Yeah for sure mate, it's a worthy car!

Looks like the trip was all worth it then :)

Be good to all meet up again in the near future and check out the cars again.

Looks really good, came up well and the pics show it off nicely :) I've never really been a fan of silver cars in general but there are some it looks good in, LCR is one of them.

Cheers mate, I never wanted one in Silver to be honest. Red was my first choice then Platinum but now I've got a Silver one and know how to get it looking nice and shiney I wouldnt have another colour :D

Cheers mate, means alot. Was great to meet up you all will have to let me know what shows your going to this year and I'll see if I can make it to a few.

You call that filth? That's mine on a good day lol

True mate, your passenger seat is a disgrace :lol: you need to get it sorted, or is that another thing getting done when you move:p

Made a couple of purchases. Trying to wittle down the wish list.

Civic Aerial:

It's the middle one. Top ones OEM the bottom one was originally bought to replace the OEM one but I wasnt keen on the look and the reception was awful, it lasted less then a week!

Sorry mate, I missed that. The inlet/outlet on that catch can are 15mm, worked fine on the car but I've now got a custom can with 19mm inlet/outlet.

New airfilter turned up (finally). I'm a bit disapointed in its size though, its and FR15001. It has a 150mm neck so I can run it with the BPI flow stack:

I'm thinking a maybe should have went for the normal 80mm neck one and forgot about the flow stack :think: however it is rated to 430bhp, as they say good things come in little packages :D. I've just fitted it to the car so will run it for a bit to see if I like it. If I do it wont be staying blue ;) (engine bay OCD)

In other news I've just been promoted at work so my bank balance will be getting a new injection of cash:funk: I'm considering what to save up for first on the car, options are possibly:

1. LSD and Clutch, or
2. Rods and exhaust manifold

thoughts welcome.

Cheers
Richard:)

Congrats buddy on the promotion!!!!

That is a tough choice. Both options will be awesome. If your clutch is fine at the moment and your not really tracking the car I would say go for the power upgrades, so rods and exhaust manifold

Cheers mate, :think: clutch is spot on at the minute but I like the idea of the LSD and getting the power down. While its all apart I was thinking the clutch may aswell be done too.

Congrats mate, well done! :)

On the mods, has to be LSD and clutch... you have the power to see off many cars, an LSD would put the car in another level of getting that power down.. I have been in my mates' Revo stage 2 LCR with a Wavetrac and it would murder mine soon as it gets twisty :( It's night and day difference. Then the clutch would get done next for me, would really compliment the car's LSD and power and bring it all together.

Rods will be fine but of course no harm doing them.... Mine have been fine for ages but I've followed the advice of people I trust. As long as you haven't got a massive spike in you're boost I'm very confident they will be fine for ages yet..

There isn't a proven RELIABLE exhaust mani on the market yet so I'd hold off there IMO if it was me.
