Tims Silver LCR - 272 BHP

[wayne lcr]

looks good mate ive tryed to sell up a few times just carnt do it lol.

Yeah, its a tough choice, mine was soo cheap when i got it, but i cant keep putting the mileage on it, ive done 35k in it since jan 09, and i have always wanted a new shape s3, its a case of do i sell up and get out a loan for no more power but a lush car, or keep mine?

A tough choice Tim, but the car looks rather nice; nice contrast between the white of the bay and the silver of the car. Really well finished.

Can I ask, how did you debaffle your charge pipe? Did you buy it that way or were you simply able to remove the baffle without replacing it with anything? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck with whatever decision you make buddy

James.

It sure is lol, thanks though mate, if i keep it, s3 engine cover in white and the two IC's hoses blue silicon.

People have asked why I did them white and not body colour, But want the engine bay to be a different colour scheme to the outside.

So its White on Matte Black with Blue hoses, Then the Outside is Black on Silver with the Red Callipers.

 

[James23Parkin]

That sounds like a nice colour combo for the bay.

With the debaffled charge pipe, did you replace the baffling with a metal sleave or anything, or did you leave the pipe simply with the baffling removed?

Thanks Tim.

James.

Oh yeah sorry mate, to de-baffle, simply remove the pipe, and smash the inside to pieces with a hammer and chissel, takes alot of doing, but you wont brake it, then shake it all out bit by bit, its fairly easy to crack up with force.

Make sure you clean afterwards as dont want the turbo eating metal filings up!

Thanks for that Tim! I hear that it frees things up a little, so I may give it a go. I'd read that many have inserted sleaves but if you've not replaced it with anything, then I see no reason why I would need to take it anywhere to be done.
