    I know Ilya. We were having a competition to see who would do the roof first! He beat me by a couple of weeks but mine is lighter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I believe you can do the conversion with an Audi S3 floor pan and rear end. Someone on here did it a few years ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    robertj's LCR. New track toy in the garage

    Good idea. I guess you maybe able to sell them to others too then, to help finance the repairs!

    robertj's LCR. New track toy in the garage

    Very entertaining. Nice to see good quality components being used and some thought going into it. Slightly concerned by the amount of effort going into the bodywork if you’re going to race it though! Any small nudges will put paid to all that lovely filling and blending! If it’s just time attack...

    robertj's LCR. New track toy in the garage

    After seeing Grahams81-Leon 4wd thread raising it's head I thought I'd dip back in to my rather dormant thread! I actually stillown my LCR although it's been sitting looking sorry for itself under a cover for a couple of years after blowing a head gasket at Thruxton. My petrol head fix now...

    driveshaft oil seal replacement

    It is easiest to just replace the whole driveshaft. they are about £30 from J & R on EBay and will save you a lot of mess and hassle. Plus you get new inner and outer CV joints!

    My LCR Since '05 with Static+ Front Air Lift - Project Gone to a New Home.

    That's what I thought. Hope there's not too much flex in the parts once on the move. Looks great though! :D

    Just a quick update today. The Clio has its new livery . And then yesterday we bought this....... Found on Pistonheads. Not as good as the other one but its a good starting point and plenty of benefits of racing two cars the same, like parts sharing and as they are the...

    Jetex Induction Kit/Cone Filter.

    Jabba do a kit with heat shield included. I think it's generally known that these kits don't give any significant gains over a standard airbox and in some cases have reduced power. They do however, sound good! :)

    Coilover obession - Why do you really want coilovers???

    You won't regret moving to a good quality coilover. The main advantage being the adjustability which you will really feel the benefit of on track. The V2s will do the job but if you can stretch to V3s or Clubsports you can really get into fine tuning it. I run 2 cars with Clubsports and while...

    robertj's LCR. New track toy in the garage

    Very soon Tom. I'll be starting to strip the car down in the next couple of weeks. Needs a new clutch too so I'll probably be fitting a lightened flywheel and paddle clutch. Then it's rollcage, seats, harnesses etc. Fortunately we are friends with the owner of Corbeau Seats who is also one of...

    robertj's LCR. New track toy in the garage

    A quick update as I haven't been on here for a while. Been a busy year turning my trackday obsession in to a business. Our 350Z has a couple of stable mates now, although the BMW has been ours for a few years its now getting some proper use and is inline for some decent upgrades over the...
