[Mike R]

Looks like thats another thing to put on my to do list.......

 

[turk]

Think it's been decided mate, good thing I have nothing better to do! lol

 

[Mike R]

Centre exit styleeey..

Aint keen on this tho..

 

[Mike R]

Hahaha yep

 

[LEE69]

No, the twin looks very nice.

 

[Mike R]

I dont know if it looks to boy racery tho.. been there done that, dont wanna get that label again.... Also the wheel well would cause probs, and id need another blueflame cat back .... Very expensive but so tempting...

 

[wayne lcr]

i looked into it wanted a twin and they said they would have to cut the wheel well out and weld a plate in to get the exhaust to sit rite.

 

[tyrer]

DPJ had it done on is Cupra.

Id do it mate if you can, then just make a custom boot build that encorporates the wheel as a central focus. Paint the wheel the same colour as the interior build

 

[Phoenix27]

The centre exit looks cool but it reminds me of a K1 replica... Still diggin' the twin exit... as long as it's smooth and well put together i don't think you could be labelled as a boy racer. You're too old anyway... hehehe!

 

[Mike R]

OLD! lol.. Im only 22! haha.. Yeh, it be easier to do on a cupra bumper as they dont have the lip round the exhaust do they?.. and i quite like the rounded shape the cupra bumper gives.. Dual exits winning the votes so far...

 

[deansutherland]

Def do that mate it dus look chavy with 2 big 4" jap style but with the oval it looks pritty sweet I had planned it but no point on mine so il wait till I get a lrc I'm not to keen on smoothed boot but I think it will work on urs cos the rest off the cars smoothed is that the original rear bumper?

 

[Mike R]

Yes mate its the original bumper.. Id probably get a cupra bumper if i was to do the dual exit as on the LCR it has the exhaust lip round the exhaust, that would be a night mare and cost loads for someone to make on the otherside..

Get another LCR bumper or just the bit round the exhaust and cut it out and mould it into you bumper....way smoother and nice touch. Wouldnt go skimping for a cupra bumper if your doing that

 

[Mike R]

That would be so hard to get to look right as the lip naturally curves the other way.. sure it can be done but god knows how much itd cost... i aint brave enough to try myself lol

 

[h0tr0x]

think i prefer the single in the middle, they both looks great though

 

[Mike R]

Not much to update but a few little bits done this afternoon as i finished work early

First off.. I gave my steering wheel and gearknob some tlc.. been meaning to do it or ages as they were basicly bright red.. they came up way better

Then after reading how a few people de baffled there charge pipe I thought i may as well ..

The aftermath

Also sanded & repolished my inlet manifold as they scratched it when they changed the cambelt ages ago..

And removed my strut brace ready for some funky paint .. and the cars bodywork shall be finished off soon hopefully maybe with a few little changes...

 

[Murdered LCR]

How did you do the charge pipe mate

 

[Mike R]

Smash the **** outta it ...

Naa, take it off, get a small flat head screwdriver and keep smashing your way to the bottom, break it all up in to little peices and shake it all out.. clean it all out thoroughly to get all the crap out then put it back on.. Simples

 

[Mike R]

Oh, and i bought some new numberplate lights as mine where flashing and doin my head in.. These were £28 but hopefully much better.. ( and there so bloody bright!! )

And a random pic

How did you do the charge pipe mate

I've done a step by step guide in my thread Dan.

Great work Mike. It's frightening just how brittle the baffled metal is... Notice any difference at all?
