***Yatesey's Badger5 Edition LCR***

Welcome to my RR thread for my 2005 Leon Cupra R 225.

I bought my car on 13/3/2010,totally standard & unmolested with 60k on the clock.This was the 1st time i saw car as advertised

Purchased car,had a LONG weeks wait till 13/3/2010 when i could pick it up

Friends had put me onto SCN,for my sins the reading,wishing&wanting had begun lol

I managed almost a year before i started to start little mods,started off with a full set of Team Heko wind deflectors.Got them off ebay for a bargin price of £20

 

[Yatesey8527]

Few weeks later I purchased & fitted a Armster armrest,still chuffed with this mod now.Makes even the shortest journey more comfortable also has a handy storage space inside.

 

[Yatesey8527]

One thing that was bugging me everytime i looked @ my OEM wheels was there rough looking condition.Although the rims were not kirbed anywhere-the laquer had peeled & they were flaking.

Took car upto Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists in Tewkesbury.Had them fully stripped back wheels to bare alloy then repainted.

BEFORE

AFTER

Had them finished in black chrome.My mate works @ local BMW dealer,got me the paint from the body shop.Well chuffed with end result.Colour changes in different lights.

Also treated my new new rims to some new centre caps-big thanks to Dave @ Sere Motors for help.

How they look on car day I got wheels back

 

[Tingle13]

Looking good. Had my old wheels done at the same place they are very good. Any other plans ?

 

[Yatesey8527]

Thanks mate.

Near future plans include :

Smooth air box
Badger 5 80mm TIP
Stage 1 remap
Silicone hoses

Nice motor mate, I like the colour of the wheels you'll love it mapped, transforms these cars.

Cheers RDS,didn't want black on black-think it's bit much.

When @ badger5 was speaking with Bill about remap,still debating wether to go Revo or custom code.He was saying Revo more aggressive,CC more through whole power band,not just lower down.

Any thoughts/opinions gratefully received

 

[RDS]

Cant comment on CC, mines running revo mate and I love it, running stage 2 and seeing great figures

 

[Yatesey8527]

just few small changes so far this week.Swapped number plate & interior lights for LED bulbs-so much better than standard bulbs.

 

[Yatesey8527]

Also made a start @ smoothing air box

Popped roung Forge Motorsport,got afew goodies on order for Friday pay pay

 

[tyrer]

Smoothed airbox is IMO better time spent than money on induction - pop a few holes in for good measure

 

[Gravesie-363]

smoothing the airbox has got to be one of the easiest mods anyone can do, and 2 and a half years later i still have not done it .. what am i doing with my life!!

 

[Van Man]

lovely looking clean car fella

 

[D.K]

I'm running a smoothed and heavily modded airbox on my LCR, it's running a custom AmD map and make's over 290BHP with it

 

[Gravesie-363]

In what way do you mean heavily modded?

The key really is to improve the cold air feed.

U actually got any air box left DK? Lol.

It's actually your guide I read through & gave me kick up the ass to start doing it.

Can't be arsed with induction kits,getting bit older lol.
