Whitt's Plantnum lcr (Project OEM+)

[W11TTX]

Looks great, very clean LCR!!

Am i right in thinking they are the older Audi TT Wishbones, my friend is building a mk4 golf at the minute and has these

The lcr has the same wishbones as the TT as far as I'm aware it's just the standard ones on the cupra and mk4 golf are pressed steel and not cast like the lcr and the TT ones .

Just been fitting some new hoses and a oil catch can to remove all the knackerd pcv system
Before

And some during

I was finished there but then decided the two 19mm hoses at the top where too close and couldn't get two clips on so changed the vent one to the 10mm

And then what was left of the fooked pcv system

And as you an see it had been leaking and where I had siliconed up where the leak was

Having a slight boost issue now though seems very harsh coming off boost like its lunging and not hitting boost as quick as it usual does goin up through the gears! Goin to let it settle down and see what happens

 

[W11TTX]

Boost issue is sorted I forgot to plug back in the egt sensor ooops! Next on the list is looking at suspension. Possibly gettin some ap coilovers from awesome unsure yet tho! Anyone have any reviews on the ap's ? I'm goin for height adjust only can't be arsed with damper adjust to be fair!

 

[W11TTX]

Also next on the list is to ditch the angel eyes and get the oem lights tinted and back on. Might go fly eyes or tint film don't kno what will be best yet!

Lovely looking car there mate- especially like the plate being a whitt too!

What next in the pipeline for the beast mate?

 

[W11TTX]

Cheers mate. The plate was a present off the misses. Next on the list it coilovers with new top mounts etc. want to get the front bumper resprayed but ill wait till its been dropped on coilovers first. Need get the lights changed back as well but that's it for now!

 

[W11TTX]

Well took the plunge and iv just ordered a set of these from awesome

Should get them tomorrow prob be a week or two before they get fitted as ill need to order new top mounts and bearings

 

[W11TTX]

Well they have just arrived

Can't wait to get the top mounts ordered and get them fitted!

 

[Richy Cupra]

Looking good mate, coilovers will make a huge difference. I also see you had the same problem as me with the hoses on the catchtank lol

 

[W11TTX]

Which problem mate? The split pcv pipe under the inlet!? It boost so much harder now iv sorted that!

 

[tony_burrin]

lovely car mate good work and how much difference has the dog bone mount made ?

 

[W11TTX]

Thanks, the dog bone mount made a good difference in how it put the power down, no wheel hop etc, you have just got to make sure you don't over tighten it!

 

[tony_burrin]

cheers bud was it easy to do yourself?

 

[W11TTX]

Yeah it was easy just got the car up on some mini ramps took it off and changed it over ! Took about half hour or so

 

[Richy Cupra]

Which problem mate? The split pcv pipe under the inlet!? It boost so much harder now iv sorted that!

Na, where you had to put two different size hoses into the catch tank as tow 19mm hoses dont fit side by side. Least it boosts nicely now mate

 

[W11TTX]

Ah yeah get ya, iv got a 19mm and a 8mm at the mo but I'm goin to change the other one to a 15mm one eventually so it looks a bit better

 

[Richy Cupra]

Don't blame you really. I sleeved another hose into the 19mm to tidy it up a bit, annoying that you have to do it really
