Induction kit for LCR

[leons_ leon]

£90 for a piece of metal, think ill stick with the standard air box

 

[coops10]

They used to be £50 but they've gone up in price, Mine was £90 and to be honest its quite well made but I dont think its worth £90

I paid £90 for mine last month, its expensive but looks nice and shiny

Its very nice I agree with Coops.
On a slightly different subject Coops I've been using your readers ride for inspiration!
Handling mods for me following my Stage 1 remap!

I think next time I'll visit my local fabricator (Exhaust fabs sometimes will do it) and get them to knock one up, Its nothing special but it is well made!

yeah £90.00 a bit much but heycouncil tax is almost twice that and i get nothing

I'm running jabba shield and jetex cone and I love it

I used a hair dryer and nail polish remover and 2 hours of elbow grease and got rid of my Jabba sign.

The jabba writing on the shield you can see? I quite like it

Recieved my LCR heatshield yesterday afternoon
nicely packaged BTW yes it did come in a box...

As requested it came with no sicker and overall quality is very good.. imo

If i get a chance i will fit today weather permiting

Big thanks to Carol and all @ Jabbasport

Just out of interest, why does it matter how hot the air is thats being drawn in? When it has to go through a red hot turbo attatched to a manifold thats glowing anyway? And then through the intercooler to cool it down again.

I understand the principles of heat soak on an N/A car, but it just seems pointless on a car with forced induction.

OK guys managed to get everything fitted which was pretty strightforward
however had to modify the standard cold air feed to fit the FR08001

got there in the end though
the heatshield does a very good job of holding everything in place
and there is no need for any additional clamps or brackets...
the heatshield is expensive but its a quality bit of kit anyone who owns one will agree

On the road the car sounds AWESOME and pick up is much quicker

Great work tekin

The filter sounds immense doesn't it, love mine. And the heatshield be it expensive or not is a great piece of kit. Keeping the MAF secure is very important so these don't fail and have to be replaced when it could have been avoided...

If people leave it unsecure and bouncing around, I wouldn't give the MAF long to live!

It's not an overly loud system, but has a nice sporty tone, I like it personally.

Your the lucky one then..

Vibration murders MAF's if it's too harsh. Guess yours is pretty firm, maybe because it's bigger lol.
