My LCR Progress Thread ** a day of detailing**

[Nev_LCR]

if you are doing more road and 2 to 3 track days a year then stick to what you have,

mine doesnt do many miles on the road so went for semi slicks, if i used the car everyday i would go for what you have, and get anouther set of wheels with semis on,

DK if you do more road stick with what you have as you could drive harder on road with those then semis.

Karl come to Lydden hill with us on the May bank holiday, you can get 15 minutes for £15.

i did quite a few sesions on open pit, my tyres bead up quite well not buggered, my brakes are cooked. im not a big fan of the 15min setions as it takes time for brakes and tyres to warm, but gives you a flavour for it, you can get an open pit day at an easy track like snetty for £130.

didn't realise you were running a magnex exhaust Nev, what do you think of it compared to the usuall milltek/blueflame choice? i might have your springs off you if there in decent nick when you get you coilovers, if i haven't sorted something myself by then

 

[Nev_LCR]

not a problem mate, ill let you know, the magnex is only the de-cat but selling it now as i will have a turbo back decat blueflame system coming soon.

 

[cap r 225]

whats your reason for the change mate? a mate of mine had a magnex exhaust on his old impreza and i thought iwas a great sounding exhaust, i think Magnex may have been bought and are trading again by the way

 

[Nev_LCR]

the magnex wont fit the BF system as its 1 pipe from turbo back, unlike the standard that splits into 2 pipes,

so just wont fit really,

ill be suprised if someone buys them out as metal is so expensive at the mo that the powerflow boys are having a hard time,

just somat i heard mate when i was asking about... reason being Deamon Tweeks have published the full range in there 2009 ctalouge

 

[Nev_LCR]

ye i saw that, think they messed up there, magnex have been gone to long now for anyone to pull it back round, i think they have tie ins with peco.........im sure that was the first mistake!!!!

i was going for a full magnex system but then found out the bad news.
