Mashburns Flash Red LCR *Now ready for stage 2!*

[Mashburn]

Hi all.

The car is an 03 plate LCR 210 with 92000 miles on it.

I bought it almost 3 weeks ago and it was a bit untidy....covered in stone chips, splitter missing, wheels kerbed and paint peeling off. It was also in need of a good clean inside and out.

I absolutely love the car and the way it drives!!

Here she is on the day of purchase:

And here she is after some paint and a bit of TLC:

Ive just about finished modding for now i think (famous last words) apart from the dog bone mount bushes ive got to go on.

Will probably go down the remap route once i start to get bored of the car.

what would YOUR next mod be???

What a bargain!

Looks very nice mate especially for that money!

 

[Mashburn]

Thanks Adam.

It definately looks alot better now its had a bit of £££ spent on it!

 

[ikhlaq206]

Looking very nice well done!

I would get some front aero wipers, change the standard aerial to civic typeR or citroen c2 aerial, hid kit and probably an audi s3 strut brace for handling.

Then there's more costly suspension and handling mods like ARBs/coilovers etc : )

Then go down the remap route as you said.

looks very clean mate,good find,i wish my 03 yellow lcr looked as new as yours!! if i dont mind me asking where did you get the steering wheel from?it looks slightly differnt to other 225 wheels ive seen.it looks more like a ibiza wheel ive seen.

 

[Ibiza_Oz]

Mint mate looks well smart from what i can gather after much needed TLC and £££ nice !

 

[brad1]

Car looks nice mate, love the wheels too, same as mine

 

[Mashburn]

Thanks for the comments guys.

The wheel was from my local TPS and I'm pretty sure it's the lcr 225 one.

There's now another mod to add to the done list. Lets just say it was a bit of an impulse buy as I was walking past the Revo tent at Edition 38!!

Absolutely, i only wanted a red one!

And i've heard they're faster!

 

[dave-R]

yeh red cars are always faster its a fact lol

 

[Stu_pot]

Yep, well known fact.

Love it! Have you a close up of the front bumper? Really like the paint behind the fog lamps, gives it clean look.

ps i thought platinum ones were the fastest

 

[cap r 225]

looking good buddy, looks spot on for 90k odd. Sort your suspension first bud, the standard power is very usable when you can keep the car poised!

Not got a close up of the bumper mate, sorry. To be honest i'd not even noticed this! Is it not normally like that?

i read that post aswell. still get your suspension sorted though, i got an ARB on at the weekend and it's transformed the car completely!

I need to let my bank balance recover for a while first!

I dont really wanna go lower either, i'd like to keep the ride height the same.
