Martin's LCR ** Update - Now Hybrid**

[LCRMartin]

The day has come to finally put the FMIC on and it went well umm it was a bloody nightmare haha

Front End Stripped:

Had to modify the Crash Bar alil as the welding lines on the FMIC were stopping us getting the bolts through the hole:
Nuttal Grinding Away...

End Result Of Fabricating:

Me and Nuttal bolting on the fmic:

Right Side Piping:

Left Side Piping:

Fabricating the Bumper Ducts:

End Product, After The Long Process Of Trying To Get The Damn Bumper Back On:

ala in all the day was productive but so long, the bumper was the biggest issue would not go back on at all

YES... that is a giant split in my splitter, had a fight with a curb at tesco and it won so will be a splitter going on soon.

Great job dude, car looks much meaner with a tasty intercooler don't it!

 

[LCRMartin]

yea your right mate and after all the stress in the end i do love the look of it but you know what im just noticed its slightly off center so give it acouple weeks i may have to move it across haha but least im done aload of weight saving with the fabrication and losing my fogs

What size Intercooler is it? I've got a tx one coming in post.

 

[LCRMartin]

Same size as the one you got coming mate very snug fit behind the bumper lol

 

[big rich]

Best dig the old angle grinder out then lol so that's the medium one I take it? Glad the large toyosport one was out of stock now lol

 

[RS6]

Agreed looking good will make all the difference!

yeah the bumper is a right pain in the arse trying to get it back on again i remember!

Looks great buddy. I have the Liquid Gauge in mine and its a great piece of kit. I'm not 100% on how to use/read all the info yet tho.

Did the TIP and filter you ordered come with the added short silicone pipe that joins both together or does the jetex just fit right onto it???

Like the one here

no i didnt get any extra bit of silicone, was i supposed to ? i did wonder how the sensor connected to the Tip and the cone, do i need to contact bill about it ?

Your ranks rear wiped, is it just a wiper or did you change the whole arm ?

 

[phantom1]

Sorry predictive text cut into the last message and cocked it up, what I meant was your fabia rear wiper fitment, is it just a wiper or a complete fabia wiper arm ?

 

[LCRMartin]

think it was the whole arm, ill have a look tonight, my mind is frazzled atm

 

[RDS]

thats picture theft

The extra piece didnt come with the TIP it was cut off the top elbow as the mk1 TIP looked like this:

The top elbow was left by Bill for the user to cut to suit their application (cone or airbox). I did get an extra piece of sillicone and a piece of alloy tube to push the cone further into the wing but as of yet I've not fitted it. I had to order those pieces and subsequently they cost me extra money.

hope that helps
