Deej's mk1 LCR 225

[JayFR150]

How are you getting on with the stage 2 LCR ? Thinking going stage 2 myself

 

[rossi46]

Yeah really good thanks. Could really do with a rear anti roll bar so the handling can deal with the new power, and honestly I would love a new clutch and get a quaife diff fitted at the same time if I done that. Really be able to get those 300horses down then lol. What you running now?

 

[JayFR150]

Well 0 horses at the moment as I've had a big end failure. Conrods bent. It's probably down to the cheap map that was on the car when I bought it. But having all forged internals . New bearings , piston rings , hydraulic lifters . Then looking to maximise the potential of my new internals . First go stage 2 then perhaps later chase after the 400 mark .

Right after a few weeks of fighting with a public liability insurance company it has been agreed that my car will be treated to a £2.5k wet sand detail including wheel and calliper refurbs. Curtesy of KDS in GIllingham. This was after some nugget decided to spray paint a building next to my car and cover in in tiny white dots of powder coat. She's booked for 20th September and will take a week. Can't wait for the results am very excited. Maybe the best example in the country afterwards ;-)

Putting in an order this week to add to the mods:

10mm front and 15mm rear Hubcentric wheel spacers.


White line 24mm adjustable rear anti roll bar.

Forge red silicone upper boost hoses and turbo outlet hose.

Non resonated alloy turbo charge pipe.

Should have them all with me by the weekend!!

The goods arrived today apart from the arb that is out of stock for a few weeks.....

Shall be fitting this week. Stand by for before and after shots in the not to distant.

What charge pipe is that mate? Car looks incredibly clean. Makes mine look dirty!! Ha.

 

[rossi46]

It's a non resonated polished alloy from DPM performance.

Thanks mate, it's actually filthy currently as I can't be bothered before the detail next month!

Yours looks lovely too though, nice spec!

 

[L14M H]

Cheers. I'll look forward to your fitted pics and review. Ha I know that feeling. Too hot to give it a proper clean at the moment.

 

[rossi46]

Right the engine bay has been added to today.

Before......

 

[rossi46]

And I added red forge upper boost hoses to start with.

 

[rossi46]

Replaced the old charge pipe with a polished non resonated one and also a red forge turbo pipe to complete the boost hoses.

 

[rossi46]

Spool up feels quicker and so far all seems to be good after a quick test drive this evening. There is a subtle noise difference in that you can hear the spool up more which is cool. Really happy with the work today.

Tomorrow I will fit my wheel spacers!

 

[L14M H]

Looks good mate. May look at doing the same to mine. Add a bit of colour.

 

[Phoenix27]

Another awesome black LCR. I need the time (and decent weather) to give mine a proper clean... although i'm technically trying to 'polish a turd' as the paint is terrible in places... needs a respray.

Keep up the good work dude!

 

[rossi46]

Thanks mate appreciate it. Been busy again today fitting my wheel spacers. FK Hubcentric 15mm rear and 10mm front.

Before:

And after:

And the front before:

And after:

Much better stance and fills the arches nicely

 

[rossi46]

@AmDEssex cleaned the bay up an popped a long awaited sticker on.

Very tidy car buddy, some good gains on the stage 2

 

[rossi46]

Fitted my liquid leon gauge. Looks wicked now I can't wait to have a play with it!
