My LCR

[Stylance]

Hmm.. Anyone know where I can find some brembo rear handbrake callipers, the best price I've found new is £470 inc delivery and vat.

I don't mind 2nd hand?

What colour people?

They are lovely! I'm guna order mine from bar-tek I think,

Just ordered a Loba HPFP,

Also made a order on some cooling goodies!

Audi s3 inter cooler on steroids

And whilst I have my bumper off Itd be rude not too..

That's should allow me to sufficiently cool the car at massive figures whilst retaining the air con.

I don't it matters what colour to go for as they are all cool as fooook. So you've gone for a larger intercooler and then going to add a twintercooler. Like you're style!!!!

If you don't mind me asking what price do the Intel manifold come in at?

Haha well I'm contemplating buying a forge updated rad and a oil cooler, chuck it all in and that's that! But just can't quite afford it at the moment.

The manifold once converted was around £850.00 it doesn't give major gains at the moment, but I'll bolt it to my integrated engineering high flow head with uprated valves (+1mm ferrah) when I buy that next month, then 2 months after that I'm thinking a GTX3076r, get the top end all built and ready, tart it all up... Then concentrate on pistons and rods... Then drop the head on when changing the rods and Pistons... I will eventually get the AWD on but I still use the car daily so building a engine in the garage is do-able!

Still following with great interest!

Pardon the ignorance, but you got me thinking from your post above. Would a stock car overheat by using it on track days? Would it overheat if using the aircon while on track?

Thanks!

Thanks bud! Muchos appreciated!

You have no worries about the car overheating, you'll need a intercooler for stage 2+, but past stage 2+ there has been questions regarding the ability of just a uprated intercooler when the air con rad is in front of it, then there's questions about just a front mount intercooler alone, as I plan to go as far as poss, I thought I'd bite the bullet and sort it out from my current stage, that way later there is less expense later on, which that setup and decent boot piping I should never had a problem staying cool...plus... I like AC too much, as people cut it out the AC for weight/ air restrictions.

I think if you need to remove air con to save weight, (e.g go faster) your going about it the wrong way... I'm all up for carbon fibre... But that's later to come

Also today... Got to play with this beast..

My uncle was showing me how to mould GRP, he's in the middle of making his seat..

My uncle is a old hot rodder/ biker so he's a dab hand in ye' old ways of mechanics, and my auntie is a good upholster so she'll stick a leather seat.

If anyone's interested it's a Buell Cyclone M2 I think? It has a Harley engine, before Buell made there own and ruined things so he tells me lol...

Wish I could have afforded the Intergrated engineering head when I did mine. The rods and Pistons are cheap compared to the rest of stuff you're thinking of buying. It will be unreal with that lot bolted together. The money you'll spend on the head and turbo you could have done the 4wd mod. I built mine in my garage but I was lucky as I have a Skoda VRS as a second car that has never let me down. Cheap as chips too.

If I remember rightly you didn't have much prior notice on your rebuild, although you done a cracking job! Yeah it's funny but the head and valvetrain aren't massively expensive when broken down, plus the benefits, and 8K rpm... Haha I will do AWD eventually I've got everything I need minus 1/2 bolts next weekend I may go about cutting my boot floor out lol.

Mmm I'd like to buy a second car (seat Toledo) but I just look at them for £800, insurance £300 & think... That's a turbo maybe once I've stock piled everything lol?

Once you finish with the Leon will it only be for track days or everyday use?

The reason I ask is because in Northern Ireland I would imagine it impossible to explain to your insurance the mods and that you carried them out yourself haha is it different in England

Once I'm done it'll be used on the road, abused on the track. I've spoken with my insurance and they prefer me to list my modifications, they've never asked where it was fitted though lol. I'm going to look into specialist insurance closer to the time.

Today's sequence of events... Nothing productive!

I went to fit my rear strut... Couldn't figure it out. So went to close the boot and it wouldn't shut! Bloody things broke, so I debated it, plasti dipped the Seat badge, painted my R badge black and then cable tied the boot shut for now... Pain in the .... Neck.

So my next plan of action is! Get the boot to open by the key and smooth the seat badge out, gloss black cupra letters and fix the boot latch bit.

Boot lock or a new S badge! Very very common! Good luck

As joeleonFR said, it's just a new mechanism thing, easy job just such a silly one! Lol I hate fixing things, absolutely cannot stand it! Lol I'd rather install new shiny things! Lol thank you not sure if I like r debaged though... Always seemed so wrong lol

Yeah what a nightmare, I believe it's the boot lock. lol
