D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[D.K]

Finished off my washer bottle cover today

The cable tie is to hold the HID Ballast in place

And fitted

Also picked up this today

I've only used a bit but so far it seems really good, it works on tyre's, engine plastics & hoses and the interior, It bought the "B" pillars up really well

 

[Murdered LCR]

Looks loads better mate , but you should have hid the balast when you fitted the fmic ,also the rubber care is ok crap on tyres but I use it as a dash cleaner , the best tyre stuff that leaves them shiny for weeks is meguires it's a purple gel can't remember the name but it's the nuts also good for engine bits and leaves it shiny

that looks bang on daz job well done again the stuff you got i use on the plastic in side and the pipes and that in the bay and that tyre stuff that dans on about is good stuff its called megs gold class endurance tire gel and it smells nice as well

 

[Murdered LCR]

Smells like you can eat it

 

[wayne lcr]

like sweets lol

 

[EmDee]

Sure looks mighty purdy

Saw the washer bottle cover in person this evening at the London meet, the pics dont do it justice.

Actually sat in the car too (I miss my LCR) but while I was in there I kept noticing little touches I'd forgotten about (love that gearknob), anyway car looked great.

Keep up the good work Daz

 

[D.K]

Cheers mate

I meet up with Brad1 at the weekend and he left a nice big Jetex filter in my car so I thought I'd fit it to see what all the fuss was about

I've left the bottom half of the airbox in place for now as I was going to try and refit the carbon heat sheild but at the moment it wont fit, I might to try and mod it a bit

First thing I noticed was the noise, I had an open cone on my old 220 Turbo which was pretty loud but I wasnt expecting the LCR to be as loud as what it is, the DV is a lot louder and you can hear the Turbo spooling a lot more, I'll try and run some logs soon to see if the airflow has increased by much

Mate you know its all about the open cones

Be intresting to see your air flow's Daz, I'm still undeceided on the open filter V's Air box argument

I prefer the look of the airbox but I thought as I had it I'd give it a go

 

[cupra.al]

makes it sound so much better dont it. but i think that cone is a little to small for the space that it is left in when the airbox is out,so if you decide to get one larger would probally be a better idea and it will probally give even better airflow although i might be wrong.

 

[Murdered LCR]

At last you have got rid of that shite air box , get a decent feed to it and lap up the noise and see how much better it pulls

It's the one recomended for the LCR so size wise it should be Ok, If I keep it on I might get a spacer to push it into the wing a bit more.

I'm still useing the 3" feed that I had going to the airbox, I might run it down to the fog light though.

I'm also going to look at makeing a "Jabba" style heat shield, probably out of carbon fibre

 

[Murdered LCR]

That will look awesome but can I suggest you get an apexi filter 140423968650 (eBay)


as it's black and doesn't stand out as much as the blue in your black and carbon clad bay , same one as maz I have seen them for 80 quid but it's just waiting till they list it at that price or look in the forsale section now there is one for 80

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I'm running the Apexi to with good results.

 

[wayne lcr]

thats the only 1 ill swop my stand airbox for the apexi one

What's the technical reason for changing the airbox to a cone filter Daz?
