[Phil K]

Thank you

which one is it G60, VR6 or 16V?

If I had a few more quid available I'd love to buy it, and all time classic, and another one of the cars I've never owned that I should have done. Beautiful condition too.

 

[Phil K]

It's a 16V but will have about 170bhp after the cams and injection are sorted - was completely re-built a year ago and has a brand new bottom end so it's pretty much bombproof.. next on the mod list was a turbo but I think I'll be selling before it gets that far!

It really is the perfect car for someone that wants a tuned 16V turbo or fancies a full engine swap - if they can live with them selves by getting rid what is essentially a new engine!

Well since the Corrado left I've picked up this little beauty... it's a 1992 Golf Rivage - 1 of only 50 made with pearl green paint and cream leather!

This was taken yesterday after I got back from sorting out the MOT and the front end face lift - really chuffed with the results!

And this is it with my 'show' wheels on - just waiting for the next excuse to get them back on and have some fun!

Promise to get some pics of the LCR tomorrow and get some Seat contecnt back in this thread

 

[Phil K]

Well it's been a while so I thought I should update a little...

The LCR's been with me for nearly 2 years and not a huge amount has changed due to working on the house and getting married...

So here's what I have done:

HID's fitted and lighting up the world a treat!
EBC groved discs up front along with DS2500's and Motul RBF600 Fluid - stops a treat!
Fabia rear wiper
Lost the Leon badge from the rear

and today I've added my new reg plates

Really pleased with the way it's going now since we sold the Golf on and the wife has a daily that doesn't tempt me too much to spend money on it before my own!

It's about to have it's 3rd birthday and it's first MOT will be due in a week - fingers crossed but it should be fine!

Remap, Forge DV amd uprated airfilter are due in the new year...

Reduced width front plate works well IMO

Will update with better pics tomorrow!

 

[jonjay]

Looking good Phil!

 

[DOLBY]

nice car mate, well tidy...love the plate too

 

[Phil K]

cheers for the comments guys! Gave it a wash yesterday and grabbed a couple of better pics

Beutiful looking platinum cupraR.

Get it detailed and then watch the heads turn

If I had the funds I would snap up a platinum lcr anyday.
