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

[Ronin225]

Upcoming rebuild???

 

[Ape]

Hopefully so, not sure how long I plan on keeping it off the road. The problem I have is that I save a bit of money for bits and pieces, then spend it on petrol to have a blast in it. By taking it off the road I should be able to save the cash to buy goodies First on the list is more weight saving and generally tidying up

 

[Ape]

I removed the Numbers from the side of the LCR at the weekend, had a little problem with it but it'll all be sorted ready for the LCR's last outing at Castle Combe this coming weekend. It will look like this, almost the same, just a subtle change here and there:

Liking the design Ape. Wide mouth too, Haha just gotta do it on a real car now

 

[Ape]

Aye, design will be on by the weekend. The widemouth is shown in the pic because you can't do anything else with it . I'd like one, might see what I can do with it.

Whats with the company vinyls, are you sponsored??

 

[Ape]

Sort of bud, I get good discounts in return, not proper sponsorship though (as much as I'd like it to be so I could go competitive)

People used to get good prices on performance bits by being the guinea pig car for tuners, unfortunately everything been done for the lcr now

My A3 track car is silver with red wheels it really suits the car! Nice work mate

 

[Ape]

Aye that's just the problem, although there are a few unexplored avenues by some companies I've thought about removing the graphics but they've grown on me over the last 12 months.

Silver and Red Combo is what the cool kids run

Indeed. Good ol spambots. Surprised these things are still going in this day and age

 

[Ape]

Aye I saw that.

I'm currently at the Nurburgring, will be home tomorrow evening and I'm still off for a few days so may be able to do some work with the car

Good luck with selling the car. What's the next track beast your looking at then?

 

[8bit]

Sad day, Ape. Did wonder if that was yours I saw on that group on facebook. Whoever buys it is a very lucky person indeed.

 

[Ronin225]

Sad times dude, i did see you'd put it up yesterday
Have you tghought of putting it back to standard to sell up? should make up a bit more £££'s too

 

[Ape]

I'm unsure when I'll get another toy, I love the LCR but other cars do catch my eye, such as an Evo, VX220 (turbo or s/charged). I'd love an old Challenger or Charger to restore but that's a loooong way off!

I'm unsure if the £5.2k is too much to ask for the LCR in it's current guise.

I've thought about putting it back to standard but the effort vs time vs reward doesn't seem to tally up at the moment. Putting it back to standard with the map it's got on it wouldn't be too good I don't believe, I've not got the standard shocks and springs, I've got the interior, SMIC's and Pipework and a few other gubbins.

Good luck with the sale mate

Someone will get a lovely LCR.
