Potters Mk1 LCR 225

[potter88]

Well after looking for a LCR for a few months I finally picked her up last Sunday.

She has done 64k, FSH, MOT and Tax until Sept and had 2 owners

Cambelt does need doing so won't be moving until it's been done hopefully next week.

Only modifications was tinted windows front and rear and here is a pic of her on way home

Well when I got it home I thought whilst I still had another vehicle and waiting on cambelt I decided on wheels being powdercoated as they were kerbed and lacquer peel badly

Really chuffed with results

Mods will be over course of next year will be Forge 007p, Jetex cone filter, Badger5 TIP, R1TCHIE heatshield, Milltek/Cobra cat-back and remap stage1/2

(Sorry not best pics but taken on iphone)

Aerocoat job

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

James (phonex27 I think his username is) dropped his off at aerocoat last night to be done the same. I was getting mine coated but they didn't do the colour I wanted.

I was tempted to go for shadow chrome but for an extra £100 thought I'd spend money elsewhere

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

My focus wheels were shadow chrome. I did think about it but wasn't sure it would suit mine.

I think yours look better black.

Cheers bud. Coilovers are another added to that list that need doing too

Dark wheels on Silver LCR's look good

Agreed! Looking great! The ride height adjustments will transform the car

Well after looking through photo bucket earlier I thought I'd share some off my old cars

Here was my latest and it's a 172 Cup

Mods included ITG Panel Filter, Anthracite Turinis (did come with white Superturismos), OMP Front and Rear strut brace, Polybushed all Anti-Roll Bar, Suspension Arms, Engine Mounts with Solid Top Mounts too. Uprated Magnecore leads, Scorpion Cat back exhaust, drilled and grooved discs and EBC pads all round

Before that was my Mini Cooper S.

I had a lot of plans for this and started off with a Cat back Fletcher Exhaust (awesome quality) but then headgasket went. The thing was never the same again and was a bad omen for me and eventually sold it for spares and repair

This was my Civic Type R

Mods on this was AEM V2 Long Reach Induction Kit, Powdercoated Alloys, JDM plates and uprated speakers. I had much more in pipeline for this but then decided on pursuing my bike test and purchased a Zx6r and then a Gsxr 600

Anyway there a bit about my history of cars and bikes

Well after purchasing a forge 008 today, I went out to have a close inspection to find one of these on it so will be selling a Splitter R soon

 

[potter88]

My 008 recirc valve came yesterday so changed the splitter r out and 008 now installed

Standard green spring in it for now until it goes for map

Looks very nice and some good plans to make it better. Enjoy.

Gave her a quick clean today because the heavens opened

Gave me a chance to try out some new products

And I like this new toy to play with aswell

Had a few touches to finish off my alloys come through post too. New centre caps and seat locking valve caps

As you can see by the caliper though next job is to repaint calipers with new stickers

Looking good mate, happy birthday for yesterday

Cheers mate. Next lot of toys might have to wait a couple of months now as that time of year has come up for Insurance next month then followed by Tax and MOT and cambelt is getting done next week too.

Next will probably be an 80mm tip

Some nice cars you've had buddy, I still miss my CTR that noise

you've got some good cleaning products there, the car should sparkle

Cheers mate.

The sound is phenomenal with a open induction kit and certainly makes people aware your on the move

Car will be looking sparkling when we get some good weather to do it

 

[potter88]

One caliper I've managed to re-paint so far. Not perfect by any means but will do until I get time to rebuild and powdercoat them
