Discovered after 3 months of owning my LCR that the steering wheel adjusts in and out as oppose to up and down...:blink: I now like the driving position :D

I washed mine with buckets didn't like it and used 86,000 gallons of water also hoovered it and it came out alright although I hate having no jet wash or snow foam. [:@]

Stroking / boring to 2008cc and converting to E85. Larger compressor housing, fuel system upgrade and some other goodies.

Nice, thats why i went with a stroker, i see it as future proofing incase i want to go bigger
When are you going to bring this beast to the UK too?

I know Bill wants to see my numbers with his own eagle eyes on his heartbreaker dyno so I might just have to go there sometime. Albeit its a 1000 ! mile detour for me when I hit the ring.... so not sure if its worth it ;)

I think stroker and E85 on this billet 3071 with larger compressor housing on dot R tires can be fun... we'll see if I can get the mapping done right.

Thats going to be insane with more power, 550-600hp??
I've decided to follow grahams idea and try a ghetto style 4wd conversion to try to make use of all the horses i can produce

Would love to see 600+, but I have no idea how this will turn out... new to E85 mapping I am.

You got a haldex from S3 or what route are you going? I was thinking about the same, but decided the spending frenzy have to stop at some point. 4wd would be great in a light little package as the MK1 LCR is tho... Great for trackdays..

Picked up an S3 dirt cheap with a bent rod so got nearly everything i want for free after breaking it.
Its made me sell my gt2871R kit and look towards bigger blowers towards the 500 range now

You do know the seat can be highered/lowered?

Painted my Cupra R foglight grilles gloss black, looks better than the dull grey covered in silver overspray they were before:

Middle one next, remove plate and paint the silver bit behind that black, probs leave the plate off or get a smaller one, then a new cupra r splitter to replaced my battered one also do that in gloss black :)
