be good to see a side by side comparison between the LCR and Wez vxr. Oh this is completely stock bar the cat back from the sound of it.

I’ve had three of those vehicles as my company car excellent vehicle So I’ve got myself a brand-new 5S5 Leon 2 L TS I and it’s the dogs bollocks in my opinion The look on your face young man when you floored it was amazing I really enjoyed looking at that car again Thanks

Looks like a fun toy and seems to have more about it than I gave it credit for. Also looks bigger inside than I thought as well

Just bought a mint MK1 20V T for silly money., the 180 bhp one, non R version. Mine not being the R and 100% stock is definitely a little sleeper of sorts. With a new back box and remap we’ll be over 200 bhp👍 Great looking car though doesn’t stand out in a crowd and reasonably cheap to buy and not R for ragged!

Great video love the leans there very nice car's you should review cars

A real car finally on the channel 😉

Got one same spec, great fun to drive.

(Seat Cupra 1.8T), (Audi A4 1.8T), (Passat 1.8T), (Audi TT 1.8T), (Audi S2 1.8T), (Golf 1.8T)....etc.. All the same engines in different cars... The power gains from these engines is on another level, when given a re-map. Highly tunable engine!!

I got a de baffled charge pipe and that improved the turbo lag

That front end looks mean. 👊 decent motors these.

try and do a review of the Cupra FR / Fabia VRS 1.9 Diesel, you'll be super surprised at how qucik they're when remapped

The way you say spool 😂 it sounds like spewl.🙈

That double din centre console is worth a small fortune, Rare as anything they are

Such a nice car i had a seat leon 1.6 in dominican republic never got to drive the cupra r version. These seat leon are like the better version of a vw golf lol

If you know the car...you know it ain’t a sleeper.. 265bhp out of these without even trying.

The sat nav is original it was an optional extra in the cupra's and cupra r's

Another brilliant vid,,, how about a suzuki review lol xx

That steady hand tho

Serious face when booting it. 😂

Still love mine after 4 years, 🤘

Niceeee, Rosie looks nice though. Y do u look so serious when u put the foot down, looks like your about to kill someone 🤣🤣

get hold of a mapped one n you will notice the turbo lag is severely reduced i drive a 260hp cupra same age if you wanna review it 🤙🏻

Had leons for last 8 yea5s now never a problem except the odd censor now and again. Even the mk1 1.6 s is a brilliant drive. Luv leons

3” turbo back decat, 008 recirc, badger5 tip with billet, jr cone filter and a stage 2 map will transform this car.

Got back from skl n this is what I see :)

Brilliant video🔥 nice driving face😂

is it worth to get a 2005 1.8 SE 20V ? or should i spend a bit more and get a cupra ? thanks :D

Once again a amazing video 👌👌

I love this car so much i hope one day geting one

I got 2017 Leon fr its fast I have had that model and Mark 2 tfsi. But I got to say I still love that style it my new Leon fr had all the technology in that model I would definitely prefer that style Leon they look so sporty and different seany 😨

Lcr are so under rated and surprise a lot of newer cars 😜

Penny flash 📸👌. I agree with you on the statement you made about on the vxr when you look at the clocks and think "shit im already doing that speed" mines same but a vectra vxr.

The radio comes with the car

good vid lad

just sold my leon loved it 👌

Nice one bro ☺👌

Is their turbo whistle on it or am i hearing different

I'm a bit late to subbing you mate but just seen this vid and it's great. I'm looking for an older hot hatch and these beauties are well within my budget. How would it compare to a current Mk7/8 fiesta st. Well out my budget but are they similar performance?

It’s not been changed it’s still doing the power

Thought I’d be upgrading when I sold mine and bought a mk3 golf 2.0 got how wrong I was 😣

There's a handle to lower the seat down at the side

My friend used have one of these stage 2 mods and map pulled really hard to the redline. He replaced it with a mk2 Leon cupra r running 320bhp at the moment his looking to take it to about 350 Bhp

Your face when you floor it 😂😂😂😂 you have more fun in this or the VXR ?

very close reg to boqer123's

How much better is the CTR?

Yes lad 😆

Hold the phone for a second I thought someone had took boqer 123's plate and out it on a different car 😂 1 letter difference

Nice video !

I think it’s the difference between a sequential and normal turbo, don’t slaughter me if I’m wrong though I’m not a mechanic😂

Looks like a focus

awesome video

Come up to Scotland and ile let you give my RS FOCUS 400 brake a spank now that's pure car.

Wish I’d of been able to pop up bro and show it some proper boost! 🤪🤪👌🏻, sounds decent enough tho and a top review from my boi!! I would of let you drive mine but you never asked hahahaa maybe 😝👌🏻 reeespect bro!!

Jesse give me a shout if your ever in Glasgow & you can try out my car mate...If your needing material for your channel! ;-) Keep up the great vids & you & a few others like Lee & BWTV's Brad have inspired me to start modding again at the ripe old age of 40 FFS! :-D

Nice

❤️❤️

Nice but I do prefer the new cupra !

I've got a Cupra R, the stuff about the turbo is crap! Mine has boost waiting as soon as you plant it. This one must have a dodgy turbo if it takes a couple seconds to boost. Absolute animals these cars!!

It’s called turbo lag mucca👍🏻

My uncle gave me one of these yesterday for my 16 birthday

Same engine in the Audi TT and s3 of the same generation. I have an s3 8l and a focus st3 2.5t

If its anything like the zafira knowing vauxhall it will set on fire soon then you'll have no heating problems

Was the heater resistor broke on you're vxr? Its common on them.

I've owned a mk1 Leon Cupra R and i can tell you straight away that an open cone filter is fitted. You can tell by the sound when the turbo spools up and then you let off the throttle. Sounds like Darth Vader is hiding in the glove box

Iv got a 300bhp Astra vxr you can review 💪

just bought one of these :D getting it tomorrow fuckin yeeeeehaaaw

Is that pennington flash?
