Got it

[Icecavern]

Picked up the sooty this evening.

When you give it some stick it's pretty nippy, will be just right once it's remaped

Already started the mods, TT comps are on and the standard HU is gone, replaced by a quality Eclipse HU

No pics yet as it was properly dark when I finished, oh and it looks proper 4x4 on the 17's

Let the modding begin! Are you going to go 4 a full boot build?

 

[Icecavern]

Sort of. Only the amps are going in the boot.

 

[muddyboots]

Are you getting used to the yellow dials yet

 

[m0rk]

I wonder how long it will be until Pete starts talking about

"riding the torque"
"sooting that evo he left for dead"
"55mpg"
"riding the torque"

I think that's about it for topics covered?

 

[Icecavern]

lol well now you mention it

Actually I'll no be taking an interest in the finer points of noise reduction. The engine is quiet compared to the road noise from the back. Soundproofing should take care of that though

Oh and I only managed 47mpg on the way in this morning. Too busy riding the torque to worry about MPG

 

[muddyboots]

You're learning

Here we go

Mind you you'll need a big audio system to drown out that tractor engine

 

[Icecavern]

Don't worry I'm not going to endlessly go on about MPG etc. I mean you didn't catch me posting about how many ferraris I'd blown away in the R did you? And we all know the LCR is the fastest thing on the planet

The only thing, other than noise, that isn't quite how I like it is that the seat doesn't go as low as in the R. Oh and those horrible horrible yellow dial surrounds

 

[Rosco906]

come on go out and get pic's!

 

[Icecavern]

Just a quick one, bit dark but the light is going.

After a quick measure it looks like I need -40mm at the front and -65mm at the back to get it looking right. Guess that means coilovers.

 

[Sisson]

Deffo needs coilies on

Cough *4x4* Cough!

 

[Rosco906]

Looks good buddy!

Whatst he Eclipse HU like? i e pic i mean.

Also where's the pins for the seat headunit? mines is the alana

Give me a chance, I only got it yesterday

The eclipse HU I'm using is this one http://www.eclipse-web.com/eu/cd/index.html

Fantastic HU. No pics of it in the car as I've not installed it properly yet

 

[grq]

The comps look so good, pity they are so bloody hard to get! And when you find a decent set no one wants to courier them to N.Ireland

 

[Sisson]

^^^ and they cost a bomb...

Not really mint set with tyres is only around £750

 

[muddyboots]

"only £750"

 

[Icecavern]

Try buying good quality 17" alloys with new toyo tyres for less...
