I'm done. Snapped cambelt. - The start of the build!

Good man. Get a nice big torque remap and enjoy!

Never seen a red lcr in the flesh, looks ace!

 

[Gaz7]

Needs a bit of correction after a lazy winter !

 

[rob929]

Good man. I would never break mine. Also yours is in the best colour. I maybe biased because mine in also a red lcr. Lol.

Better the devil you know, with forged rods you will at least know you aint going to have issues. Good luck and keep posting updates mate.

 

[Proff_86]

Good decision to fix it, looks in really nice condition in the photos.

 

[sharif]

Good to see that you repaired it.

My engine failed on mine, just got it back on the road but have lost all love for it and will be selling it.

 

[Daveyseat]

That's some bad luck

 

[glynnd]

I could never contemplate selling/stripping mine.
Its done 148k original clutch, just serviced yesterday with a new oil strainer/pick up fitted.
Uses no oil and still pulls brilliant as its always done.
I believe these cars and engines are strong if you follow the servicing to the letter, change the belt tensioner and pump in good time and use OEM where you can.
Alloys buckle easily though !!

Watch this space ...

 

[rob929]

Im watching bud.

So the good news or the better news ! Car booked in with Mr Badger himself for the beginning of June. And just placed a special order

 

[Gaz7]

Spent the morning at badger 5, ran through a few things with Bill, and saw an s3 with stage 1 mods make some healthy power . Really looking forward to the beginning of June now

Good man... can't wait to see your reaction when you get it all done and dusted... you'll be upset you ever thought about getting rid of her

 

[acid_ash]

nice car dude looks clean! unlucky with the cambelt breaking but looks like its in good hands

 

[Gaz7]

Down pipe and decat en route

 

[csd_19]

Good to see you've not given up on her

 

[cupraslayer]

And there you were , spanner at the ready !! Bet you are glad you kept her .

 

[Gaz7]

Haha yeah... Glad ! So happy with the money pouring into it, but, the end result should make me smile ! Hybrid turbo hopefully ordered tomorrow as soon as I can get in contact with Dan at bbt

 

[Gaz7]

Well hello!

 

[JayFR150]

Very nice ! I will be getting one of those Pipewerx DP's soon - not sure on decat or 200cell - what made you decide decat?

you should turn this in to your 'Readers ride' thread and get it moved to that section

 

[Gaz7]

Opted for decat because racecar! Haha, nah, I just like the idea of having that extra bit of flow, probably going to get a cat pipe made up that I can swap in and out as needed. Yes that would be a great idea! Mods ??
