NickLCR's Red LCR225

[cap r 225]

Do the seat's stay out these day's then Nick?

 

[NickLCR]

Seats are back in now because I had to give a few people a lift upto Wigan yesterday, they'll be coming back out though, because it might be on track again next week

Fitted a Forge 007p this morning, lovely sound from it still Seem to handle the pressure a bit better too!

 

[NickLCR]

Fitted some HID's today, went for 5000k H7r's, really happy with them, need to get the alighnment checked because I think i've knocked the beam to point a little low.

Anybody reccomend some bright, white sidelights to go with them?

 

[TubbyTwo]

Looking good mate!

 

[NickLCR]

I've decatted my car with a Scorpion replacement pipe but I have a really annoying, loud "tinny" noise.

It happens at low throttle in all gears and at a standstill. I've grabbed a video off it, can anybody diagnose this?

 

[harty190486]

nick are you running the standard system apart from the decat if so how does it feel mate, also what gaskets did you use to seal this thing any probs with the eml coming on

 

[NickLCR]

Yeh completely standard system apart from that decat pipe, sounds awesome apart from that noise in the video at low revs. I've used the oem gaskets, should I of used others?

No problem with the EML coming on with an angled O2 spacer to move the sensor away from the gas flow

have been wondering about doing this for a while now mate that was all so just wonderd what gaskets, whre did you get them from and where did you get the angled spacer from, sorry about all the questions. i think the noise is there just because the is no restriction and the gas is flowing alot more freely now you get the same kind of thing when fitting a fmic with all alloy pipes the boost eccoes through them a bit more, if it feels good tho and sounds good on boost i wouldnt worry mate

I just used my gaskets that where already on the car with the de-cat, no new ones.

Bought this spacer from eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O2-S...ps=63&clkid=8398134586871114086#ht_699wt_1165

Works fine, had no EML at all, and the car its loads more torquey to go with

[NickLCR]

Right, so now I really want a wheel refurb. Sod the overdone anthracites, black, white etc, I want something different like Ape's.

Only a quick PS of the green, what other colours would do it? Yellow looks a little too goldy to me

 

[George 3G]

I can't believe I've just seen the above photo . That my was future plan for a set spare LCR wheels with R888s .

Looks brilliant, I must admit.
