ah just seen you have but its for sale again, ......i take it he found out its 2 cars welded together.
LOL maybe mate. I hear he traded in his M3 for a brand new Focus ST and never taxed the LCR so who knows mate.
Little dissapointed that he took out and sold the interior though.

Well the plans have started and are on going lol. There is soo many second hand performance parts off the MLR and most of them are like new.
This is a 260 model so starts with 261bhp and 260lb/ft. It was down to EU regulations so to strangle the car they put a twin cat exhaust system on the car and reduced the downpipe to around 1.5" in one place. Apart from that it is the same as the Evo 8 GSR @ 280bhp then you have the FQ-300, FQ-320 and FQ-360.
Mods so far....
HKS Downpipe £70 (£300 new)
HKS Super Dragger Cat back system £100 (£550 new)
HKS Panel airfilter £10 (£30 new)
Milltek de-cat £65
Walbro fuel pump £80
RalliArt re-map (Free)
She is now putting out around 330bhp and 330lb/ft torque. So 70bhp for £325, is a bit of a bargin really.
Next on the list is a 3 port boost solonid and cams. With the solonid and another free tewwk on the map it will be around 360/360 and then if I go with cams and then anothe rfree map tweek will be around 400bhp and 400lb/ft.
The solonid is only £80 so will get the in the next couple of months. Don't know on the cams yet as they are £400!!
Looking at an Evo 9 rear bumper too but they are £300 second hand when they are around, carbon fibre front splitter but they are £280+ and i'm sure I can think of other things too lol.
Love it though, it is soo different from the LCR, but not as refinied and easy to drive, so it does take a bit of getting used too lol.

Mate, you need to do a bit more homework on the MLR, 'cos your knowledge of the model line-up is a bit sketchy
I drive an VIII FQ-330 myself, but I'm looking to come back to the SEAT fold with an LCR. Maybe I'll find someone on here who wants to move on to an Evo like you did, and sort a deal.
