SCN are visiting SEAT UK to see the new LCR

[EmDee]

I was talking to a guy with an E90 M3 V8 last night at the petrol station

Every time I see one it's at a petrol station too. Coincidence?

 

[Feel]

Next couple of days, we have our jobs to do in between time, and only have the evenings. Last night was dominated by the Geneva news. But we'll get something up in a few days.

Due in showrooms around May. Most UK dealerships should be supplied a demo car.

Alright. I'm only asking

See, you chose the wrong business model for the site

You should charge extortionate annual member fees, kick off about priority club parking, and idle about creating rumours and speculation about people on other club forums. I hear it works well

Then you wouldn't need a job .

Jobs, they are so the 'noughties'!

(Awaits slander case )

Jobs, they are so the 'noughties'!

Cant believe someone other than the media uses the word "noughties"

 

[ZBOYD]

Alright. I'm only asking

Good write up

makes interesting reading.

 

[Feel]

It's not the first time I've seen that, either...

 

[Syphon]

I've been stacked up recently and working late tonight. Will get my bit sorted tomorrow all being well.

Can still hear the awesome sound of the engine giving it pasty......

Same excuse as Syphon, second day in row I've left the house at 6.30 & got in at 10pm - will finish off at the airport tomorrow

i popped past VW HQ this morning on the way back from work at 7am , i figured with a empty car park it was my best chance to see the LCR in the flesh , so went round the front and it wasnt there

Round the side car park i spotted it , Kinda dumped in the middle , The green is really bright and it looks amazing , The security guard looked abit worried at to lads sitting in a car staring into the Car Park


Z get me a testdrive it looks so fun

 

[TimJK]

Yeah they park it where the technical service centre car park is.

Well i was expecting it to be at the front near the showroom


it was just kinda slammed on its own in a big carpark ,wasnt even parked in a space was between 2

 

[Donnyboy]

Was there a write-up and more pics for this? I had a look but couldn't find it.

 

[ZBOYD]

Its been delayed, due to workloads separate to SCN (otherwise known as real life getting in the way) but its almost done and will be published soon.

 

[Donnyboy]

No problem. I realize you guys have full time jobs to do too.

Just wasn't sure if I'd missed it.

Good job guys, and well written.

I noticed a few possible errors though like the comment about the shared gearbox with the Cupra and turbo boost to 2.2 Bar? Remapped cars boost to 1.5 Bar max.

 

[robdf2]

so the new Cupra R has got an uprated fuel pump?

 

[Al]

so the new Cupra R has got an uprated fuel pump?

The report doesnt say that though as far as I noticed - it says "combined with a high-pressure fuel pump injector"

All technical information supplied to us by SEAT, in a summary of highlighted information regarding the Cupra R.

Only fact mentioned that the R gearbox has been given a shorter throw, though it was mentioned that its supposed to be a bit tougher too. But its not been summarised as being uprated.

The boost figures are from the summary, without logging or gauges you can only take their word for it. Maybe in due course someone will buy one and plug in VCDS

As m0rk says, they might be publishing a 265PS figure but they are pushing out more than that.
