View Full Version : My Black LCR 225
Here's a Pic of my Cupra R 225
Only had her about 2 months now and I'm hooked!
Fitted a full stainless 3" system with no centre box, Forge 007 dump valve and a Neuspeed induction kit with heat sheilding.
Oh yeah and thr private plate, what ya think?:)
Lots more plans to come

It wont let me attach any pic's! Any ideas why?
Cheers
you need to upload on photobucket first
I dont think you've got enough posts yet mate.
you need to post them on another site then link them here.. As above try photobucket or fotki or something like that!
I'll try again!

I like alot. seat really done well with the cupra and the cupra-R.
No i've only had mine for 2 weeks, the only thing i've done to mine is keeping it clean!!! black is a nightmare to keep clean, but onced cleaned....it looks hot
Haha I know what you mean. its worth it tho.
Always gone for black cars
Oh yes it is, gave it a good clean yesterday and god i was chuffed!!! So what mods u doing to yours?
So far its got the 3" system, Neuspeed powerflow induction kit, Forge 007p dump valve and red hoses.
The recirculating dump valve really sounds good through the induction kit, you can hear the different notes as it spools then a nice chatter noise as it dumps.
well recomended.
Thinking about a remap from Awesome in the next month if funds are availiable haha.
You got any plans?
Nice, take some more pics of your car!!!
My first mod will be forge 007p then revo!!! after that i will either get a carbon air intake, green dynatwist or panel filter.
Then a miltek exhaust, FMIC and possibly lowering springs and new rims.
But yesterday i did test drive the new civic type r and hate to admit it, i like it. Might even end up selling mine to get one...

nice mate, so u recomend the air filter u have as that is a mod i am after now, post some pics up of it if u can, and a link please. LOVE the car mate, black is the best colour
I fell in love with these a few year back, still my dream to own 1!!
The Neuspeed Induction Kit is ace comes with a good lookin well made heat shield in stainless and a rectangular filter all fits great too.
Dont switch sides! Just another civic they're everywhere haha.
I'll admit they are good cars but too common and not as exciting as older ones.
Yeah true....think i'll keep to my LCR.
U going to do a remap? if so what you thinking of getting. I was certain it will be a revo cause thats what i had done on my old cupra, but after reading Custom Code, i'm torn between the both

same here :lol: just waiting for them to get cheaper and to save a little
To be honest I'm not too sure at the mo. Just thought Awesome GTI because they're only round the corner.
Their stg 1 gives 262bhp for £375
Might need to look into it a bit yet, any tips?
Neuspeed kit came from Awesome GTI in Irlam manchester.
Here are some recent pics of my pride and joy :p

wow that looks bad but good work and good progress,keep it up
oh no what happened!!! i thought from looking at the damage there it would have being written off? looks some substantial damage?
chris
Thanks to YIN for getting the pics up, dont know what I did wrong :doh:
As for the damage, I wanted to see just how bad it was and was very suprised the shell was straight!
Its costing a fortune mind but still cheaper than silly insurance premiums for the next 5 yrs :headhurt:
Cant wait to get her back now
