![Mk1 SEAT Leon Cupra R 210: Criminally Underrated? [Cheap Thrills]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ea5QhKLBX_E/mqdefault.jpg)
Always loved the MK1 Cupra. Still looks good to this day! 😍
Yeah cool shape man nice alternative to a Golf GTi
4 doors for more whores...god at my age I really shouldn't say that🤣
Here in spain are so much Seat Leon on the streets, and i hate them a litle bit hahahahha but is a nice car
@@joanadam2871lot Better than having ""so many Hyundais""on the street ....lol
🤮 Hyundai 🤢
Cool insight into Dom's tastefully modified Seat Cupra R. With a fully forged 1.8T, meth injection and Quaife diff she's no slouch! We got any other Seat owners in the house? Hope you enjoy it yo, next up GTR goodness and more Pink Escort action 🙊 Peace ML
Monkey, I dont like thought of you knocking about with meth heads 😜👊🏻👊🏻.
MONKY LONDON I’ve got a 1.8t Ibiza cupra 06, 180hp standard, has a Milltek decat / deres system with a ramair filter, they only weigh about 1200kg or something stupid from factory so she absolutely flies on acceleration, she does lack once you go over 70 ish but it’s so fun.
Used to have one of these engines in a mk2 Golf GTI. Was so much fun.
Makes me miss my Mk1 LCR seeing this.
Mine was only stage 1. 100% agree with the owner about the Quaife ATB diff. Was the best mod I did to mine along with the Sach organic race clutch and Jabbasport lightened SMF conversion
This guy seems to know his shit, what a sick car! And a great vid as always ML!!!
Yeah top chap Dom deffo knows his car well
I bought one of these new in 2002. Remapped stage 1 Revo... had it for 14 years and did 180,000 miles in it. I looked after it, and it still drove beautifully when I sold it.. just a slight gearbox whine.
I replaced it with a 2010 Cupra mk2.5.
I replaced the mk2 with a mk3 2018 Cupra 300.
The Cupras have been such great cars!
Awesome cars! Nearly bought one after my EP3, but ended up getting a DC5 integra. An old friend used to have one of these running around 265bhp, we went all over the UK in it several times and it never missed a beat! Alot of car for the money.
Sounds like many good times were had haha, and you can be mates with my mum #vtec
I don't really think a Cupra R qualifies as a sleeper lol.. nevertheless amazing car!
Own a 260BHP 20vt Leon myself so thumbs up
Just bought an octavia vrs 2002 with the auq motor. Has a full miltek system with decat intake and remapped to 230 by amd. Love these cupras but I think the octavia is more sleeper.
230 is not worthy of the word "sleeper"
@@redeyejedi17 you have no idea what the word means then do you...
I still drive my 16 yrs old LCR 210hp stock with 290k km on the clock! Bought it new back in 2003 for 17K pounds, it was a bargain. I can't get rid of it, engine's bulletproof, turbo has been faultless all this time. I bought a 330i coupe to replace it six years ago thinking the LCR would soon die, well guess which one stays in the garage from Monday to Friday. I love my LCR so so much.
As a MK2 owner, The MK1 is definitely the Best looking Leon , would love to drive a 1.8T one day
Also, the only problem with the Leon's (MK1 and 2) is boot leaks, if anyone knows how to sort the issue
I own the non R 1.8t running 200bhp and best car I’ve ever owned, Nice sleeper,👍 Prepping for a stage 2 which gives about 250, easily enough for a FWD in my hands and my driving style. Decat 3” resonated Cobra sounds epic.
If yours is the 180bhp model like mine then you should have easily made 210-215 on a stage one map
Just to add....that's crank. 1.8t came with 150/180/210/225/240 crank -10% minimum drive chain loss. Still a good engine no matter what and I like this guy talked about whp not the bigger 400+ crank he could have chatted about.
I've had two Cupra none R 180 and loved then both, enough that I brought another one and still have it with a blown ko3s atm lol. Can see on my videos, I stripped it out mapped it to stage 1+ and she lasted 10k of hard driving...when sold she was still running without any issues...was surprisingly quick against better cars from 60 to 120.
Luke Carr Hi Luke. Yep bit over 200 but that’s what I say👍 Going stage 2 is big money with FMIC, new clutch, PCV delete etc etc and add dyno day it’s a few grand.
@@andrewwright. didn't know they came with 240 I thought 225 was the highest they came from factory something else I've learned today 👍
@@gasolinescream3588 yeh its not cheap mate I agree 👍
The engine also came in audi s3 bam
Nice one man, so TT, S3, Leon Cupra R
MONKY LONDON yes bro maybe others but there deffo the ones
@@monkylondon octavia polo lupo 😉
and obviously MK4 golf gti
Al Kaholic the gti wasnt a bam engine tho
This car in Europe did come with AWD and in 1.8T , Diesel. and N/A 2.8 V6 formats.
Will be in touch soon Toby with my Lupo 20v
No worries dude
Wicked. My love has been restored as I recently got my 2005 LCR.
