A lot more grunt to be found than what I have achieved so far so working on that at the moment. Smooth power delivery is down to several things working together, the N249 bypass, Forge UNOS manual boost controller and the map AmD put on the car. Would definitely recommend looking into the MBC's as the overall power might not be as high as others but the way the car holds power is where it all matters

I just love the graph mate! been properly reading through yours... i want it haha

Looking really good mate, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh again at the next meet!

Cheers man, yeah alot has changed since the last one haha, thats the beauty of the meet... makes me have to do MORE!

Lovely looking LCR.
Those rear lights where did you get them? - They look awesome against your silver paint.

Great work on the detail too.

Its red laminex over the top half of the lights, going to have to come off as I cant get the indicators flashing orange, been looking at options but hate the red LED versions so maybe smoked tops.... sorry if your reading this Gaz I'll buy enough for both of us ;) or just trim some small lines out for the orange to shine through.

What kind of "difference"? I changed these hoses recently and didn't notice any difference at all, other than the engine bay looks a bit smarter. Or were yours damaged/split at all?

Aha, yeh that'll help then! I was more "eliminating possibilites" when I changed mine, that plus tarting up the bay...

New rear lights, now 100% legal as opposed to the previous full red versions.

Laminex, steady hand and a sharp knife.

Anyone say hosing???

5ad2e182-5572-ba84.jpg


Basically all the boost and air hosing will soon be Forge. TIP on order - looked at the B5 but went for forge as I believe I is right for my set up. If I had a stage 2 car or Hybrid then the B5 TIP would of been purchased.

Bad times on the old boost hosing!!

5ad4488e-e212-c2a5.jpg


So just fitted - upper boost hosing and oil breather hosing (ancillary hosing done 2 weeks ago) Easy job as i dont have massive hands so it helped alot!

Lower boost hosing to be done at another time prob along with the TIP when that arrives.
