Haha, I don't have too much trouble getting the power down, which seems to shock people when I tell them. I have the Powerflex dogbone mount, which has settled in very well. And I recommend this to anyone without it! Makes such a difference. Pretty much eliminated wheelhop for me. Also have quite grippy Bridgestone front tyres. Might help.

However, a diff is going to be on the menu at some point I'm starting to think more and more.

i had the powerflex dogbone mount and yoko parada sepc 2s before my diff and they were awesome, shaved 0.2secs off my 1/4mile time at crail just with them alone, but with the diff its taken it into a different league now :) can't wait for a trip to the pod to test it fully

Good results Tom, was nice to finally meet you aswell and put a name to the face :) Im happy with my results too, but not if you get me haha, im happy with the fact the results are nice and consistant but not happy i aint been able to hit the magical 300bhp mark hehe. Closest i have been is 296.8bhp. Im sure soon it will do a 300bhp proof on paper :) Car was looking nice aswell ;)

I might go for the Yoko's next mate. Either those, Vred's or Goodyear Eagle's.

Your really making me want a diff!!! Stop it please!!! :rolleyes:

Cheers Brad, and likewise, good to meet you and your car. Your LCR is looking and sounding good mate. Do love that 'vtec this' sticker :cartman:

Your very close to the magical 300, maybe the new filter will edge you that bit closer ;)

Cheers for the comments :)

fantastic result tom! :D need to get me a badger 5 3" TIP now!

Thanks mate.
I think you should get one ;)

Good work ;)

Running the Jetex FR8001 cone from Bill, pushed right into the wing as far as it will go using the metal and silicone joiner pieces you get with the filter when buying from Badger. Jabba heatshield to steady it all up and keep hot air off and away you go ;)

AmD fitted the TIP when I was down there for other work, it turned up the day before so it was convenient..

Great news with those figures mate. Not so great for my bank balance though. :D

:cartman:

Your car will reward you for it though!

I bet they don't! I'd be surprised if they even get that close with the power your running :lol:

Great result mate, car looked good today!

Thanks Maz :)

Certainly a day for me to be happy with the car. Really makes me want to 'complete' the car now. ARB's, strut braces, full supepro bushing and then an LSD thanks to you and Roger!!!

Your car looked impeccable as always mate, really does get the attention at meets. Hats off to you.

I must get mine detailed soon.

Car was sweet today Tom, nice one on the result. Nice to meet you in person

Thanks El :)

Likewise to you too, nice meet you and check out the car up close finally as with others today. Was a really good meet I thought.

Looking forward to the summer one though when it warms up a bit!!

Hey Tom, looks like we missed each other again! :lol:

Congrats on the results mate, car looked awesome today. :)

:lol: Doh!

Looks like we did Mark. Sorry there was alot of people there today but next time I will come over to you 1st! Might be a meet or two before the next AmD meet in the summer.

Thanks for the comments! Over the moon with my run. I'm sure I saw your car, just didn't see you. All the black LCR's looked great so yours must have been one of those!! Well done on the figures yours made.

Tis no worries dude, thanks for the kind words :) It's always weird going to meets and shows when you don't know anyone, you chat on here quite happily and know what the car looks like but have NO idea about the owner! :lol:

Another time chap. :D

Maybe we should start a face to names thread?
