My Platinum Grey LCR - Another 14 laps at the 'ring

[DannyC87]

this is one of the coolest platinum cupra r s ive seen . got the look spot on . would like too see it with slight tinted windows . my sons jaw dropped when he seen the transformation .he wants me too do same too my car . you may have a twin shortly.

Thanks very much
Mild tints are on the list for the summer; along with a slight drop ~20mm on a KW spring and shock combo I think!

What did taking off your oem centre silencer do to the sound and performance of your exhaust do. Any diference in sound or performance . Always wanted too do this too my car but was in doubt whether to do it.

Performance: Bugga all difference!!
Noise: Definitely louder, especially on tickover; nice burble. Generally a bit noiser, but also a better sound. Been in a few standard LCRs since and really notice the difference between the two.

where do you get this replacement part , is it a cut out job and replace or is there a specific part too replace

67mm steel tube and then its a cut and weld job. Make sure you get the pieces of exhaust either side of the silencer in a jig before cutting the silencer out so that when you weld in the straight tube, the angles and rotation of the exhaust section do not change.

car looks fantastic mate, definitely the benchmark for platinum grey LCR's!!

wheels look great in black, the standard LCR wheels are so nice and this is an awesome way to make yours look different without changing them.

top marks!!

Don't think I saw him in time, so I might have my first points on my license through the letter box soon

On the up-side, I'm booked onto an open-pitlane trackday and Snetterton on Friday

 

[BRB]

unlucky mate , but three points are nothin really . apply for the photos they took of the car and you will get some rolling shots of your car . make a plus out of a negative . chin up. good luck on your trackday.

[DannyC87]

[Rocky Rocastle]

Latest Update: I attended my first trackday at Snetterton last friday
The car handled amazingly and out-performed a number of "superior cars"; although this could be down to the enthusiastic driving, as the car had nothing more to give

how many pictures Snetterton is a nice track,maybe one day i will try it out. Your car looking fab on pics on track! Did you overtake that dc2 uk spec one?

 

[jonjay]

Looking good mate.

thanks guys

haha.. yes, personal camera man (thankyou mhill ) got carried away!
The green integra? I don't think I came across him on track; we passed a couple of vx220s, the rs4 (one of the drivers was slower than the other), the orange 911 gt3 (older chap driving it), and the DB9 when he would get out of the way

I am quite amazed by the body roll it still has even with a 25mm rear arb on the stiffest setting, and front and rear strut braces...think it is coilover or strut and spring combo time

You will be amazed how much difference there is in body roll when fitting a 23mm front ARB, even with OEM shocks and springs
