Probee's GT2871R LCR

[probee]

its all coming together mate... im so pleased with my DP ive been worrying about the fitment all week. i did make a mistake though and this is one to bear in mind if anyone is thinking of going down the same route, i didnt realise (like a t**t) that if i didnt put an EGT boss in the DP then it didnt have a home as there wasnt one in the Mani or turbo.......

this means i have had to temperarily sacrifice a Lambda port and modify a blank to fit in my EGT..... i was so angry earlier....

 

[Skorchio]

That is a pain! Take it you was going to use the other port for a AFR?

 

[probee]

I was......

I'll find a way around it. It's all plumbed in now and the clutch has been fitted... It's just a tarting up job now. Greig wants to go anal on it

 

[Skorchio]

Hmm Yummy, greg wants to, you are going to

Should have come to night mate was a good laugh!

 

[probee]

It was pointless mate... SJ didnt get in until late and i couldnt eat or drink anyway.

i had to buy a new front ARB as the standard one was goosed, a trip to VW found me a nice one from an R32 (23mm)

I should get my car back tomorrow

Sweet!!! Then the big run in...???

 

[probee]

the engine is well run in..... i think you just need to wind the turbo up.

 

[Skorchio]

Pick me up!!!!

 

[jonjay]

There wont be a breaking in process. Should be a map and off you go

Nick you shouldnt have sold your car!

 

[probee]

I was just going to run it @ 12psi until I know all is well.

 

[Skorchio]

Yeh i know mate But im loving the MPG and low running costs!

 

[probee]

erm........:gay:

 

[Willie]

Aaron, 23mm R32 front ARB with KW coilovers and, strutt brace and rear ARB feel AWESOME!!!

You will enjoy

 

[UncleFester]

It will feel too safe, amazingly surefooted but ultimately not dramatic enough - on the plus side all that new power should retain the scare factor

 

[probee]

I know a rear ARB is needed but I'll see how it feels... I'm looking forward to today

 

[Willie]

I forgot you had the rear strutt brace.
Your car will feel amazing, handling and power

 

[jonjay]

Aaron - we can meet up soon and you can have a go in mine.

I got Front and Rear ARBs 25/25mm, Upper/Lower Front Struts, Rear Strut, Diff, Bushes, Variant 3s...ok its a deisel but handling shouldn't be much different.

 

[Murdered LCR]

How much the arb out of intrest as I have a knocking and think it could be my arb

 

[probee]

Willie, I don't have a rear arb or a strut... I know that o need them though

Maz, sounds like an awesome plan, we need to arrange something anyway

Dan, all in, something like £85

no car today

 

[UncleFester]

Aaron - the rear ARB is really worth fitting ..... it makes the car so much more chuckable and a lot tidier through the corners .... and yes, they compliment coilovers very very well. I would also look at getting those topmounts from 034Motorsport - they really do stop the suspension geometry from moving around under load.