Yeah awesome cars need to feature more
About time someone did this with a Cupra. Proper set up🤙🏻💨
100% better than a Golf GTI of the same era! love these cars
It would be weird to see a SEAT in USA
bought mine for 4250 sold it for 4500 3 years later, they hold their value if you have a good one
Yeah that's not bad going at all Dan
I think this guy meant to say cheap ones go for 2-3k, for a good one id expect to 3-4k
@TehImpreza looks like your mate didn't know what he had lol
Mans got the sub woofer in the back, respect😎
7:54 whaaaaaaaaaat 🧐
Had both, much prefer these over the golf, only thing the golf had better was the dashboard.
You should be running NGK iridium BKR7Eix plugs with that power I am and I'm 370 and 400ftlbs was told it's wise if your over 300bhp
not exactly true, a lot still run the copper bkr7e ones, even myself at 324 and still will be when i get it back soon around 400/400
Such good memories with these Cupra R's, they're cracking cars. He's dead right about the traction control too, it can be bloody dangerous!
Barry it’s Spanish, enough said 😂
@@kendal5210 Renaults is the same tbh, must be a euro thing lol
1.21 is that a S1 106 Rallye back there!?
Certainly is sir well spotted
Bought a couple of Rs new back in the day. Had the 210 K03 and the 225 K04.
Great cars.
210 was the ko4...just not mapped the same. Amk/bam no difference just map.
@@andrewwright. there is a difference but I couldn't tell you what as I forgot
@@LukeRainbird appreciate it man 👍
I can't remember where they were sold but they did do a 4 wheel drive version of these. But it didn't come with a 20v turbo engine in it.
I think in Europe? Noticed someone post a pic of there 450hp 4wd one on Facebook
Yep. It was called the cupra 4 I think, with either 1.9 tdi 150hp or 2.8 VR6 with 204hp.
Think it was called RS and came with a boot spoiler.
2.8 4motion same as mk4 golf .limited edition europein
if i remember
@@gabibrabus nope. It had a 20vt engine in.
finally a westerner that pronounced Nan Kang properly.
You can’t get any Seat in North America,in South they are basically euro spec,soo you can say that they are Euro Only.
To be honest Cupra’s are more like an Golf R’s(ofc the 2.0tfsi)& S3’s without 4x4 (Haldex system).They share the same engines which are different then GTI’s.
A GTI engine can be found in FR Leon (different interior,suspension,more engines to choose,less sporty/stiff,look almost the same as Cupra in 2nd and 3rd gen lol).
Basically you get a FWD S3 (Powertrain wise) for less then GTI’s price (when new,the used market is almost the same).
P.S. And I forgot all the Leon’s are less lazy in handling then Golf’s no matter the engine (my personal experience,you can argue about if you feel different)
P.S.2 Oh and if somebody want to know there is a VR6 2.8 4x4 Cupra,1.8t 4x4 and a 1.9TDI 4x4 (ARL) all in 1st gen.
And oh yes they are VAG,soo they are easy to modify (few simple bits and can get close to 100hp over the stock ;)
the 4x4 Mk1 Leons are super rare, think they were only ever sold in Spain and Portugal? never got them here in UK which is a shame
socalguy829 I was thinking that UK also got them lol then my bad...Actually the whole west Europe got them I suppose (I personally saw the most of them from Germany,Italy and Switzerland)
5:09 Doggin blanket*
😂😂😂
I wonder if the 4wd system from the mk4 golf gti v6 4 motion will fit. Might be cheap. Just a thought.
Completely different frame, won't fit. You can see if you look in the boot of one, the floor is much higher on 4wd
There are 4wd leons
There was also a cupra4 which had the 4motion system in it. It does fit with the same major floorpan work that an s3/tt haldex would. Someone on seatcupra.com did convert theirs.
My friend used to have one only stage 2 set up but still pretty good
yoooo reeet lad
What a sick Cupra R. And another awesome video Toby, thanks
I've had my mk1 lcr for a year now and it still puts huge smile on my face, love it, 😋
1.8t is amazing I had it in a full stage 2 motor n turbo but trans was state 3 in my Gli pretty good but no meth just E 85
Sweet what kinda power levels was that
330 on 89 on E made 443 but the turbos blew
Love the mk1 cupra, low-key wish I had one but I got a Mk4 golf gti with the same 1.8t engine with a agu head, love ittt
My dad had one in yellow and I checked and I can finally insure these cheaply @ just 19.. so I think I'll be finding one asap... ALL SMILES!!
Got one of these but the non R version which I’m building at the moment I’ll give you a shout once it’s complete 😁👌🏻 sick video though 👊🏼
No messing on this channel, don't know how I'm only seeing you now! Subbed mate!
Cupra gang gang
Nice to finally get a Seat on the channel
@@monkylondon gotta get a karting sesh if you're up for one down sometime lad 😁
Love these motors like, so understated and under appreciated!
On Reunion Island most guys have a Tdi version of Ibiza or Leon they tune them until the black smoke sticks on the road, it's pretty horrible... they make a lot of noise a lot of smoke but only a handful are fast . Gasoline FTW!
