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

[Ape]

Thanks for the info bud, will look into that!

I'm still trying to source some Rotors, the cheapest I've found so far is about £245 + delivery. However, I'm currently talking to a firm that does rotors for race applications etc. They're after the following information:

internal diameter of the mounting face,
the PCD and diameter of the bell/rotor mounting bolt holes,
the thickness of the rotor mounting face and the radial width of the swept area of the rotor.

I'm a bit reluctant to measure up from worn discs etc. Does anyone have the information handy for the 330 x 28mm rotors? If not then I'll have to whip it all off and have a look

Just going to drop this here for the time being

You thinking of changing calipers too??
Have you considered the forge calipers as they also use the 330mm discs.
Im sure with the ties you have they could do you a good deal, seem to be doing unbelieveable deals for the chosen few

Not at the mo bud, was looking at keeping the same calipers. But looking for dims etc. Just found this too:

That's alright matey. It's a marmite thing, people either love it or hate. I've never worried which! The decals / stickers are there to advertise the suppliers / companies who help me keep it on the road. The design is getting changed and tweaked slightly in the coming days / weeks.

Smiles per Gallon is the only way to measure the consumption!

Update Graphics are on their way, fresh pics coming soon. Going to look at doing some brake ducting and a few other bits too.

may get to drive it a bit if this stupid weather sorts itself out. The worn Parada's aren't good in the snow! They'll be changed for some Vreds in due course as well.

Happy days Apey

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Any updates on this?

 

[Ape]

Only a minor one...

It's Sold. As of today, it's going to be cared for by Hilla

Both happy and sad it's going. Life has moved on a fair bit in the last few months. Funds are needed for something more worthwhile but I'm sure I'll be back in a project car before long. What it will be though is anyone's guess!!

 

[Hilla LCR]

Evo of course!!

I'll look after it mate, glad its staying in the family

 

[Ronin225]

Back to its old owner again, if you need a hand with anything on it mate give us a shout

 

[t0m]

Shame mate, but needs must.

I'm sure you'll be back in something tearing around the Ring' again some time soon

As of tomorrow I will be selling my LCR too mate. Doing 85 miles per day at the moment and the fuel is killing me. Can't use it as a daily driver.

Picking up a 2010 Leon FR tomorrow. It will never compare to the feel of a LCR!

A sad day but as everyone has said needs must. Let us know if we can help with anything mate.

Good luck

 

[Ape]

Cheers all, both happy and sad. Didn't realise how awesome it sounded until it drove away! I'll sure miss it

 

[Hilla LCR]

It is pretty darn awesome to be fair! Had a right laugh in it on the drive home

Hoping for nice weather tomorrow to give it some proper use.

Will we be seeing more of this LCR then?

Absolutely!

I'm about to find my old readers ride thread on here and resurrect it, and I'll put the updates in there.

For now the plan is to keep the car as it currently stands, and then add bits from there.

First upgrade will be a short shift kit, as I've always thought the car needed one
