Tom, ive just read through your whole progress blog! What a car! It sounds amazing! Is the sound just due to the 007p and the Open Cone?.

Are the Brembo's worth it? Are they 2 Pots?

Finally is the Cupra R much worse on fuel than the Cupra?

Cheers for the kind words! :D

Yeah I'm running 007p and jetex open cone with jabba heatshield. Also badger5 3" tip - but this is soon to change for an SFS 3" version. Shouldn't sound any different though!

Stage 2 boost makes it a louder tbh ;)

Brembo's are awesome for fast road use they're a great setup to have on the car from the off as standard. They're 4 pots mate.

Cupra R is no worse than a Cupra on fuel. If you drive carefully when required to (off boost) and have a healthy well run car, then both should see high 30's on motorways tbh. Easily achievable with this car. Mine gets less as I drive it around town when I get the chance and like to air her out :)
 
Sorry to jump into the conversation so late guys, but I recently sold my Audi TT 180 (mapped) and am now the proud owner of a black LCR. I also use my LCR as a family car, but during my experience of owning the TT; the LCR has been a lot better on fuel and feels quicker. Although I do run my super unleaded.

I agree with most of the comments.... draw up a wish list and test drive them all.

If you dont mind me asking, what spec was the car and how much did you pay for the LCR? Yellow ones seem to be ALOT cheaper. (probably because of the paint fade - i know i had a ibiza cupra in yellow!) Id like a red or black one.
 
Do Golf mk4 leather recaros fit? I have them in my golf and would like to put them into the LCR

Of course not. I paid £4400 for mine 3 months ago, 225 black, fsh, 12 months mot, 7 months tax with 47k on the clock. The only thing that needs doing is the alloys could do with a refurb. It's completely standard apart from a mongoose exhaust. Of the top of my head, my TT was pushing out around 220bhp with the full works, twin exhaust etc... But it just felt slower! :shrug:

I was looking at the LCR and R32 a few years ago, but I regret not buying the LCR sooner. Really nice cars. :D
 
yeah i suppose. are the FR diesels any good?

You need to take a couple of days off mate to test drive everything! You wanted a cupra or cupra R then a TT, now you're thinking of a diesel one and an Octavia vrs what next? Not being grumpy mate it's just you need to decide on a car first then we CAN help you! :banghead:
