Yout motor scrubs up really well mate.

Cheers mate. Yeah it doesn't do too badly. Several imperfections which need seeing to but all in due time. Looking a lot better than how it was at the last AMD rolling road event that's for sure

 

[RDS]

Most of our cars do have small imperfections these days due to their age, I couldn't believe how bad my front bumper was when I had it off last weekend.

It did look abit unloved at AMD, its good to see it clean up and look good again

I see them as signs of being driven how it's suppose to be

Well the big bits are done so now the loving is going towards the exterior as planned. Looking to getting it up to proper standard soon starting with the wheels and working around the body work

Thanks mate. Appreciate the positive comment





Gents I think you may be right. Will look into it. Bridges if it weren't for me you would have sent yours back. As a thanks I think you should send me yours so I can test it on mine

Ahaha very true, good bit of advice from you lol!!

But ima be selfish and keep them... I was the guinea pig for you!!

Bromley Pageant

Had a great day yesterday at Bromley Pageant. Great event with a really good bunch of us there and some cracking motors to say the least. Loads of LCRs of course but then we are the top dogs out of the range

You can see all of the pics of our groups cars on this thread: Bromley Pageant 2012

Was very happy with mine. Seemed to fit in well and got some attention from people browsing around. Not bad seen as I Myles with his nuclear wheels on one side and James L 400+ beast on my other side along with the gleam machines of T0m, D.K and Readie46 to finish off the front line.

Here are some of the pics I took with mine in them:

Looks spot on mate. I like the bay, very OEM+, didn't realise you had a throttle body cover.

Cheers buddy. The cover was ordered during the week and came on Saturday. Finishes off the bay nicely

You did well with the SLR mate

Thanks mate, It's getting there. Several more bits to do. Never really paid attention to the exterior but glad I am now. Really pays off at such shows

Did they even do a red LCR?

You need to represent the red lot mate, your car would have fitted in nicely here

Oh no you didn't

Cheers bro but I'm a long way off from the standard of the LCRs there to be fair & I have a few imperfections too

You never know, you may see me at some shows this year

First Track Event - Brands Hatch

Been invited to take the car on track for the first time thanks to AmD. Naturally I couldn't refuse so now getting a few further bits done in time for the day.

The car as a whole is in great condition, recently serviced and checked so happy on that front. I decided to not take the gamble with oil temps reaching high numbers and have put together a list of parts for a oil cooler.

• OIL COOLER - 13 ROW
  
• Mocal Thermostat Sandwich Plate
  
• 1/2" BSP 90 Degree Elbow Steel Hose Fitting x 2
  
• 1/2" BSP Male Hose Pipe Fitting X 2
  
• AN -8 Stainless Steel Braided Rubber Oil Cooler Hose x 2 metres

Other bits needed:

• 059 115 721 - this is the threaded pipe which the oil filter screws onto on vehicles without the oil cooler
  
• 08A 115 441 J - gasket for the oil filter housing to the block

Here is the event flyer:

I'll be gambling

But not as much I suppose as I have the oil temp gauge. Wise move mate, good list of parts also. Interested to see how you get on.

Should be a fun old session on track
