So what can I junk on my LCR?

[Mark300zx]

On a few other cars I have owned there have been parts that were problematic or excess to requirements that could be removed, are there any on Leon/LCR?

 

[Mikey P]

n249,if youve not already done that?

 

[Ruddmeister]

You will wish you could do away with the MAF or Coilpacks but you can't.......I'd get rid of the airbox and feed and fit an open cone instead.

id have to agree,the sound you get is awsome,even with the bosch DV

thats another thing to bin and replace.

in respect of binning and not replacing bar the n249 i can't think of anything

thats next on the 'to do' list for me along with FMIC

 

[Mylo]

the bonnet lining can be binned for sure

good one, especially in this weather

 

[Ruddmeister]

I'd bin the OEM suspension

But it's bits you want add that make the car fun (aside from what I mentioned before)

Remap
Decent Pads
Decent Tyres
Anti-Roll Bars & Strut Brace

And you have a fun car

 

[Mikey P]

yea the pierellis definatley have to go!

 

[lordgibbness]

OEM suspension's fine IMO. Braces and ARBs and a stiffer DBM and you'll have a good road car.

 

[Mark300zx]

N249 not touched that, will do a search and see what it does, no one removes the EGR then?

 

[Hilla LCR]

I've found the pirellis to be really grippy?!

 

[Mark300zx]

FYI pirojellys are coming poorly in the latest tyre reviews!

 

[lordgibbness]

Pirelli's new 2009 Pzero Nero tyres are doing very well in tyre reviews. Nero's are the next step up from the Rosso's that was the OE tyre on the LCR.

Pirelli's in the past few years were well and truly beaten by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric (and a few other tyres), but the new Neros are coming top in most tyre tests. One to watch perhaps...

 

[Mikey P]

Pzero nero have been around for a few years now,i havent been in the tyre trade for a 2 years now so i cant realy comment on how good the later Pzero's are but the older 1s wernt that good

 

[Mark300zx]

It seems like I have N249 probs, boost seems to come in unpredictably, and when cold there is some hesitation!

 

[Mikey P]

get the bypass done! lol
