Mike's Smoothed, Slammed, Candy white L.C.R Build.. MISSION COMPLETED - SOLD!!

[Mike R]

Save me a job then Dan .. haha.. na ill email him 2moz

yeah very good option, only thing to watch though is it will bring the drive shaft closer to the chassi, you may need to notch it, which is what alot of the air guys do, i run the spacers as that little bit of security, iirc the shallow sumps only offer 10mm if that

 

[welchy]

Surely notching will be needed, i had an mk4 gti and that needed doing and was no way near as low as yours. Looks friggin awesome so it would be a shame to raise it. The engine blocks are a v.good shout, but i would combine them with a shallow sump and a chassis notch, most bodyshops can notch for about £100 to allow room for the driveshaft...

 

[Mike R]

Ive just emailed the chap.. doesnt look like hes been on for a bit though... Jake do you fit them and can notch it

 

[jake]

we dont do mechanical im afriad bud, got a mate of mine to do them, if you google gwerks, plush automotive you can find a notch

 

[Mike R]

Okey doke mate.. next on the list is seats after that so may get them to make to custom rails up and fit them too

 

[Mike R]

Just ordered these... 15mm spacers for now, dont wanna put too much strain on parts..

 

[Murdered LCR]

How much mate ?

 

[Mike R]

£65 quid delivered mate.. couldnt get hold of that steve so got these of another chap..

 

[Mike R]

Crappy update..

Got my engine spacers through just need to get time to book them in to get fitted and my chassis notched now..

Ive Also fitted new rear brake discs as mine were getting worn..

No pics lately or huge updates as my card reader has broke...

But more progress over the next few weeks as work has now picked up ...

Lookin' good, even better in the flesh!

Had a look for that picture i was on about mate, i was unfortunately mistaken, it was the white one with the Porsche rims....

Great build thread though, what a change from when you first bought it! Keep it up!

 

[Mike R]

Cheers mate, was good to bump in to you ..

Hahah i thought that might have been the one, hopefully ill be indoors next year, have to have a convoy up there

 

[Phoenix27]

hopefully ill be indoors next year, have to have a convoy up there

Sounds like a plan! You planning to go to any more shows this year?

 

[Mike R]

Yeh theres a few more i wanna do.. USC.. Hellaflush Uk.. Inters.. Edition38.. Its just finding the time to get the little things finished with it.. then i can concentrate on some bigger things

 

[EL]

Went USC last year, don't think il go this year round. Found there were too many chavs down there spoiling it for everyone. First night someone died overdosing, when the party was going on a load of bottles were flying left and right, plus too many 1.4 on the strip making it hassle to get a go. Loads of t1t action tho on the plus note

 

[Mike R]

Yeh i know what you mean mate... plus the last 2 years its rained ... Seems to have turned in to a weekend piss up for chavs to be fair with less to do and look at each year... altho the foam tent was amusing last year

 

[Phoenix27]

altho the foam tent was amusing last year

Hahaha! Yes it was! My mates nearly suffocated... so much foam near the front! LOL!

Hopefully this year it'll be a bit better.

top top work!

 

[gezmeister]

Any more progress Mike?

 

[Mike R]

Nothing really worth putting up mate.. Fitted new discs, pads and few other bits i needed, the engine spacers should hopefully be on this week sometime, Been crammed with work which is great but the car hasnt got any new toys.... saving for some bigger plans now anyway
