That’s one hell of a car you have there.
I see you’re into plastidip too. Crazy stuff.
Loved a Vauxhall back in the day too.
Astra GTE 16v with the mad digital dash that was a rabid Car too.

LCR33, that is one hell of a spec!!! and what a car.

I could never justify spending that much on my car (to her indoors) but am open to how you did it :)

cheers

Thanks very much guys.

I didn't intend on spending/doing all that but one thing led to another etc etc.

I looked to get rid of it a while ago, test drove the rs3 amg golf r Honda and ford rs but not of them quite hit the spot and I got into the leon to drive home and was just so happy, so instead of spending £350 -£550 per month I saved it and upgraded the leon. :)

I’m stood on that slope and it’s very slippery, someone must have poured oil on it!

Hi quick update.
I haven’t been able to do a sound recording yet as the car is in the garage having a new VVT Tensioner and a tear caliper put on.
More money!!
With tensioner broken I can’t rev the car up so sorry for th delay. Should have it back for the weekend.
Then fingers crossed it’s track ready.
Haha I say ready! Could add catch can and some coil overs and................
Hope to do Snetterton end of March.

Wow. One hell of a project you're building here. Great mods. I've just bought a Cupra R which was originally mapped at AMD. Couldn't help but laugh when she showed me the printout for the stage 1 map which apparently made 286bhp with an induction kit and cat back. Going to be booking into Badger 5 for them to have a look at what's been put on. Great to see good feedback on Bill's work.

Hi.
Thanks. It's become a costly process but I do love the car.
You've made a great purchase. Really fun cars.

286bhp on a stage one with no turbo back, mmm......

You'll be pleased with Bill and the guys.
No nonsense, no frills, not even a chair to sit on , but they know their cars. Worth the drive down there for sure.
