Ronin225's Candy rimmed Black LCR - Project 500-4WD, Cage installed and bigger turbo

[Seal_LCR]

I love your devotion to sorting the underside out on the LCR mate, good work done there

Will be a proper go kart feel once you've got to the finish line in that area.

Seeing and talking to Tim has changed my whole approach I'm gonna sort some handling mods if not all before stage 2

 

[Ronin225]

Cheers guys, i try and keep it as mechanically sound as possible
I've hopefully sorted some ramp time friday night so i can get the track rod ends fitted then alignment on saturday morning
Once this is done i'll have a drive and review the bushes as i dont think currently i can fairly review them
Big fan of ergonomics over aesthetics
Barn, maybe one evening a blast to hereford??

Handling and braking then power. Bling if you're that way inclined :gay:

Exactly, took me 5.5 years until i mapped it

Still can't believe it took you that long to map it!!

Big fan of ergonomics over aesthetics says he with the candy rims..

Only playing mate That's about as bling as you get!

Didnt you know that candy colours are the new OE??
In reality they arent as eye catching and bright as youd expect (until plod pull you saying they were chasing 'rudolph')

That's where I'm going wrong!

Lol 'rudolph' - Look forward to seeing it at Inters.

 

[Ronin225]

Yes mate, maybe i should bring the slicks and run on the strip (although my clutch could die)
Only problems with shows are the ideas i get when walking around, im already thinking of adding some bracketry to the front end to triangluate and brace

 

[t0m]

I think you should run it

I need to ban myself from buying stuff at the show, lol.

 

[Ronin225]

I doubt i will, theres no corners on a drag strip so all the mods to that are track orientated donrt do much
Even the 'special' prices offered at shows arent that good, it always makes me think 'i could make that cheaper' and have it suit what i want, battery box and I/C pipework happened this way

 

[t0m]

Such a true racer Ronin

Yeah agree on the show products that will be on sale, not always much cheaper, it's more a convenience thing that it's there in front of you and there's demo's on detailing gear etc.

 

[Ronin225]

I need a little man cave i can disappear into and make stuff
Screw detailing stuff, water beads anyway if you go fast enough
You should try some fabrication of something or do something bespoke

 

[Seal_LCR]

Are we convoying over to inters? Book me in for the detail Tim!

Yes we will!

I would like to request not nearly being taken out this time though!

 

[ReDBull]

Are you guys going on the stand?

 

[cupra-barn]

Are you guys going on the stand?

I should think so mate, being in Stratford it's nice and close so we dont really have any excuses haha

This has made my day

Exactly, took me 5.5 years until i mapped it

I took the same route. Did all the handling and breathing mods first and then got it mapped. Took me about 3 odd years until it was mapped!!

lol what ever happened to the clean freak RDS we all once knew

Not sure there will be man caves on sell at Inters mate!

Lol, faster is the only way Most of my mechanical work is done now on mine not much left to do really, just some silicone hoses here and there.
