Hi All,
just new to the forum. Sold my e46 m3 4 months ago and decided to take my time when coming to buy a new car. Test drove quite a number of cars, from s3's, s4's, type r's, scoobies/ evo's, TT's and LCR's, i felt that the LCR was the most practical/nicest looking and not shy on power too.
My mate owned one and recently sold his due to personal reasons - a member on this forum (R4MSN). He had convinced me to buy a LCR, " you wont regret it - he said " and to be honest he was quite right.
After searching long and hard i finally came across one ( and he was 10 mins up the road from me - how lucky lol)
2002 LCR in Black
63k miles with full service history inc recent timing belt, water pump etc change
Recent Full service
Full Years MOT and Tax until June 11
2 Former Keepers
Bodywork is in v good condition for its age, a few chips on the bonnet but nothing major, i was surprised at how clean an example it was.
There are a few mods to it aswell:
Rear Tinted windows
Bee sting aerial
K & N induction kit
CCFL angel eye kit
6K HID KIT
RE MAPPED TO 263 (with print out)
Recently refurbed wheels
Bad Points ( every car has them )
3 button remote doesnt work - possibly needs re programmed
upper speaker cover on passenger side missing
Tracking to be done as new track rod ends were put on
Thats it lol
I am planning to keep it for a while and have read many readers rides - alot of interesting projects going on.
I would appreciate all the help from memebers and any opinions too.
Will post up pics once iv givin it a good clean.
Future plans:
lowered on Weitec or Spax springs - either 50/40 or 45 all around respectively - opinions?
Down pipe
Miltek/Scorpion exhaust - opinions?
De badged
S badges - wrapped in carbon fibre/matt black effect
Wheels re painted in anthracite - possibly darker?
Aero flat wipers
New splitter
Seat Sat Nav Unit/ Alpine
New car Cupra r Mats
Arm rest - assuming i'd have to get this from a Golf?
Front tints
Is there any point of Silcone piping?
Im not going to be using the car for any track days - just every day use. I am more than happy with the power it has to offer, i personally feel that pushing for more bhp is pointless for a fwd car and espcially in Scotland where all you get is rain, you would rarely get all that power down. So subtle mods for me
Pics to follow .....
