Mashburns Flash Red LCR *Now ready for stage 2!*

Hi all.

The car is an 03 plate LCR 210 with 92000 miles on it.

I bought it almost 3 weeks ago and it was a bit untidy....covered in stone chips, splitter missing, wheels kerbed and paint peeling off. It was also in need of a good clean inside and out.

I absolutely love the car and the way it drives!!

Here she is on the day of purchase:




And here she is after some paint and a bit of TLC:











Ive just about finished modding for now i think (famous last words) apart from the dog bone mount bushes ive got to go on.

Will probably go down the remap route once i start to get bored of the car.

what would YOUR next mod be???

Thanks Adam.

It definately looks alot better now its had a bit of £££ spent on it!

Thanks for the comments guys.

The wheel was from my local TPS and I'm pretty sure it's the lcr 225 one.

There's now another mod to add to the done list. Lets just say it was a bit of an impulse buy as I was walking past the Revo tent at Edition 38!!

looking good buddy, looks spot on for 90k odd. Sort your suspension first bud, the standard power is very usable when you can keep the car poised!

Too late for that mate, see about 7 posts up!

(i'm now running Revo)

Love it! Have you a close up of the front bumper? Really like the paint behind the fog lamps, gives it clean look.

ps i thought platinum ones were the fastest

Not got a close up of the bumper mate, sorry. To be honest i'd not even noticed this! Is it not normally like that?

i read that post aswell. still get your suspension sorted though, i got an ARB on at the weekend and it's transformed the car completely!

I need to let my bank balance recover for a while first!

I dont really wanna go lower either, i'd like to keep the ride height the same.
