J0N's (Jonnyjonjon's) LCR. Gone But Not Forgotten.

[J0N]

car is lookin very nice....clean.......smooth.... are the pillar pods easy 2 add and wire up?

Thanks. The pillar pods are simple to fit, just one screw. If you're after one I've got one for sale in the Accessories section. As for wiring the gauges it depends on what type you have. Mine are the Halford's Auto-Gauges, there's loads of info on here about them.

Finally got around to taking my 6 Disc Changer out.

Lovely.

I still find my glove box only holds four cd's and a pack of dash wipes, the worst glove box in any car...ever!!

 

[J0N]

It's true that you can barely fit a pair of gloves in.

good job the rest of the car more than makes up for a crap glove'i

 

[J0N]

Cheers.

Nice, where did you get the matt black trim around the stereo etc from or did you have to get it painted?
If you did paint it, was it easy to remove the trim?

 

[J0N]

Cheers, the trim around the stereo is an adapter to suit single DIN head units. I got it from Halford's because I needed it there and then but you can get them cheaper off eBay.

 

[ballachrishan]

Hi mate,
Sorry, I meant the whole trim around the stereo, ac controls etc.

Leons are normally a light colour and I want mine to look dark like all the trim around your gear lever gaitor and centre consol?

Thats the OEM dash in the LCR

 

[ballachrishan]

Thanks for letting me know, I have just called my local Seat dealer for a price and I hope to order it and get it fitted as soon as it arrives, I have the FR TDi and those trim bits are light in colour, the black looks so much better, thanks again.

Got my lovely new Forge Carbon Fibre Engine Cover. (Fitted 16.06.09)

 

[jwilkinson]

really nice clean car, engine bay looks tidy!

 

[J0N]

Cheers, needs a bit more smartening up yet though.

 

[ikhlaq206]

Really nice mod fella, I really like your car - keep it up!

Could i ask your opinion on the Custom Code remap? As recently some bad reviews have come through by people saying the turbo kick wasn't there anymore as it was just smooth??...

 

[J0N]

I personally love the Custom-Code remap, I can't compare it to the other popular re-maps because I have'nt tried them but I've been running phase 1 for about 15 months and I'm really impressed. It is a progressive power curve but does it's job when required and it's also quite happy just driving in traffic.

Forge D/V Cold Side Relocation Kit Fitted Today. (08.07.09)

Did the N249 by-pass while I was at it, we'll have to wait and see with that one though. .

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

very clean mate, looking good

 

[cap r 225]

Mmmm very nice, the blue crinkly hose looks like the one on a focus RS. I know i could just search this but what does the cold side relocation kit do?
