What next for my LCR???

[paulsnewcuprar]

Well,i thought i was finished with it,but i am now tempted to do some more,as i really do love the car,but i want noticeable improvements.

I bought my Cupra R 225(Ovni Yellow) completely standard a couple of months ago,and since then it has had a Custom Code Remap,Green Panel Filter,Forge Diverter Valve,Eibach Lowering Springs,19"OZ Superleggara's,EBC Pad's,and is always run on Super Unleaded,preferably Tesco 99 Octane...................so where do i go now,it doesn't bother me whether it is performance/handling or looks(but subtle).

I was thinking MAYBE a FMIC(but the cost compared with improvements put's me off).

Uprated Anti Roll Bars?

Quickshift??

Black Angel Eyes/Smoked Rears(bit tacky???).

Dog Bone(don't know what it is,or how it would improve).

Anything else??????

You could upgrade the engine to a 1.9 tdi 150

Dog bone engine mount - highly recommend the EIP one from westec
EIP Quickshift - from the same place
Audi S3 front strut brace £55 from your local Audi dealer + fitting + Bolts
Neuspeed 25mm front and 28mm Anti-Roll bars from Awesome Gti
Some Koni RSD dampers and Eibach springs from Awesome Gti

In the above order

What does the dogbone do mate??

dont smoke the rears, very tacky imho. could you post some pics mate. i used to have superlaggeras on my ibiza, wouldn't mind seeing them on a leon in nineteens

 

[paulsnewcuprar]

I would if i could mate,but i don't know how.

If you are looking to get some for yours,i would say that you will be very lucky to find them now,as when i bought them,they were the last set for a LCR that MSW had,as they have just been replaced by the new Ultraleggarra's!!

One of the engine mounts is made of soft rubber stuff to reduce vibration/make for a nicer ride. One of the downsides is that the engine can move in the soft rubber making the wheels hop (esp on a remapped car). By replacing it with a neoprene one you reduce this movement and give more grip. You can buy the insert from westec (neuspeed) or forge and fit it for ~£10 as long as you make sure you use the right torque settings, or do the whole mount (EIP/westec?) which is supposed to reduce the inherent vibration through the steering wheel this mod gives ~£140
