Hi Everyone,
Thought i would share my LCR on here...
I had a Stage 1 MK4 Golf 1.8T AUQ for 3 years before this so knew a fair bit about 1.8T's. Before this come up i was about to travel up to Bolton to buy a Civic type-R as i wanted to get away from the MK4 platform lol
The LCR come up for sale about 2mins away from my house so well worth a look and i was completely won over by it and had to get it
I purchased it roughly a year ago from Marco cupra off here, shamelessly most of the mods was already fitted, i just had the pleasure of driving it completed
Loads of mods but key ones are:
18" BBS CK alloys, camber shims on the rear
Weitec Gt Coilovers
Rear de-wiperd
Later LCR steering wheel
K1 gear knob and gaitor with Short shifter
All 4 interior door handles sprayed in exterior colour
Race diagnostics Liquid gauge
All interior and exterior bulbs have been upgraded to bright light bulbs
Forge upper boost pipe (polished)
Badger 5 TIP
Full 3” exhaust system inc sports cat
Green cotton air filter fitted to an R32 intake pipe
Forge 008 DV (yellow spring)
Forge FMIC
N249 + SAI deleted and oil catch can installed
Polished inlet manifold with a New south power gasket
Carbon effect lower engine cover
All other hoses now silicon
Revo stage 2 map with SPS controller
Since i have owned it i've re-sprayed the whole front end, wings, bonnet and bumper to get rid of stone chips
New clutch plate and Slave cylinder
New thermostat and temperature sensor
Installed a powerflex steering mount
Replaced all 4 tyres- Vredestein ultrac vorti on the front and Nankang NS2 on the back
Replaced the front brake pads (standard brembo's but when the discs need replacing i'll be getting DS2500's)
Had the remap software checked, boost pressure tested for leaks and the front alloys aligned at Back draft motorsport in Milton Keynes
Replaced the passenger CV boot
Replaced drivers side ABS sensor
Replaced the rear discs and pads to dimpled and grooved
I'm not sure whats next, to be honest ive spent alot on it recently so i may just enjoy what i've got until show season and get some different wheels
Keen to see what people think and where i can take it...
