wow! just sat and read this whole thread from start to finish (think my eyes have gone square!).
what an inspiration. ive owned my lcr for a couple of years now and the modding bug is starting to hit hard.
would love to see your car in the flesh some time to get a feel for whats achievable.
could you pm me the rough costs for the catch can please mate.
again, fair play to you mate, cracking motor.

cool. where abouts in bath you from?
i've been aiming for stage two by the end of the year, but coil packs blowing and brakes needing doing front and rear have set me back a bit.
already have a stage 1 revo map, neuspeed intake, forge tip, 007p uprated spring, cat back zorst. so will be after a fmic and 3'' dp and decat next.
you recomend the tx autosport for quality and ease of fitting?
cheers adam.

Yeah for the money the tx is a good kit that fits very well, also has all the correct size hoses and core so no need to reduce in size like other kits. I grew up in weston.

A little update, bought a 3" blueflame dp and decat just waiting to pick it up. got it at a great price thanks to bill at bader 5 :) thanks bill.

Also another update, its not not happening yet, probably early next year but im having my engine rebuilt with stronger internals. just paid for rods and now need to pick up everything else by next year :) im pretty excited about getting this done. once done i will crank the boost back up :p
work to be done is
Rods, OE rod bearings, OE Headbolts, OE Headgasket , timing belt kit, maybe new rings and exhaust valves. should be good :)

good work mate. i've just found a dp with sports cat and a decat section for what seems like a steal. gonna go have look this eve. i'll be counting down the hrs all day at work!
will you be fitting the dp etc yourself? havn't had a chance to crawl under the car in this weather, how will the larger bore of the new system mate up to the exhisting system?

sweet :D i wont be fitting it myself, its not a easy job. access is the problem. im not to sure how well the 3" dp and decat fits the oem cat back, probably need a reducer.
nice one sam, the beast continues to mod up ;)
thanks dude, the beast lmao

Looking great mate:thumbup: I feel your pain with the stone chips

Out of interest do you know what your ride height is? from the ground to the top of the arch.
