Probee's GT2871R LCR

[probee]

hehe... its a little white lie about that being my slowest run above. there was this one that a friend was lucky enough to grab, the bugger



and one from inside (fastest run)

 

[buch bdm 400]

Yea was still getting wheelspin even with the racelogic best I got was 13.5 and 114 mph. Wat was your traction like

 

[probee]

I had reasonable grip, I was struggling to feed in the power smoothly without bogging down. This was the first time I had done any launches since having the Sachs clutch fitted.

It's obvious there is a good time in your car somewhere. One day it's going to come together and run an amazing time.

Hey Aaron, stupid question time...

Since the BT i bet you are getting no more than 150 miles to a tank (spirited driving) the same as the evos??

Im only on stage 1 and i get 250 to a tank and tbh i dont really hang around..sos for the boring MPG question as it doesnt really bother me too much but was just wondering for a 350bhp car and 55 litre fuel tank dont really mix lol..

Great photos Aaron! I saw a Audi RS6 with your wheels today, still the only wheels I'd ever ditch the OEM LCR ones for!

Lol, Bret this is an old mans thing, the older you get the less you worry about BHP and the more you worry about MPG

It's actually quite good, normally returning over 20 mpg and it's difficult to not plant your foot, it's too much fun.... I never fill it up though so I can't really answer the question fully.

Cheers George... I still love them too, it's a bonus that they're so rare.

hi mate cars looking awesome, your saying getting over 20 mpg what about on a run, lets say you did a 200 mile drive on motorway at 80 mph what mpg you think would get? im tempted to go big turbo as engines been rebiult and may as well use it, got k04 hybrid but want something scary. cheers

 

[Murdered LCR]

Bloody hell who cares how many miles to the gallon you get less the better cos it means your running serious power , " oh hello mr bugatti driver what's the average mpg you get " oh around 7mpg " " ah crap if it was 10mpg I would have got one "

Buy a diesel if your worried about mpg

 

[paul-murphys]

i do 400 miles a week on motorway and thinking big turbo but trying to see what sort of mpg will get, sat at 80 for 200 miles. i not bothered around town mpg but dont want to be putting sixty quid on to get 150 miles down the motorway and need to fill up again,

 

[Murdered LCR]

Turbo spools alot Later 3500k-4k so as long as ur not on boost it's not gunna drink , but who wants to drive a big turbo car off boost ? Get a cheap run around use the lcr as weekend /night time fun monster ,

 

[probee]

Hehe... I think it would be better to get a second car but it'll do 30mpg on the motorway easily.

At north Weald today for a few quarters..... Clutch went on the way here

On the track I have been getting between 3-8 MPG average
On the road I can get 42.5 MPG average
All in a stage 2 LCR
My mate with a LC and a GT28RS got 50 MPG average

**** Aaron, what clutch do you have fitted?
Was it only slipping or did it totally let go?

 

[probee]

looks like oil contamination so its slipping.. it was a Sachs organic. im so gutted. only time will tell what the problem is and how much its going to cost.

may as well throw a diff in while the box is off.

 

[George 3G]

Hey Aaron, how are you and the car? Any updates?

 

[probee]

not really, it hasnt moved from my drive. i was going to buy a diff from the states but the recent slight dip in exchage rates mean i may as well buy one from over here. im just pondering as to which bolt set to go with. i really want to get it back on the road sometime soon.

 

[paul-murphys]

was the oil contamination from the box? i got my wavetreck for about 700 delivered,

 

[Willie]

Aaron, I asked the guy who fitted my diff which bolts to go for and he was equally happy to fit the diff with either. The OEM bolts were £50 cheaper so it was a no brainer for me.
I got Stealth racing to fit mine and got the diff from PSI tuning for £700, Autotech Wavetrac

 

[h7 cya]

shame the clutch has let go mate, but it will be a whole lot better with a dif chucked in!!!! maybe a little improvement on your allready outstanding quarter times yet to come!?!?

im still none the wiser, i wont touch it until i have the diff in my hand.

thanks buddy, how much were the OEM bolts? it does seem pointless going through Issam at the minute although i would like tpp put business his way. it looks like ill be buying from an english supplier. it was your write up that made my mind up on which diff to go for.

i hope so, i think there was a 12 in it anyway. i may get the SEM and WMI sorted while the car is off the road.
