2010 car modifications, what you got planned??

[vee_dub_modder]

hope them prices are in $ not ££ looks good though?? i'll reserve judgement untill later in the year after you've fitted yours but it does look pretty good

My 12 year old thinks they're 'awesome' but what does he know, he has a Helly Hanson jacket for Christ's sake.

Sounds like a case of bad parenting that

 

[Willie]

Forgot one other mod
Forge MAP pipe.

 

[AntneeUK]

Wasn't Helly Hanson one of the girls in that band?

 

[JamJay]

You mean those silly little boys with long hair? That was just Hansen dude

 

[AntneeUK]

Ha ha, it was "Hanson", and yeah, I was suggesting that "Helly Hanson" was one of the Hanson "sisters", rather than "Helly Hansen".

I wish I could find a link to a video of Quagmire in Family Guy talking about Taylor Hanson

well to keep it on topic

i have these but yet to be fitted

1) Weitec suspention kit with all the mounts to compliment along with all the allignements
2) all interior L.e.d's ordered and awaiting delivery
3) Oil catch tank
4) EGR delete pipe & pipework (have some already )
5) Nomad twin pillar pod with boost and oil temp gauge to be fitted also have a blitz one , but cant find a matching oil temp one
6) carbon vinyl to sort the S badges out
7) Momo Gearknob & a new Gaitor
8) fit upper S3 brace i have
and a good fcuking clean , its bogging , but way too cold to attempt it

cant think what else i already got

And theres always a list of wants

have the forge quickshifter but am thinking of the side to side to match the front/back one i have on now

also need uprated brakes as OE ones are close to limits

Does anyone know the bulb type for the dipped beam on an lcr 225 as i am ordering sum HID's. MY cars in garage where it has been for over a month now so i cant check myself. I have a feeling they r h7's but im not sure. And if they are h7's can i get standard 1s or them shortened 1s.
Thanks

 

[LEE69]

H7 just get normal ones. non shortened or R.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

i bought R ones myself as it was extra £10'r but each to their own

 

[LEE69]

Standard light have the "anti-glare" already built into the headlight, no need for the R

 

[chriskarl22]

yeah i remember them having like a little cap over the end of the lights
cheers guys

I'd go for coilovers as this will allow you to set the ride height you want and sort out the passengers side higher ride height and change it to the drivers side, where it should be.

Is the passenger side higher than the drivers side? Is this just at the front, back or both?

 

[vee_dub_modder]

I'll be doing the following;

1) Hybrid ko3/4 turbo, manifold, injectors, maf etc etc (got 1/2 the parts already)
2) fit an EVC + limiter/launch control
3) Move battery to spare wheel well
4) build a new induction kit/airbox with all that extra space
5) Remove more weight and got dash Flock'd
6) 1/2 cage
7) Carbon shell buckets (already have + LUKE harness's already fitted)
8) new paint for the engine bay
9) Limited slip diff (Quaif most likely) car's only covered low miles so will use current box
10) new front bumper (poss lcr or just a modded lc item)
11) new brakes all round (4-6pots + floating discs)

I thinks thats more than enough for 2010?? it may not all happen in that order 1,2,3,4 & 7 will all happen before GTI international 2010. hoping to vastly improve last years 1/4 mile time... some of it also depends on when Redline want the car for a photoshoot as i'm still waiting to get dates.

Update...

2) fit an EVC + limiter/launch control
on the way over the next week ish (not the evc though)
3) Move battery to spare wheel well

The whole passengers side is 1/8" higher than the drivers side as these are LHD designed cars.
Mine is now 2mm higher on the drivers side compared to the passengers side to account for my weight

Snow chains aswell
