performance of a chipped 225 lcr?

[fingerjabber]

hi, im gettin a new car in the near future and i've always liked the lcr (in yellow) but was put off by the performance compared to a scooby which is on my list of maybes! but i like somethin a little different like the lcr, i've been doin a little searchin on the internet and like the idea of a chipped lcr but really want to know the performance gain from a chip ie the 0-60 time, am i gonna be able to have a little fun with all but scoobys n evos? or could i be pushing these with a bhp increase of 265bhp?

cheers, andy

0-60 is not an LCR's strong point being FWD! once rolling is a different matter!

You can still have some fun STI as the like!

Well you must decide at the end of the day, but all I will say the LCR is so good to drive, grin after grin, and unlike the doo - the build quality is much better. My mate went to buy a brand new car, went to VAG showrooms, then went to Subaru. He did not spend more than 10 minutes looking, the build quality compared to VAG is crap. Just get a LCR 225 - you wont be sorry - promise!

When my LCR 210 was Revo Stage 1 I had a play with an STI on the A3. He just had the edge and was pulling away ever so slightly but it was pretty close

Now I'm Stage 2 I reckon I'd 'av im!!!

Like has been said 0-60 will not improve by much if any due to traction.

However once traction is not an issue say at 30-40mph on a dry road you'll be keeping up with scoobies no problem through the gears!

UK scoobies you should pass, import soobies are a bit more difficult though.

Why the fascination with 0-60 anyway? Isnt it a bit max powerish? About as much use as tits on a fish at determining a cars performance! A 120bhp lotus elise will do 60 in 5 secs but is not quick from 60 onwards for example!

Remapped you should annihalate a standard WRX from a rolling start. You should be there with the STI too. This is, of course on a straight road, as those Scoobs are rally cars built for the road. I raced an Evo on the motorway a few weeks back (Evo 6 or 7) and was glued to him to a silly speed. A few days later another Evo sat on my back bumper no matter how hard I pushed. Just get a Leon and get it mapped mate - get a Jabba remap. Ace car!

Nothing. I was replying to a post by someone but this post seems to have been removed. I can't be bothered going into it.

Oh, i was just wandering because the last posts were all yours. Thought you had turned schizo an were arguing with yourself

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

Hehe - I am a schizo, correct!

In short, this person quoted Mitchy's "Max Power" comment and then made a snide remark about his Nos system. It's been deleted now.

You will be slightly slower, but not alot in it.
However the scoob will eat fuel in comparison.

Someone i know recently sold his nearly new STI and got a LCR and he says its much better and loving the LCR. stock!

LOL, not got the balls to keep it up!

Someone has sour grapes

No doubt the un educated idiot i was arguing with the other night

 

[225]

I remember playing with an sti and there was nothing in it, when I was REVO'd the lcr was quicker than a std wrx in a straight line simple power/weight ration.

 

[CupraSteve]

I deleted it as i didnt couldnt be arsed to listen and argue with this NOS boyracer

 

[Mitchy]

Nos boyracer lol.

God get a grip of yourself pal!

God knows why you have contributed to this thread because you dont have an LCR and wouldnt know of its performance. Just like the nos thing

Well speaking as one who has seen the performance of your car first hand, Mitchy
...and with the NOS,


You've never run out at the wrong moment, have you?

thanks for the replys lads, like you say its not really the 0-60 that is the most important but the 30-70 n upwards it would be nice to know the 30-70 times for a chipped lcr and a sti just to compare

i live in the isle of man and dont know if you know but we dont have a national speed limit and on the mountain road (yes part of the TT course) you can easy do 120+

cheers again
