Tyrer's LCR : 225 : Stage 1 :

[tyrer]

A lot more grunt to be found than what I have achieved so far so working on that at the moment. Smooth power delivery is down to several things working together, the N249 bypass, Forge UNOS manual boost controller and the map AmD put on the car. Would definitely recommend looking into the MBC's as the overall power might not be as high as others but the way the car holds power is where it all matters

I just love the graph mate! been properly reading through yours... i want it haha

Looking really good mate, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh again at the next meet!

Cheers man, yeah alot has changed since the last one haha, thats the beauty of the meet... makes me have to do MORE!

Lovely looking LCR.
Those rear lights where did you get them? - They look awesome against your silver paint.

Great work on the detail too.

Its red laminex over the top half of the lights, going to have to come off as I cant get the indicators flashing orange, been looking at options but hate the red LED versions so maybe smoked tops.... sorry if your reading this Gaz I'll buy enough for both of us or just trim some small lines out for the orange to shine through.

So little update.

Thanks to Beefa_Gaz I'm now down about 30mm

And today thanks to awesome I won't be popping and ancillary hosing

And finally had to get me some new bits

dude i hope if you went to halfords for them bits you were armed with a trade card! lol if not think i may have a spare

 

[tyrer]

Don't have a trade card... Also still not pulled over lights, I think they are orange anyway now

put my dv and N75 pipes on last night....
how the fudge did you get them back in the bracket on the charge pipe??
i had to whop it off as the dv pipe was to big to get in there alone, what a diffrence though!!!

What kind of "difference"? I changed these hoses recently and didn't notice any difference at all, other than the engine bay looks a bit smarter. Or were yours damaged/split at all?

 

[tyrer]

ours were knackered man haha

Mine was like bubble gum!

 

[8bit]

Aha, yeh that'll help then! I was more "eliminating possibilites" when I changed mine, that plus tarting up the bay...

 

[t32er]

yea mine was soft as shite and had a little split BUT didnt look like it went through, i can only think it did but only when presserised.
my DV sounds diffrent too though...

 

[tyrer]

New rear lights, now 100% legal as opposed to the previous full red versions.

Laminex, steady hand and a sharp knife.

Cheers to Gaz for all the pics, heres one of my favourites from the session

more pics here from our mini photoshoot: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=321729

also bought my forge crank case (I think) breather pipe today, then upper boost hoses and TIP on pay day... or maybe the B5 TIP.

looking good mate. Your motors coming along nicely

 

[t0m]

Looks better for me defo. Liking it mate. Great work

Also nice buys! Keep it up, the car is coming along very well.

 

[t32er]

looking hot like bakers oven mate

 

[beefa_gaz]

that last pic is my favourite from the day mate, your crs so clean its unreal. love it!

 

[tyrer]

Anyone say hosing???

Basically all the boost and air hosing will soon be Forge. TIP on order - looked at the B5 but went for forge as I believe I is right for my set up. If I had a stage 2 car or Hybrid then the B5 TIP would of been purchased.

 

[tyrer]

Bad times on the old boost hosing!!

So just fitted - upper boost hosing and oil breather hosing (ancillary hosing done 2 weeks ago) Easy job as i dont have massive hands so it helped alot!

Lower boost hosing to be done at another time prob along with the TIP when that arrives.
