- Thread starter Ronin225
- Start date
it's gonna be insane and I shotgun first ride Had a busy week this week
Had a trip with Barn straight from work to pick up the new purchase and it was a bit further away than i thought, so at 10.30 we arrived to get this
Then followed by an even slower trip how home.
Left at 6pm and eventually got home and to bed about 5am then up for work at 7am
Then yesterday had a few other leon owners over to check it out
So after a nice lie in today i opened the curtains to see this, all ready to get cracking on
Have to say the interior is very heavy but very comfy

Great stuff, whats the plan then ? Break it for spares and keep the bits you need for 4wd the LCR.
So today work started on getting all the bits i want from it
So about 12ish i got started today and we put barns battery on just to check everything works and it did yay
At the end of the day this id how the S3 stands
I will crack on again with it tomorrow and try and push on
I can see when taking this apart how Audi charge that bit extra, mostly the same as other things in the group but just that extra bit of finishing and extra covers etc
I keep finding small boxes here and there and having to search the part number on the web to find out what it is.
The LCR should have definitely came with the Bose stereo too, it looks pretty good
Also since it is against the rules to sell on here please dont start posting in here asking about parts since i dont want my thread deleted, just look out on a well known auction site soon
I'll update again tomorrow with the results

In a word, yep
Hopefully make enough to get my bits i want for free as i got it at a steal
No, S3 is a donor car so LCR is staying and going BT with the S3's 4WD haldex
Just easier and cheaper to buy the whole car and take what i want and sell the rest
This way when my engine is rebuilt i can mate it to the quattro gearbox all ready to get the rear work done

Probably quite a while, hopefully by the end of the year engine will be stroked and finished quattro box in with most of the bits ready to try and get the rear diff in and working
Hopefully graham will have done most of the ground breaking work by the time im ready for mine, also thinking of an even bigger turbo too

Good to see the progress Tim, cant wait to see the first 4x4 LCR, it's not as if everyone is doing it is it????
Another day of cracking on but although feeling like more work was done it looks like less was.
Anyway the interior is all out know and the car does seem much shorter overall than the leon so not sure if the prop is going to have to be altered much
After the inside was out work was started on the outside and the rear bumper and side skirts were off so can see the back a bit better now
Darkness stopped work today and probably most evenings in the week will hard to get on it but trying to get all the bumpers, etc out and get it up in the air an access to oily bits
After a quick look under the car while getting the rear bumper off the exhaust looks to sit below the propand be one of the lowest points.
Does anyone have any undershots of an OE LCR down pipe and cat and maybe the start of cat back.
The plan is to fit the s3 downpipe and cat when the engine is rebuilt but wondering if these sit lower in the transmission tunnel and wont mate with my LCR cat back?
One other thought to is with regard to the haldex itself, is this controlled by the ECU, if so would it be a good idea to keep the ECU and transplant this into my LCR as i assume the LCR wouldnt have the ability to control it?
Have to say a big thanks to barn for giving up his week end up to give me a hand too, i'm sure he has some pics to put up
