My Big LCR Project

[RickC]

Well it started life like this

(actually dont have many pics of a standard black leon, but theres loads in other threads.)

i put KW coilovers on it and the arch exstensions

it then went to panelcare for a respray done by Jake off here.

next i fitted 20' tuner 2s

love this pic the wheels look huge but they orroded a little so later had them referbed

i custom made these lghts using chrome lexux ones

 

[DOLBY]

mate looks really cool and different. how much was the respray?...what engine mods have you done/ will do?

 

[RickC]

next was power, so made this intercooler setup to get it ready for mapping later on,

new mapsensor pipe

finished just needed new silicone joiners as the ones in the kit were only single ply.
angel eyes from ultra fitted too while the bumper was off

i then got the car fully powerflexed bushed.

Next i fitted adjustable camber top mounts, which helped alot as it was lowered so much, and look pretty cool too.

i did a small ice install (ice now been removed), with pioneer axic x1 screen

powdercoated the wheels

and fitted a carbon bonnet

Running no crash bar! Fair enough! Very interested in what you did with the map sensor, it sits in a nasty funny shaped plastic pipe as standard. Got any pic’s of the finished pipe? Thank you!

 

[RickC]

turbo back blueflame which is awesome.

painted the calipers yellow as its on the opposite to purple on the colour wheel

few bits on the interior too

removed the angel eyes for standard ones, carbon bonnet, fully de badged, and referbed the wheels black

and the latest pics to date

yes there is a crash bar just didnt take a pic.

the pipe you talk about is this one, which is very restrictive

this is the pipe i made up

one for the DV and the other for the map sensor

 

[RickC]

its changed a bit since the last pics though but you will have to wait until the shows next year.

[lofer]

Cool. Where did you get that metal flange? Did you have to move or space the battery to fit that pipe?

 

[B3LSY]

have you still got the carbon fibre bonnet?

 

[jonjay]

Credit to you sir, amount of work thats gone into that is incredible.
