Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Did a coolant flush the other day and managed to get 3 litres of antifreeze in after draining and flushing.
Tried to find the total coolant capacity for my LCR as there is always some left in the block after draining, nearest I could find was the TT 225 which was listed as 7 litres!

Today, I took out half a litre of antifreeze just to bring it back to a 50/50 ratio, and topped up with distilled water, as I found out the total coolant capacity if 5 litres!

Bloody el, never thought I would asked for pics of me pulling out my dipstick, I think you are after another site mate LOL
Been a busy bee over the last few months, here's the list!
Ds2500 front pads and Seat OEM Discs
Badger 5 Custom remap
Mapped out cat O2 sensor
V2 badger 5 tip
Ths dogbone mount
New Thermostat
New NS outer Cv joint
R32 front arb with bushes and mountings
New NS Arb drop link
Did a Firewall trim modification and replaced it with some off a Nissan Micra, gives a slight gap to get rid of some engine bay heat, you can hear a little more engine noise but I think it has advantages.

It's a like for like swap and doesn't look any different, but with the bonnet closed it gives a 10mm gap across it's length.
Thanks it's my daily driver and don't want to go to mad with it, the handling is very good, and the chip is great, don't think I want to do much else now, probably just tidy things up a bit!
You've got a pretty similar set of mods to me there (brake pads, R32 ARB, DBM (altho mine's an ECS), B5 v2 TIP) so if it feels and behave like mine then I'd say you've got a nicely rounded daily/fast road car there. I'm the same as you, don't want to go too far cos you end up sacrificing comfort and/or practicality a bit.
Only other thing I'd suggest is a rear ARB - with the front being a bit stiffer you may find that while enjoying the extra front cornering grip that the rear feels a bit loose. I went for the Whiteline 24mm adjustable one and set it to the stiffest setting. DPM Performance do them for around £165 I think.
Did you get it dyno'd at Bills? Just out of interest.

TBH I don't like Dyno readouts, a lot of the time they are tweaked to keep the customer happy and a lot of the generic maps out there run cars out of safe specs, that's why I wanted a custom map, Bill mapped it to be linear and it gave out 260 on Bill's dyno.
In August I went to Dan Longlife Exhausts Carshalton and asked for a custom exhaust that was quieter than the Blueflame, he made one that fitted the bill exactly and more power + mpg, win win situation!
Plus changed the oil and filter yesterday went for the larger passat filter and miller 5-30 fully synth longlife 504.00.
