Well i had it serviced on saturday to find all they found was n/s tie rod bushes worn, glad really because this was the reason my front tyres got trashed so quick which only got tracked in November, so set of eibach springs to go on then tracked up me thinks, got new parcel shelf tray of the bay for £15 posted still in the box well chuffed for a quirky little mod, brought deburgh999 liquid gauge also so cant wait for that to come and get fitted, also got a new set of brembo pads for the rears but ordered these before I seen my calliper return springs missing so not needed now but ill fit them anyhows and whilst i was on the bay i brought the power flex dog bone kit just because it was cheap lol, I've also ordered a non resonated centre section super sprint to fit to my back box just to keep the original looks with hopefully a minimal sound difference doubt it will be much due to the pure size of the rear silencer but I've got to try it out.....

Ill get the pics up once got the exhaust and springs fitted and then still got my 20mm spacers to go on once all fitted and tracked.......

Liquid gauge fitted today really easy job and the best bit of kit I think I've ever brought....
pics with it stripped down...

This is just how neat they look...

This is more than I expected from my std LCR this was forth gear at around 6k 232bhp @ 14psi max but holds @ 12psi did expect less bhp to be honest...

If anyone is thinking of buying one of these then don't esitate just do it...
Ran out of road but it shows 202 lb/ft ill try and beat it later I know they should be around 207lb/ft...

Also removed my bonnet linning to have a bit more noise and looks bit brighter...

Looking good dude, take it you took the dash off and popped the vent out?? BTW you really have to push the car to the redline to get the max torque

 

[CupraRmark]

Yeah took the dash apart, the vent just come out with a flat screwdriver to be honest with no issues, std LCR according to a google search is 221bhp and 207lb/ft so my 232hp and 202lb/ft are very close figures I didn't think it was going to be 200bhp to be honest but 7 yrs old and still got the horses it was ment to have and more....happy days

That is pretty close mate, the panel filter and 008 DV must be doing their job properly then Liquid gauge is an awesome bit of kit though!!

 

[CupraRmark]

Yeah just gotta spend some time playing with it I didn't get any instructions lol

Well this came today the quality looks really good I may have to cut a small amount of it but the welding looks sweet,i brought a full std system last year which had been used for a year or so and with the intentions to keep std to look at I needed a exhaust not desperately but the bracket is started to break away so I then decided to remove the centre section whilst I'm on doubt it will make much difference in sound but if I've got to do I might aswell change it now so its cost £130 the make is supersprint

Right so I finally got around to fitting my rear brake pads so I thought it would be rude not to fit my 20mm spacers for the rears so here's a few pics I think it looks ace now, ill repost some pics after Monday when the H&R lowering springs get fitted.....

Just a quick update the car went in today for the service defects to be completed which was n/s lower arm bushes and tie rod worn, so thought whilst I'm paying for this to be done I might aswell have it lowered so 25mm h&r springs went on also my dog bone power flex bush and my centre exhaust section without the silencer, this has made the standard exhaust a fair bit deeper not massively louder outside but can here the turbo spooling up more. And hear the turbo whistle from the tail pipe, the centre section was made from supersprint had it of the e of bay, great fit and as stated nice sound to it......
The pictures of how it looks today

Thanks for looking these are great spring had a few sets now on different cars and they look ace and also drivability seems nice and tight were the std set up always seemed very loose before...

I have noticed more vibration on take off with the power flex dog bone kit, but the clutch also feels more positive on take of suppose this is how worn the original was also the gear selection is better,

Been parked up for nearly 2 weeks I'm sadly missing it, got it out the garage yesterday gave it a wash, since having the suspension and exhaust fitting I've done 70 miles before the downpipe decided to be in two pieces, not happy as these are £375 plus vat from seat so now waiting for the 2.5" cobra 200cel sports cat downpipe for £410 should be delivered tomoz hopefully.....did question the seller about it passing mot's and he assures me it will but I doubt it having the std system as 2 cats ur we will see in November, will get hold of a std downpipe at sometime aswell for spare mot
