My mk1 LCR STAGE 2

[JCLCR]

Hi Everyone,

Thought i would share my LCR on here...

I had a Stage 1 MK4 Golf 1.8T AUQ for 3 years before this so knew a fair bit about 1.8T's. Before this come up i was about to travel up to Bolton to buy a Civic type-R as i wanted to get away from the MK4 platform lol
The LCR come up for sale about 2mins away from my house so well worth a look and i was completely won over by it and had to get it

I purchased it roughly a year ago from Marco cupra off here, shamelessly most of the mods was already fitted, i just had the pleasure of driving it completed

Loads of mods but key ones are:

18" BBS CK alloys, camber shims on the rear
Weitec Gt Coilovers
Rear de-wiperd
Later LCR steering wheel
K1 gear knob and gaitor with Short shifter
All 4 interior door handles sprayed in exterior colour
Race diagnostics Liquid gauge
All interior and exterior bulbs have been upgraded to bright light bulbs
Forge upper boost pipe (polished)
Badger 5 TIP
Full 3” exhaust system inc sports cat
Green cotton air filter fitted to an R32 intake pipe
Forge 008 DV (yellow spring)
Forge FMIC
N249 + SAI deleted and oil catch can installed
Polished inlet manifold with a New south power gasket
Carbon effect lower engine cover
All other hoses now silicon

Revo stage 2 map with SPS controller

Since i have owned it i've re-sprayed the whole front end, wings, bonnet and bumper to get rid of stone chips
New clutch plate and Slave cylinder
New thermostat and temperature sensor
Installed a powerflex steering mount
Replaced all 4 tyres- Vredestein ultrac vorti on the front and Nankang NS2 on the back
Replaced the front brake pads (standard brembo's but when the discs need replacing i'll be getting DS2500's)
Had the remap software checked, boost pressure tested for leaks and the front alloys aligned at Back draft motorsport in Milton Keynes
Replaced the passenger CV boot
Replaced drivers side ABS sensor
Replaced the rear discs and pads to dimpled and grooved

I'm not sure whats next, to be honest ive spent alot on it recently so i may just enjoy what i've got until show season and get some different wheels

Keen to see what people think and where i can take it...

Firstly welcome to the forum. Sounds like a great car, it's got a lovely spec. Get your post count up and post some pictures.

Ok so I've been busy today, managed to dodge the rain and got a winter detail in, wash, clay bar, polish and seal. Come out alright
Had to rush the pictures before I lost daylight

I could run lower but this is sort of winter mode, plus it's hard enough getting around as it is lol

Looks spot on, wheels suit it,
Plenty of show with the go.

Very nice mate. Not to keen on the wheels tho, prefer the standard alloys on the mk1.

Looks nice, what colour are the wheels?

 

[RDS]

I approve

 

[JCLCR]

Thanks for the comments guys,
the wheels are a shadow chrome finish, they really do shine after a clean. I like the original alloys but I prefer to stick out from every other lowered lcr aswell, might change them one day, fancy something Porsche
Boring things next, cv boot, ball joint, wheel bearing, service, mot and tax. Oh the joys of car ownership lol

That's why I'm staying OEM, everyone else is changing these days.
Something Porsche would be decent

how did you get ur photos up bro im new also. Using iphone 5 pics that is?

 

[JCLCR]

I've got the photo bucket app, upload your pic there and then copy the Img code, go to thread, click advanced and then insert photo (comes up with another box) paste your code. Job done.

I do <3 the red! A good mate of mine has just bought a red FR+. Wish my LCR was red, common black for me. Looks lush that back photo.
