Hellooo,

Just got a bone stock -04 LCR and of course I wanna mod it somewhat. Not goin crazy tho as its fwd. Im thinking of getting:

- revo stg. 1
- K/N cone filter
- Forge Split R valve
- tip


Im not gonna bother with the exhaust and headers since its already 225hp stock.


Any more tips from you brits?

For the stage 1 that should be fine mate.. Might be worth looking into the suspension afterwards ? I havent got a LCR (yet lol) but believe there are a few cheap(ish) mods to make it handle a lot better!

Get some pics up

 

[turbin]

Better the suspension? I think the ride is great as is... How do you suggest the Cupra R needs a suspension upgrade? pic, yea Ill get on it...

 

[Ninja]

sorry wasnt saying the suspension was bad.. i havent experienced it.. just that im sure theres a nice cheap mod to make it better

Am sure someone with a LCR will be in soon to help me out ??

engine mounts or droplinks or something maybe ??

Thats to "in dept" for me. Sticking to the easy street. Remap, valve and some pipes... I think thats all this car needs. Everyday driver.

Get a dog bone bush - well worth the small amount of money they are.
The suspension in my opinion does need upgrading, i have the Koni FSD's with Eibach lowering springs and it is much better than the standard suspension.
Also alot of people recommend Anti Roll Bars which i will be getting next.

Yeah you cant get much better than a dog mount as they are only £20
I would also advise a goost gauge if your going with the split R as you WILL
need it to make sure you have it set right.

you could also look at the forge short shift

Just read about the dog mount here and I believe thats a stiffer engine mount and I know thats not for me. Vibration would not go well... But boost gauge with pod and perhaps oil pressure for the split R valve sounds better. Can I order that from Forge as well? Same look as the instrument cluster? White face/ red dials... Where does it measure boost from and is it a complex install?



What psi would REVO stg 1 give? 20-22psi?.

... I just know one thing leads to another upgrade on this forum

 

[richybigman]

If you're thinking of getting a remap the dog bone bush is a must for getting the traction down. The vibration is minimal and only happens on idle, if you raise the revs by only 100 rpm the vibration stops.
As far as i know forge don't do gauges. I got mine from Halfords, they are made by Autogauge and are pretty much an exact match for the standard cluster.
Don't know about stage 1 but stage 2 is 20-22 psi, although mine has spiked to 25psi a few times before.

Yeah i have gone with the auto gauge ones, they are a bit cheap looking but are a perfect match to dials. as far as the pillar is concerned i went with nomad as they are the dogs as far is looks go

 

[turbin]

did a search for autometer gauges... phantom looks like a weiner to me. dual nomad pillar... boost and oil pressure. Electrical or mechanical gauges?

 

[richybigman]

You'll want an electrical oil gauge and a mechanical boost gauge (don't think they do any other type of boost gauge).

 

[G2232]

you can get electronic boost but they are a bitch to set up

 

[turbin]

so wat Richyman says then. Cool, cant wait to get started on this. Will post some pics when im done.

 

[richybigman]

We all love pics
