looking good mate and about time

i like the red wheels

when you getting it on the rollers, and you decided on what diff going for?

 

[MarkWales]

I like the stripes much better than just 2 equal stripes

wheels look smart too

also the red strip around the fog vents all ties in nicely

 

[phantom1]

Really unique looking car, love the red wheels and red stripe, looks like a racing beast, well done mate

great car Rick .
Have a read of Bill's thread on 3 inch custom tip's for the LCR. It will make a huge difference to your power delivery and peak bhp levels, its a must for your motor. Your gt28rs is getting starved by the standard uprated tip, all BT gt28rs installs use the 3 inch intake for good reasons.

Good lists of mods there mate, what sort of power is it producing. oh and that intercooler is bloody massive!

 

[Murdered LCR]

I like that I think , lol wheels look great fmic is huge , Glad some one is doing some thing different

 

[Mike R]

Thats awesome, like Dan said, credit for bein different

 

[welchy]

really really liking that and usually id hate anything apart from oem...

 

[AlexGSi2000]

Sometimes I think stripes are abit OTT - but you have actually pulled that off really well.

Looks very nice - and clean!

Cheers for your comments guys. Really chuffed with the way it turned out. Shame I've got it back at the wrong time so can't really push it but I suppose it'll give me time to bed everything in.
The red wheels and stripes won't be to everyone's taste but I love how it all blends in with the engine bay and how it stands out from everything else. Played around with a few ideas on Forza 3 and its come out exactly how I wanted it and hope it doesn't look too "chavy"

Garage recon it should be pushing around 330/340bhp but it's all about the proof so will get it in in the new year. Haven't looked into diffs yet but looking to get one early next year as you've said it will improve it no end.

Yeah its definately something I will do in the future but as I'm still running on standard internals its probably a good idea to limit certain areas. Once I know the internals can handle more then I'll sort out the areas which are restrictive.

wow, thats some work on the car mate. Top job!

 

[wayne lcr]

glad to see some1 doing somthing different good work mate.

 

[super_electric]

looks great, love the black and red style with a very tidy car!!

 

[JamJay]

Looking good Rik and great to see someone using this kit. I have a few Q's...

How much have you had to retard the power in order to save your internals?

What do you expect (power wise) when you upgrade the rods and let the setup operate fully?

How does it feel compared to when it was standard? I'm guessing 0-60 (being FWD) isn't fantastic but rolling start = animal?

How much was the work inc parts?

 

[Booya]

I would love my LCR to look like that! Nice work.

 

[aaronipswich]

Love the intercooler
How hard was it to fit

 

[yessar_kd]

Awesome car mate!
