D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive
- Thread starter D.K
- Start date
Took her out for a little blast last night 
I've started getting a creaking coming from the N/S front when going over speed bumps and dips in the road,
I think it might be the top mounts but I've also been told it could be the drop links or a ball joint so this needs to be looked into as soon as I get a chance.

There will be hot food and drink on offer as well so get there early before I eat all the Bacon rolls

I've not had a chance to update this since the weekend, firstly thank you to everyone who came to AmD on Sunday, we had a massive turn and as always it was a really good day, Also a big thank you to the boys at AmD for allowing us to take over on what should have been their day off 
As always I had a lot to do on Saturday to be ready for our first proper meet since the respray, the first job was to finish the new boot install, the sub and amp were removed prior to it going to Legends.
I wanted to hid as much of the install away and out of site so I decided to go with a false floor and hide everything under it.
Initially I was going to build it into the spare wheel well but I wasn't keen on loosing the wheel so I decided to build on top of it.
The box and floor are made from 18mm MDF, once I had the layour right the floor was then trimmed so that with the rear seats folded forward it could slid forward to allow access to the spare wheel.
Once it was all marked out and I was sure it would all fit it was screwed together, the box was battened and sealed to make it as airtight as possible, the internal dimentions of the box are just under 1.5 cu/ft.
I'm still using my old Vibe Black air 12" sub and Alpine V12 amp for now.
Little bit of CAD to get the false floor right
False floor is made from 9mm MDF
End result
I've got a little bit more work to do on it but I'm pretty happy with it for now

Next job was to finish off a couple of carbon bits.
1st up was my carbon mirror caps, these had gone cloudy from where I used a water based lacquer in the past, this time I used a 2k lacquer so they should hold up better to UV rays.
Next up was my carbon throttle body cover that I made a while ago, last year it fell off and got stuck between the sump and the undertray and it got quite badly scratched, it's sanded back and had a fresh coat of resin and then lacquered with the 2k lacquer.
Fitted
Just needed a wash and it was all ready for AmD

Cars looking awesome mate the paintwork looks stunning !,Have to say that the boot install looks great (nice and subtle) may have to look at doing something simalar myself.Also wish i could have made the AMD rolling road day but i just didn't have the funds to get down there maybe next time.
