Mr_Dave's Ovni Yellow LCR

[D4V2K1]

Looks a lot better now!

Have you any side on pics?

 

[Mr_Dave]

Will get one after next clean

Think the adjuster cups will be coming out though, the back really is quite high in comparison!

 

[D4V2K1]

How low did you go on the front?

 

[LCR-Chick]

love the colour

 

[Mr_Dave]

How low did you go on the front?

Quite honestly I don't know! I didn't measure the sill height beforehand, but I'd guess it's dropped about 40mm to be honest.

 

[hon_n_gem]

looks very good!

i soo wish i had some money to lower it atm!

what camera do you use?! i was thinking getting a canon 400d for cheap and cheerful snaps!?

 

[Mr_Dave]

It's a Canon 400d oddly enough, it's my Dad's though! Looking at getting a 450d soon so I don't have to keep stealing his.
They're really good cameras, excellent for learning photography on!!

 

[hon_n_gem]

ahh cool, the 450d is a lil outta my price range (need to save money for mods lol)

whats plans you got for the FR next?

 

[Mr_Dave]

haha, I'm thinking a few months down the line, got a fair bit to pay off yet

not sure really, it's booked in for wheel alignment on tuesday, so whilst it's there, naturally it's being custom coded lmao!

after that.. don't really know, front brake upgrade.. ICE to be done in the summer (still got my Alpine DVD headunit in the garage!) and all that kinda stuff!

 

[hon_n_gem]

ahh nice, should be comming along nicely then! im waiting for warrenty to run out before i map it, and also brakes need replacing till i get 312's.

all this waiting is boring! lol

 

[Mr_Dave]

I wanted to wait til warranty expired originally ... But sod it, still got over 2 years remaining yet.. Will blag it haha!!

Will be waiting til the brakes NEED doing also before doing them, it seems a shame to get rid!

 

[hon_n_gem]

i said that 2 years ago brakes are still going strong :S

 

[Mr_Dave]

!!

Hm. Maybe when I've got 30k miles on the car or something then.. Shouldn't take that long, done 4 in under 2 months.. and no particularly special trips...

 

[Mr_Dave]

Just seen my above post.. Car's on 21k and brakes are still strong (Or at least, as strong as is possible with the inadequate FR brakes ) .. Private plate soon.. And a Milltek with compensation money from EasyJet

Anyway.. Gave it a quick clean and wax at the weekend.. Sorry for the quality of pics.. Done on the phone this time looks pretty good though!!

 

[Mr_Dave]

 

[Jonnio]

Tis looking good as always! Was this after the "not been cleaned in months" clean?

 

[Mr_Dave]

Yeah pretty much.. Had been literally a month with holiday and everything.. So annoying!!!

 

[T. Spark]

I think I like that colour! Looks nice aswell with the coilovers, have you taken the adjuster cups out?

 

[Mr_Dave]

Not yet - The ones on the back will probably come out this weekend though

 

[Mr_Dave]

Right, was busy last weekend...

The Milltek arrived a week yesterday, and fitted last weekend. It's rattling against the underside of the car atm, but I've tried and tried, and just can't stop it.. So visiting PSI tomorrow for them to sort the general alignment of it, as it sticks slightly wrongly out of the hole too..

Also took the adjusters out of the rear suspension, and it sits PERFECTLY now - Love it!

Then, after the Cheshire meet on Sunday.. I got some nice pics of it

Here they are:

Exhaust:

Rear adjuster cups out:

Nice shots I took:

Then finally, some photoshops done with the new shots..

Hopefully I'll have the funds next year to do most of the work shown
