Ape's LCR225 Thread (Getting Back on the Road)

[Ape]

first post updated too

I saw your car recently (may have been up to a month ago) on hagley road had a feeling you might be on here. Looks very nice in the flesh

Cheers dude, if it was in the morning / early evening, I may have gone to work in it (always prefer taking the LCR over the company car, but I don't get the fuel money back!). If it was in the evening, I sometimes go for a bit of a tunnel blast with some mates in the City Centre normally with a blue scoob and silver M5

Cheers Ronin, much appreciated let me know when you plan on getting the braces and I'll see if I can cobble together some cash, will he give us a group buy discount?

Ordered some wind deflectors today, not really performance orientated but they've been handy when fitted to my cars in the past.

Did you get my PM Mike has 3 braces in stock @£88
I can pass on the payment details if you want

Cheers dude, I love driving it on the track and whilst I think cars should always be kept clean, I also think they should be used as well!

I've not changed any internals yet, there's no need really at the moment I don't think.

The box of tricks uses the CD Changer connection, so runs through the standard HU, although you can't control it from there, you have to select the tracks from the iPod. I've run the wiring through the dash and up out of the fusebox. The wires (charger and audio cable) pop out there to be connected to the iPod which is suckered to the windscreen.

 

[RS6]

cool thanks for the info where did you pick up the box of tricks from easy job?

I know of a second hand one that would be cheaper..

It is in my boot though, and I won't be near my car for another month or so!

After a bit of digging here, I found a Connects2 Box on eBay, and the surround / tray to replace the CD Changer from Dave @ Sere on here. Easy job to change.

IIRC you pulled up alongside of us at the traffic lights near bearwood and carried on onto the rounderbout at the top we went under onto broadstreet. Flashing would draw attention to me dont really want to do that in my mates old civic

 

[Ape]

Ah I see, fair enough! I normally remember other Leon's I see

 

[Ape]

Roger Roger Jammy Dodger!!

CB's arrived yesterday, so we fitted them today ready for the trip to the 'Ring Also had a couple of other bits to put on too

New tyres will be here on Monday, and fitted next weekend, good clean inside and out and we're ready to roll to Germany!!

 

[Murdered LCR]

How much was the cb radio kit lol

 

[Ape]

You don't get much change from £100, and it's a simple starter kit. 5 mile range a friend's had one two and we live at opposite ends of town and could still talk when we're sat on our driveways great fun!

[Ape]

Yeah I was at FCS last year, was nice to be one of the quickest out there on the circuit for a change, it was still standard then too! Will be back there this year too I hope.

I'll try and find the receipt for the glove box tray for you and let you know.
