Time for me to do a proper readers ride now. I have had some posts up before but nothing in detail.. so here we go..
After owning many cars, my last being a e46 m3 which was a real pleasure to drive and own, it was time to move on and buy a car that i have wanted for a while and a bit more affordable to run.. a LCR
I used to check all over for one, they were mainly way down south or ones with high miles, which i didnt fancy. Then came along a 2002 210bhp LCR in black with very low miles for its age 62k, full history, mot'd and tax'd, cambelt done 2 weeks before he sold it to me, 4 previous owners and with few subtle extras.The car has never seen a track day and it will stay that way. The guy was going through a bad patch and needed money asap. After a few phone calls back and forth, he accepted my offer and the car was mine (at a steal of a price
Loved it from the minute i test drove it.
The car had a custom remap
Angel eye headlights - i didnt like to be honest (he didnt have standards)
forge 007p
The only things that were wrong with it, the car wouldnt lock with the remote and the passenger side upper tweeter grill was missing.
I kept it as i bought it for a few months until joing SCN... then the modding bug hit lol.
First mod i carried out was changing the long aerial for a stubby one.
Then i put some h1 6000k hids in which was a nice touch
Stayed like this for a few weeks before i started getting some serious mods. Next came:
* weitec 50/40 mm drop springs
* Tx autosport fmic
* blueflame exhaust system inc downpipe & de cat (ordered 23/11/10 and recieved today 1/2/11)
* bmc cda induction kit
* liquid gauge
* fabia rear wiper conversion and aero front wipers
* new floor mats
* carbon fibre vinyl for S badges and chrome grill surround
* new standard headlights
* tripple led sidelights
* led number plate lights
* new front splitter
* 2 Pirelli p zero's
* 80mm 3" cold air feed from fogs
* wheels painted in a toyota colour
* interior dash, door handles painted piano black
* front grills also painted piano black
* polyflex dog bone mount
* de badged from rear and wings
* private plate
Still to do:
* Silicone TIP
* Wind deflectors
* front windows tinted
* Fully polyflex bushes etc
* stage 2 remap
* 225bhp steering wheel - if one ever comes available........
The car is currently in the garage getting the exhaust etc put on.. will post pics of it when i get it back... cant wait
Hope these pics work... Enjoy
