Right, plans are getting put in place properly. I'm picking up the engine off Mike and Tim (Ronin) next weekend, it'll be getting a gates timing belt, oem metal water pump, new stat and housing, coolant temp sensor, plugs, filters, pick up and all the other bits that I feel need changing. I'll be painting the one of 4 cylinder head covers I have in either vht red or black and doing one of 3 inlet manifolds I have in black, to match a spare tb I have that'll be going black too.
In the mean time I'll be giving Dan at BBT a ring and sorting out a K418T and some 550's, to go with a 4bar FPR and a Walbro 255 fuel pump.
Clutch is sorted, I'll be taking a trip down to B5 next weekend to order a 240mm paddle clutch off Bill and depending on the condition of a spare DMF and pressure plate I have, I'll decide on wether or not to buy a new one. I also have another 02m gearbox which was refurbished 20k ago, which I will eventually get a quaiffe lsd installed into but that's a £1000 job so it can wait lol.
Another few parts to go on with the new build are as follows, liquid gauge, reinstall my boost gauge, 25mm H&R RARB, phonelic gasket, and some silly bits like a
cupra r dead pedal off the platinum one I bought.
I'm planning to do all of the work myself, and take it to Bill for mapping at some point, and figure wise I'd like to achieve somewhere in the region of 350. I think I'll need WMI too for this, which is a little bit of cheating I think as I won't run it all the time but brag the highest figure achieved on the day....
I've done a sensible thing and bought myself a Renault Kangoo van so my LCR doesn't carry on being used as a van, and I'm picking my wheels up from paint this Weekend and I'll be flogging the BBS RS2 splits it's on at the moment. Hopefully some exciting updates to come.
