Graeme's LCR - Now Sold *wave*

[8bit]

What do you have in right now???

o right well im pretty certain im not getting that noise then

good point think ill leave it for the now haha

Right now I've got a THS Performance TIP, it's just like the old Forge/Autobahn88/Samco designs that everyone was using until these new 76/80mm items started appearing, tapers gently towards the end. As far as I know my 008 just has a stock green spring, I know the 007 definitely does.

ah right , so your old schoooooool

yeh im guessing it wil , my 007 had a green , then when the 008 arrived it had a green in it but of course you get the yellow, blue and the spacers with the forge 008 ....... (as well a nice keyring ) so i switched over to the yellow

Oi, less of the old, thanksverymuch

To be honest I had to spend a lot of cash just keeping the car running this year and last - in hindsight I should probably just have got rid of it but it's done now, only thing is its' meant I've had no spare cash for shiny bits. If the f**ker will stop eating MAFs, turbos, lambda sensors and thermostats long enough then I'll get a B5 v.2 TIP and get it mapped over winter in time for next spring

THS performance Mounts ordering soon as well as the Liquid guage(w/ Pod) when its in stock @ awesome GTI

depending what i decide Intercooler may be bought to fit while my alloys are getting powdercoated but will have to see how much cash ill have.

 

[x24sevenbikerx]

Right Well Big spends have happened leaving me broke for a while... anyway as mentioned above THS Mount set was ordered and are now sitting at home waiting to go on (however i have no fecking clue what to do so may get a garge to fit them).

Along with them the Liquid Gauge has also been ordered and bought , awaiting the 1-2 week wait period on this getting made and sent out so will be a little longer before i see that.

Also.. my Milltek backbox's Tip fell off....:|... anyway i wanted something new and shiny and i didnt really like the look of the milltek with the oval with 2 mini circles inside etc , anyway... decided to order the 3" Cobra System , Highflow Cat , 6x4 Oval tip (No baffles) Resonated .

so 3 Big spends in the last week so hopefully i can get this all fitted when i get everything together!

Nice update mate, although yeah I can see it is going to hurt this month money wise. I really like the cobra exhaust, think you have made a good decision there. Keep us updated on how you get on

yup pretty big spend haha XD , i said i was going to drag it out so i wouldnt have these big buys all at once haha

i do like the look from the back from this exhaust so much better than the miltek only reason i was going down the miltek route was because the cat-back was already on the car when i got it

anyway will keep ya updated as soon as i get some bits fitted and part arrive!

Do you know there is 2 versions of the Milltek LCR system?

Mine is the newer one and is a 6x4 oval similar to what Cobra designed afterwards..

The old Milltek is a letter-box style and has twin pipes inside, which I agree does look a bit pants!

i did not no that no :S , anyway these seems a better option for me since im tight for cash , and since the milltek obv better but for £860 odd + for the DP + highflow cat! crazy money haha

 

[t0m]

Yeah it's not cheap sadly mate.

The Cobra looks a decent bit of kit though mate, let us know how you get on with it

 

[x24sevenbikerx]

, all should get fitted sunday , mounts and exhaust

only thing that missing is a gasket for the downpipe to manifold connection, im guessing a new one from seat would work as the downpipe has to fit to the manifold??

will do mate , will post up some pics and progress this sunday so check back

 

[Segger]

I'll be here

 

[x24sevenbikerx]

Sorry no pics or Vids :S but exhaust and mounts all fitted , will try get some vids or picstures later in the week , was so rushed on sunday getting everything fitted was such a ball ache! however very pleased with the exahust ...... however lol ... my car seems to vibrate a bit now , not sure what this could be from? its fine just cruising but seems to be when i get the power going it feels pretty shaky , was thinking this may because of the mounts ? as the stronger rubber etc is not taking out the vibrations from the engine/gearbox and going through the car more???

however a + on the mounts the dogbone seems to have improved the handling so much , just seems to hold really well going round corners at the same speeds as i would before

also another + , Replacing the MAF came back with no more fault codes and a nice reading off 213 g/s = into bhp is 266 so fairly surprised with that figure... did check after afew days of the Maf being on and was getting 255-258 in the BHP reading so still chuffed

just wondering anyway to check if the car has been re-mapped?? seems quite high bhp (not that im complaining) for just the bits ive added?
