Steve`s Red Beauty UPDATE: now with boot build

[deedaskrh]

Well i thought its about time i done myself a Readers ride thread.......

so without further adue....

7500g with 23000 miles on her totally standard bar the carbon air filter!

Before. (The Very Day she came into my hands)

fist things done were:

Window Tints
stage 2 APR Remap
Full turbo back Miltek System
Hi-flo Cat
Hi-flo downpipe

All done by awesome bar the tints

Then i got onto the ICE situation im abit of an ice man you see
I decided to put a pc in so i could have all my music in one place and have the Internet, Diagnostic stuff, Digi gaugs , sat nav and all the other gadgets you can have with a pc in your car.

i did have a motorised screen in but after careful consideration i went with a standalon monitor on the dash all touchscreen of course.

you can get some awesome software to consolidate all the gadgets i went with centrafuse cos i thought it best

you can download some good plugins for it for free... i got one called lap time you can measure 0-60 times quater mile times or even drive a route in and it logs it with gps and you can upload it to sites and race it with your mates. hope that makes sense!

also a nice Kenwood headunit to pump the sounds out..

this is the pc bellow the power cap its really good looks similar to an amp so it doesnt look out of place.

and a Vibe CBR 12" active sub to sweeten the deal!!!

Next came the Fabia Rear Wiper one of the easiest most satisfying mods ive done yet lol im not the most technical of people and i done it easily myself.

Next i got the Wheels REfurbed and powder coated i was gonna get em done in anthracite but decide to go gloss black at the last minute results are good....

then came a few other little bits for exampl decent front halo headlights, rear lights (which im not too sure about), Black repeaters, Chrome repeater bulbs, Phillips headlight bulbs, and these little bad boys from a guy ste-lfc got me in touch with

carbon door sill protector things

next came alot of work forge TIP,FMIC DOG mount, Quick shifter and a few other things after a dogdy 2 weeks of waiting thanks to a faulty TIP and a new turbo as a result

i got it back and had throttle body hoses a carbon engine cover and some bling to make it look nice she looks like this inside

and thats pretty much where i am at the moment im starting to think about Suspension and stuff next or maybe some nice drilled grooved disks...............................


all i can say is..............................Watch this space

Looking good matey, im really loving the red cupra R's lately

 

[xhellixx]

Red beaut indeed

 

[deedaskrh]

cheers mate i would say its the best colour but clearly im biased lol

did fell in love with it as soon as i viewed it tho

 

[Righttoe]

Real nice car mate, not to keen on the rear lights but apart from that its mint!

 

[CupraR210.DJM]

nice car mate, looks wicked.

 

[deedaskrh]

cheers mate i love it and its soooo much faster than pretty much aything ive ever driven

 

[Crafoo]

Sweet looking ride dude I should have had a closer look the other day but you parked it too far away and I am very lazy

 

[deedaskrh]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

 

[Lazy_lizard]

Niceee

 

[deedaskrh]

was just thinkin about carbon skinning something dont ask me what cos i dnt know.... then i found some Red carbon fabric online and decided im gonna do it im gonna skin summit


any suggestion as to what?

 

[tarzan]

lcr spliter battery cover,maybe something on the center consol
car looks mint

 

[trialsben]

Beautiful car you've got there!

How about maybe carbon mirrors or a carbon effect centre console rather than the std. plastic? If it's nice and realistic sheeting then I think it could look really good.

 

[deedaskrh]

i think im gonna leave the red carbon for the interior however just got a good quote for powder coating the charge pipe and mani so thats defo on the cards.........................

and thanks mary jane ;-)

 

[deedaskrh]

Just a quick update

I ran a 14.4 Quarter mile today at mod madness on thorney island im not totally sure what lcr's normally run


but i was impressed for a first go lol

 

[cus]

very nice just not keen on the rear lights personally. red cupras are growing on me!

 

[turbo009]

Like it but don't like your rear lights sorry

 

[BigWill]

Nice stuff you've done to it, like a few others not too keen on the lights but it's your car so it doesn't matter what I say although I would say remove the power cap, it's really not needed, i got 1.5Kwrms running without one and it's fine, although i do need to put my 2nd battery in the boot

 

[PHIL LCR]

Hey deedaskrh,

Can I ask where you got the carbon door sill protectors from?

Thanks, Phil.

 

[deedaskrh]

got em off a mate on here Ste-lfc hes a good lad and really helpful like

as for the lights i dont like em either, well the initial looks its the leds i do like so i thinki im just gonna tint them i think theyll be cool like that
