hello everyone, i have been meaning to do one of these for a long time but never got round to doing one so hear goes
back in november i brought a mk1 LCR after selling my ep3 type r. i decided i needed a change from the ep3 because it was too loud bumpy and vtec was doing my nut in its a grate system when your out on the back roads but to get it to move you have realy got to grab it by the scruff of the neck and nail it not for me any more so i decided i had never owned a turbo car so why not get one. had a look at all sorts renault megan sports mk 2 focus st mk 1 rs and so on but then a guy at work said his mrs wanted to seel her lcr so i organised a test drive with him as soon as i had finished i put the type r up for sale i was sold with it.about 2 weeks later i picked the lcr up it came with full service history on an 05 plate with only 44 thousond miles on it between its last mots it had only done 4500 miles or so it realy wasnt used at all to top it all off he had it custom mapped aswel.
first jobs were sort out the head lights changed them for 6k HIDS and side lihts to match. i then got some mk4 golf rear led numberplate units and a forge 008. once that was all fitted i decided for xmas i need a badger 5 induction kit. this kit is spetacular its a little ore expensive than others but comes with everything thats requierd (TIP, jetex cone filter and heat shield). i fitted this at work just before xmas because i couldnt wait. it realy dose sharpen up throttel response and the noise is good althugh not as good as my ep3 induction kit. i have also brough and fitted a nomad boost gauge piller pod with auto gauge boost gauge/newspeed anti buz t pice a fabia rear wiper and now my best mod so far a full turbo back with decat/non res cobra sport system. bellow is a current spec list and things i want to do to the car when money allows thanks for looking
