Soo i sold the Ibiza about a month or so ago now and the plan was to wait till end of july until i get another car!

That lasted about 2 weeks! I see Lee M's LCR for sale and couldnt resist going for a look.
To cut a short story even shorter I parted with my cash and its now mine. Thanks Lee :)

Credit goes to Lee as he really has taken good care over the car and treated it very nicely indeed :)

Spec as purchased:

Custom Code Phase 2
Forge FMIC
Forge TIP
Forge 007p
Blueflame TB - 200cell
Green Panel Filter
THS Boost Hose's
Weitec Hicon GT Coilovers
S3 Strut Brace
Neuspeed 28mm Rear ARB
KW 25mm Front ARB
EBC Grooved Discs
Ferrodo DS2500 Pads
Nomad Twin Pillar Pods
Autoguage Boost Guage
Autoguage Oil Temp Guage
Goodyear Eagle F1's

I have now added:

Jetex Open Cone Filter
3" Cold Air Feed
Carbon Wrapped front S Badge

Not many plans for this as its well sorted as it is for me :) Just plan on keeping it clean and fresh.

Got my private plate to transfer over next week, also waiting for silicone coupler to space the filter close to the wing.

Here's a couple of pics for now:

Week after might be better as I've got running issues at the moment with non functional water/meth and misfiring under load, joy. Hoping to sort this week though.

How are you enjoying yours?

Cracking spec of car you have there.
Only things I see missing are new wish bone bushes and uprated engine mounts.
These will give you a more planted feel on cornering and accelerating/braking.
You could also do N249 valve bypass

Beautiful LCR with the right mods - well done on the purchase.

How easy is it to carbon wrap the Seat badge as that's what i wish to do next? Also where did you purchase the carbon sheet from?

Thanks

Hi Jamie,

Glad your liking the motor, I does look great still :)

I see Willie suggested the N249 bypass on the car.........DONT bother mate, i've already tried it on that car and it ran like a bag of ass, over boosting and cr@p mpg. Put it back to standard and it was much better. Some people have done it sucessfully, but not on that car.

Let me know how you get on with the rolling road

Cheers

Lee
