Martin's LCR ** Update - Now Hybrid**

[RDS]

Looking good mate. I wish I knew what I was doing to be able to do engine mods myself, probably have rods done by now if I didnt have to pay for labour.
Loving the mileage

Rich,

Just do the research and have a go yourself, set yourself a period of time (3 - 4 days) to do it and take your time. If you come unstuck ask on here there are plenty of people that have done it and it's not THAT hard. There is a good series of video's on the net that give you a walk through on how to do it.

Forge don't as such sell their own 3" TIP, but the hosing on the B5 has the 'silicone hosing' logo on it which Forge use? Strange...

SFS sell a 3" TIP also.

Great updates Martin, what was up with the first manifold.

 

[LCRMartin]

its leaking and making the car overfuel like a bugger, either due to warpped flange or possible overtightening :-/

I have one of the new ones and haven't fitted it yet and have noticed that the flange is warped by 0.5mm which although small maynot be taken up by the gasket. I depair with thier quality control as its the 3 rd one i've obtained and they all have issues. Sad really.

Really looking forward to seeing how this performs mate. These manifold updates are kind of putting me off now Willy have you got the same manifold as Martin?

XS / relentless manifold and unfortunately neither company will reply to my emails either. But if you were to buy one then obviously deal with Sam and i'm sure poor comms will not be an issue).

 

[LCRMartin]
