Hey mate,shame as it's in great condition !,I think whoever buys it will be getting a great car,
Looking forward to seeing your Fr,what plans do you have for it

First on the list is coilovers mate, then wheels as im not a fan of the standard fr wheels, then possibly LCR bumpers not 100% on that yet though.

Hope your car is sorted soon mate.

Today my new front coilover arrived from Weitec,I bought it through DPM Performance as they had supplied the original set for the car and also gave me the best price,They had to order it from Germany (arrived in 3 working days) which i think is great service.I then dropped it down to my mates garage so he will be fitting it tomorrow for me along with new strut top bushes,
Getting the love back for the car so will hopefully be making it to Players !!

So today i had the new coilover fitted along with new strut top bushes as they were pretty knackered,Also had the oil and filter changed,
Have to admit i really noticed the difference on the drive home as it really seems to have tightend up the front end and got rid of the creaking noise that was bugging me !

Here's a pic of the old coilover



And the new one fitted





It's also sitting exactly level at the front so i'm really happy with it,Did think about going lower but i didn't want to make the car a little undriveable as i use it every day.Hopefully that will be it for a while maintenance wise !!

Well today i gave the car a good wash and polish,Then went out for a good long drive and i must say that i am very much back in love with my car (what was i thinking !!) the handling has really improved!,




So on the August bank holiday Monday i was due to have it on show at the Hype Culture and Sittingdubs Show,So i'm gonna do my best to be there and not be put off by anyone who has any negative things to say because as far as i'm concerned they haven't got a clue !!

Good man :) She's a sexy ass LCR so I'm sure it's not hard to love. I don't know if you know, but I used to have a black LCR before my current one, it wasn't tuned much etc, but when I cleaned it, boy it looked awesome.

And yeah, ignore any haters mate. If you listen to what any old harry says at a car show in this game you'll forever be paranoid about your car and what's 'wrong' with it.

You know there isn't so just carry on loving it mate. :)

Need to sort a few things out on it mainly re spray a few bits and get rid of window tints then It'll be pretty sorted. Definitely up for a meet up and beer mate are there any more meets at that pub (can't remember the name)?

Ok cheers for info will have to get some new plates ordered!

I think the landlord of the pub banned car meets as a few people started speeding about and making a nuisance of themselves so not sure where their meeting up now,Although i would still be up for going there,

I maybe making plans to go to the Players show in a few weeks time,It's a bit of a drive but worth it from what ive heard and there's also quite a few members from here going if your up for it ??

Well I didn't make it to the Sittingdubs Hype Culture show today even though i spent a few hours getting the car ready yesterday




Due to taking the family away to Dorset this week i decided to save my pennies for that,Will be interesting to see what mpg i'm gonna get ????
But on the plus side i'm going to Edition38 when i get back next Sunday with a few VW owners i know so looking forward to that (although it's gonna be a race against time to get the car ready in time !! )
Hopefully see a few of you there ??..
