Not a hope in hell will an LCR do 167mph true speed! He'd be reading around 180 on clocks if they were to read that high!

. For the money the S3 strut brace really helps turn in too.

Upped my rear ARB to 28mm and front to 25mm and the car corners really flat, understeer isn't an issue. I had just the back done originally with std front ARB which is really skinny, made the car feel a little odd, kinda delayed turn in
Nice spec, good luck with the car
- I think it looks great, and have always thought that it should have the power to go with the looks
Wowzer songman, you dont do thigs by halvesSongman said:Sure will Vern! - if I can stay out of jail long enough to write about it, when I get the car back
The spec will be pretty comprehensive - I gave them `carte blanche` to do what they feel is right for me, and I know without reservation that they know what they are doing, so the outcome will be quite interesting
It wont be as hot as Bill`s motor, but should be quite quick all the same
Standard capacity/S3 pistons/Forged rods/smallport head - gas flowed/uprated valves/Dahlback manifold/Evoshield/Jabba FMIC/ Aquamist/Milltek 2.75" with single back box/Uprated clutch/Quaife diff
Not sure yet which turbo they are going to use!!
Got the Porsche 993 `Big Reds` upfront and EBC grooved/drilled at the rear with Red Dot pads
Dropped about 20mm on Eibach Pro Street Coilovers, using Eibach rear ARB, with the standard front.
8.5/18 Sportecs with P-Zero Corsa 235/40/18
Well that`s it for a start! -I`ll just have to see how I get on!!
Let's hope they spec you the PE1820 turbo, would be nice to see how this spool's on 1.8t compared to bill's 1.9t, sportecs alloys says it all, top notch, you get em from AMD?
Thanks Vern! - There is some debate at the moment with regards to which turbo to use, so I`m not sure what the output will be, but in truth it will be `plenty enough` for me, whatever it is - the car is rapid even now since the remap Jabba did with the Dahlbackvern said:Wowzer songman, you dont do thigs by halves
Goodluck with the conversion

I`d thought of going the whole hog and getting it bored, using the largeport etc, but the engine is really just nicely run in as it is now so it will be interesting to see just what output we get with this setup as an interim - If I feel i`m losing out in the `power stakes` then I will do the rebore etc next year.
I did get the wheels from AMD because I thought the looked good on the car, and also because they told me they fitted over the Big Reds - they were naughty because they don`t without spacers though they do fit over the standard LCR Brembos - the Big reds are approx,16 mm wider than the Standard Brembos!
However all is not lost because the Sportecs are tapped in 3 places on the hub face and they make an integral spacer kit which comes at a nominal 10 mm wide - this locates into a spigot on the wheel hub and is fixed by three machine screws, countersunk into the spacer face, allowing the spacer positive and permanant location, dead centre on the wheelhub face
I had these machined down to 6mm, giving about 3mm clearance on the calliper - this works well - no wobbles or vibration - and I am fussy believe me!! - the car steers and handles fine - however the front track with the spacers+ 8.5" rims+ 235 tyres is right at the limit of the standard wheel arches
The rear is fine
those wheels aint cheap, nor is dahlbach or brakes, come to think of it it's all top shelf 
i am sure you once had an APR re map too ah well least you choose wisely and did not end up with a bmw like me 
I wanted to do what you have done, head said yes mrs vern said no lol