My Leon FR 2.0 tdi ST estate is a sleeper... This black Leon is kinda what you expect to see, nothing special about it, sleeper means unexpected, and this is type of power/noise expected from this model 😄
OH MONKY. It's like you know the way to my heart. What a fucking naughty car. 😈
Haha I do try 🙏😅
Mine stage 2. 270. Lovely little cars
Been waiting for this one 👌🔥
Well sorted, under stated, bit of a sleeper hey in that standard get up. Cool! 😊
Awesome car!
Makes me wanna get my little project done!
It'll be hotter in a few days.
Yeah it's 32 today should be good to go haha
it's good to finally see some Cupra R love #cupragang
Agreed man Seat goodness was well overdue
Nice vid, always liked the cupras!
I had a mk4 golf but always wanted one of this bad boys
1m is a rapid and relatively cheap to tune. Fantastic car and nothing else looks like them. I have a stage 2+ one, it’s fun 😛
Always cool seeing from you! Peace.
Cheers Patrick!
If you get a EU spec cupra they a just a R32 pretty much with AWD and the V6 engine so the best way to get a AWD Leno is just to buy a left hooker and give it a rhd conversion....them 225/bam engines are forged from the factory as well
dave matthews they are not forged from the factory , don’t know who told you that .....
I just bought the deisel fr mk1 love it
Nice sounds amazing... It has to be the 225 bam solid all round and rapid... Heres my one in the pic still have it... Awesome cars!
That thing is savage!! Wkd vid mt as always...
Cheers Lee always had a soft spot for them, and Ibiza Cupra R as well
Nice motor ✌
The A3 1.8T is underrated too, lighter than the golf and leon but same powe
Also the dash and most of the interior is the same
Now you need to review Gen2 Mazdaspeed3 or MPS6 if you want the 4wd.
I've just bought a 79k one but just the 1.8t it pulls well ant one speckled rust 2300 I want
aye aye
should of done this to a mk1 s3 if you want more grip lol
Steve my next car hopefully, do you own one?
Forget about cornering with the first gen haldex though. I got h&r antirolls and coilovers and that's all you need on these fwd.
@@gasolinescream3588 yeah i have a 2002 face lift model 225bhp standard would love to tweek it but funds are tight lol
Should review mine, totally different animal and mines not a cupra.
He’s right about the Mk1 Cupra’s traction control, cuts all power to the engine completely
No it doesn't. Not completely. If it does check wheel sensors for faults. What happens with a working tc is very good...cuts power but not completely and brings it on nicely and smoothly but will still spin up the wheels
andrew wright Not sure if you’re talking about the R or the 180hp AUQ engine (which I had) but it does cut all power and it definitely isn’t smooth when the power comes back on, no faults neither
tis really a family hot hatch
Were you smoking in his car then??
🍁
Is this fwd or awd?
Damn same as my mk4 jetta but that thing looks sicker
Cant wait to get my old girl to 500! Tidy!!!
Dom! You know your shit. Shes a beaut.
00s underdog 👌❤️
One of the best cars ive owned. good choice to those who have had one or thinking about getting one and of course who owns one right now 👌
Soon I’m buying one😆😆😆
Am sure you can get seat’s in some parts of South America but not sure about USA
SEAT is only available in Latin America (Ibiza, Toledo and Leon are the most popular there)
Love this video
Cheers Decky more stuff coming up bud stay tuned
@@monkylondon Yes pal can not wait best Car channel period.. just quality videos with the best of people
Praise the Lowered
Lovely car 😍😍😍
Why does he look like Al Large of Doc Martin 😂🤙🏻
Better sleeper is my skoda 4x4 with 1.6i badge on the trunk. But this Cupra looks so fast.
Leon 1M looks so good for it's age
Cupra mk1 beautiful car
What valve forge you use?
007p or 008? 🙃
Valentin Oprea both wank use standard one. 1.8ts like standard sensors and shit
Go alpha n and remove the n249 and diverter valve.
Got a mk4 platform S3 floorpan available Mr Dom. If interested.
I always liked this car I wish we got em in the states 😢
Ýou've got to wait until it's 25 years old to have the right to import it in the US ;)
Oh man how do you get this awesome flutter noise what diverted valve do you have I want this on my 1.8T?❤️
Diverter *
OK first look video then ask questions recirculation valve 🙃🙃🤣🤣😂😂
Probably pulled the vac hose off the top of the DV
Stealthy and rapid...👍😎
Yeah deffo Ross you wouldn't think these are as quick as they are for sure
is it original?
COOL CAR I LIKE IT!
This is one of very few cars I just never seemed to like..
great vid as always and owner seemed cool just something about the Leon doesn’t do it for me.
Anyone recommend a race chip on 1.4 tfsi twin charged "53bhp" seems a bit suspect
Nah mate the chips don’t work at all hahaha
intro music name ?
Love a decent sleeper and this is awesome
Please make list of all mods ❤️
Nice
Why you calling it a sleeper ?, I never heard it snore once !
godaaamn
i miss my Leon
:););P
Gti alternative? You mean smoker
Can’t beat a Cupra 🥰 I have a mk3 5F Cupra 😎
Cool dude what year is that then
2018 😎 Dsg, my pride and joy!
See-it
