Yeah really good thanks. Could really do with a rear anti roll bar so the handling can deal with the new power, and honestly I would love a new clutch and get a quaife diff fitted at the same time if I done that. Really be able to get those 300horses down then lol. What you running now?

Well 0 horses at the moment as I've had a big end failure. Conrods bent. It's probably down to the cheap map that was on the car when I bought it. But having all forged internals . New bearings , piston rings , hydraulic lifters . Then looking to maximise the potential of my new internals . First go stage 2 then perhaps later chase after the 400 mark .

Right after a few weeks of fighting with a public liability insurance company it has been agreed that my car will be treated to a £2.5k wet sand detail including wheel and calliper refurbs. Curtesy of KDS in GIllingham. This was after some nugget decided to spray paint a building next to my car and cover in in tiny white dots of powder coat. She's booked for 20th September and will take a week. Can't wait for the results am very excited. Maybe the best example in the country afterwards ;-)

It's a non resonated polished alloy from DPM performance.

Thanks mate, it's actually filthy currently as I can't be bothered before the detail next month!

Yours looks lovely too though, nice spec!

Cheers. I'll look forward to your fitted pics and review. Ha I know that feeling. Too hot to give it a proper clean at the moment.

Replaced the old charge pipe with a polished non resonated one and also a red forge turbo pipe to complete the boost hoses.

Spool up feels quicker and so far all seems to be good after a quick test drive this evening. There is a subtle noise difference in that you can hear the spool up more which is cool. Really happy with the work today.

Tomorrow I will fit my wheel spacers!

Looks good mate. May look at doing the same to mine. Add a bit of colour.

Another awesome black LCR. :) I need the time (and decent weather) to give mine a proper clean... although i'm technically trying to 'polish a turd' as the paint is terrible in places... needs a respray. :)

Keep up the good work dude!
