Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Light weight LCR
Tis is how the car looked on return from the SCN National meet, after a jet wash (no brush, obviously!)
Once I got all the 'extra' stuff out of the car this is how she's running just now
It is very difficult to quantify how much faster she is now due to the extra noise making her feel alot faster. I hope to do some 'testing' soon.
She does feel faster and I'll have to change the rear ARB setting for the road as she feels a bit more tail happy due to the weight loss over the rear wheels. I hope to swap the battery into the boot ASAP to help with this and help with the required space in the engine bay. this space will be used to fit a new induction system and fit my catch can.

Heat gun and scraper on the cards next to get rid of the sound deadening. I got some good stuff for removing the left over residue
Where did Al sit on the way back up the road?

You've missed the door cards Have you got a rear strut brace on the cards?
Fair play on the Cobras. They do look VERY nice!

AAAAHH feck, forgot about him, lolHeat gun and scraper on the cards next to get rid of the sound deadening. I got some good stuff for removing the left over residue

Na the seats were only stripped out when back up the road.
Some hints and tips on getting rid of the sound deadening would be good
Yup thinking the same as you Alex, needs a cage but cost is the big thing just now. Lots of other things to spend on just now.
got my hands on a rear strutt brace at the weekend but these are too weedy for hanging harness off of just now so not planning on getting one TBH. Also the was a LCR race car there with a cage, there was NO rear strutt stiffening on it. the cage only went to the rear bench no further back. Door cards are to be gotten rid of too.You've missed the door cards

Looking good Willie you forgot to take out the rear seat belts interesting what you say about the rear strut brace in the Cupra Cup Car. i saw one at GTI international but spent most of the time looking at the engine so didn't notice if that has the rear strut.

Will be good to see how it goes when stripped out and with the new lum and remap installed
I took pictures of this so an post these if your interested in thisLooking good Willie you forgot to take out the rear seat belts
Feck ayeI will prepare Bess today loon so we can run the 2 together on the test track tonight with view to seeing the difference between them. Will be good to see how it goes when stripped out and with the new lum and remap installed
Well, ever want to know how much sound deadening there is on a LCR??
5.5Kgs to be exact or in my case there was 5.5 Kgs!!
Thats obviously not including the fire proofing mats under the carpet.
TBH I think I've removed in excess of 100Kgs from the car, it's gonna be noisey

He certainly needs to shift the wee pot he has going on
.
Aye its nae too bad
Cheeky fecker, your well on form the day, eh?He certainly needs to shift the wee pot he has going on
well she's pretty noisey but alot of fun.
Need to reduce the rear tyre pressure as she's a good bit lighter there no and feels a bit tail happy.
This will be good for tight tracks but not so good for the road.
Planning on doing some more 'testing' tonight so we'll see how that goes
