5 min if you have vag com lol I don't :) , I will let you see my big package if you do haha

Well that's put me off now :ban: :lol:

You don't use vagcom to do the windows, you can but it's LONG. Ok this is in the wrong language what we all used, but it's spot on apart from that, lol.

When your back on the road give me a shout and we can sort it out.

I was looking at unpacking the exe and changing all the button labels to English a couple of months ago, when I first found the programme.

Never got round to it though.. Plus I think it's illegal ;)

Nice car too. Love Platinum Silver Leons

Sweet nice one dude ;)

No worries!

Haha, I wish someone had done that before I started using it!

Cheers mate. After having a black LCR before this one, I prefer the plat grey simply because it's easier to keep clean!!

Be careful with the Mini, they handle like mad ;) Mate of mine had it & I still say they handle better than the LCR, even with the mods I have done to mine.

So come on whats next mate?

Cheers mate.

The black LCR never had a reader's ride on here, but I was a registered user once I bought it and used the forum a wee bit..

Decided on your wheel colour yet mate:think:?

High power silver mate. Not happening anytime soon though I doubt.

Yeah, well it's my sisters but I take it for the odd blast :whistle: Does handle so well and much tighter on the turn in and rigid than the LCR... I wish my car handled like it tbh!

Next I think I will get the fans fixed. They are absolutely fudged. :( So much to do mate, but I've only just started my new job so not rushing my money away really just yet. Car has become a weekend car too now. I'll hope to keep my enthusiasm up for it though to get it finished by the end of the year perhaps.

How is the new job going mate? Fans still doing funny stuff like I saw at AMD?

Love the job cheers mate. Induction takes all week before I'm set free ;) But it's really good. My brain is boiled right now though, going to reply to a few things on here then go to bed, lol.

Yeah fans are still rotten. Have been like that for a good while now mate :(

I know there is the nime box fix but some say it hasn't fixed theirs... Was reading that thread in detail last night. So instead I might have the lot replaced at AmD at the end of this month. I can't risk the car overheating the way it is in the summer.

Stupid fans cut in every couple of mins in the high temps sitting in traffic when I'm not even booting it. Really hacking me off now and needs sorting. So is the intercooler rattle.

Tbh I hate the car at the moment, lol. Needs so so so much work to be complete in my eyes.

Makes me think if it's easier buying something else which would not need anything but a remap and could be out the box brilliant.

It's just the satisfaction improving the LCR I did get I suppose which will probably keep the project going. Also when I look at it in some pics I can't get enough of it and MK2's look no where near as good as these so definitely this year at least I won't be thinking of buying a MK2.

Rather an ED30 Golf. Could well be getting one next year.....

Finally got some pics up of my TX FMIC with fogs retained, have a look at my thread:)

Cheers just replied on your thread.. Wondering what you did differently then if anything to the recommended fitting?

Your lower fmic hard piping seems to sit further back, like recess further away from the fogs closer inwards to the car. Mine was not possible to do this. My piping looks different. If you can find the FMIC pics of my install in my thread, I think it might even be on the 1st page or 1st few pages, then take a look at my FMIC setup during install with bumper off but FMIC connected. Pipework routing looks different to me do you agree?
