you need to trim the back of the crash bar! have you done that?

 

[Munky]

lol @ myki..

Trim the crash bar!?!.., i did think of that but managed to get it fitted with help from a mate.. I'll take it all off and trim the crash bar tomorrow tho.. Need to have a lil play and get it more in the middle..

 

[turboboy]

cut as much away as you can and trimp the crash bar! ive fitted 4 now and all have been dead in the middle!

they are a good FMIC, in terms of what you pay for them, but when i had mine fitted and then swapped over to the Forge kit, the Forge kit was by far superior in comparison

still, for a setup of £150 approximately, they certianly do the job

But angle grinding the crashbar?

wont have no difference in performance though, just looks and fitment wise mate thats what your paying for, and what the other people arent

the one that comes in the forge kit is cut in half mate, its just YOU have to do it, and it sounds bad, as againsts you just swapping like for like. The forge one has a huge gash missing

If you want the laguna centralised you also need to do this.

How much did you pay for the Laguna intercooler? Where from?

 

[Ricardo_Smooth]

laguna one currently is £135 +vat. Where have people got the pipework from though as i priced it all up the other day and the pipework came to about £100! is this right?

 

[Munky]

Thanks for the help guys

I got my intercooler off this site.., keep an eye open in the for sale section.., i paid £50inc delivery..

As for pipes.., yeah they cost about £100 in total but your hopefully getting a good intercooler setup for between £150-£200 which isn't bad at all..

I got most of mine from www.siliconhoses.com and a couple of lil bits and bobs from SFS Performance and my hose joiners from Forge.. Shop around for the best prices

Forge cuts the leon one significantly, i had to spend a day sanding mine down and repainting it as they hadnt finished the bar correctly afterwards and it rusted up severely. -
A right pain in the arse, but i had to do it, as i didnt like the idea of being half the depth as well as rusty!

Jesus I never knew that, my LC one is 100% intact, id never fook around with them. They are called crash bars for a reason.

the leon has loadsa clearance compared to the mk3 beezer, the laguna mod takes nowhere enar as much off the crash bar, not a huge gash.
