DaNnY_LaD's HTA-Gt2868R Big turbo Build(Now @ AKS Tuning)

sorry to be the voice of reason, but id just stay stage two, all that money to get an extra few and i mean few bhp, not to mention stressing the hell out of the internals, if your not carful dan your going to end up doing what you did to the ibiza and wrecking the engine,

sorry to say it but id stay reliable and have 280bhp stage two,

rather spend the extra on a good diff, to get the power down as 280 can be wasted most of the time in the uk

Totally agree!
The extra cash could go towards a seriously powerfull car one day, one with a chassis designed to use all that power.
As for the diff comment that is deffinatly the best route if you want to spend seriouse funds on the LCR, No point in having 300-odd bhp when you'll only actuall put about 270 of it down.
 
I do understand hence why i will take a back seat with it and see what the stage 2 is like..Id still have the Ibiza Now if the Denso hadnt snapped on idle...

ive got my Magnex de-cat now and my hosing and maf arrived this morning so once ive done them il get it RR'd
 
After fitting the Bf Catback & Plus receiving my new phone I thought id get some Little videos...It was just to see what it sounded like Plus i couldn't wait to use the 9mp Camera Phone..

Il get some better ones soon once ive fitted the boost leak and the New maf...

Boring Videos..Does like to pop lol :banned:

On the good note the Bf isnt loud inside the car...Outside on the other hand is...So ive been told [B)]
once the De-cat section arrives il connect the final wire to the wot box and get it video'd.

Danny, how do you find your LCR compared to your ibiza when it was fully ko3s'd? Im going to be making the same jump in about 6months and get an LCR. Wanted to hear what you though. Does it feel as quick being a bigger car? Better around the corners than the beeza?

The LCR is more of a more grown up look/feel to it fair enough its larger but its lovely to drive It doesnt feel like a Barge like u'd Expect of a car this size...With the Ibiza Is was more a toy and a raw feel to it..

I would never get a ibiza again after owning this as it just lovely,I woundnt mind the IHI power though lol But its quick enought and Looks the part too..It aint Brillaint in the corners but its alot better than my friends ST....But sayin that Nothing Suspension Work Can't sort out and Decent tyres...
 
Stage 1 Car Clean Pictures:

Right as the Weather is getting better i desided to get the car Clean but it was more of a task than Usal as the Woman Before me used a Scoring pad on it so its got Loads of Web/Swirls and Scratches all over the car...

My Mate is a Panel/Sprayer/Detailer & valeter so Ive Left it with him He's orderd all the stuff Needed todo the job so should be here Mid/End Of Next week plus i ordered the paint for my LCR Wheels just so i could get it all done and ready for the NW Meet @ End Of March....Then i can order some 40's tyres...

Here's Some pictures of the stage 1 Polish Which got rid of the bad swirls but the More deeper ones are going to need to be Machine'd...

It does look alot better than it has ever done but there is alot off room for improvment..
