some of this might not make sense as i am taking it straight from another forum but here goes, my daily non french hack
18/10/2013
Not much to post here really, got the car a week ago and booked it in with badger 5 straight away for belts and water pump (on the 24th). Have been going around the car sorting out little bits and bobs to get her all healthy and together. Fitted a brand new MAF sensor as it had a fault. Needed a spacer put on the ball joint as the hub was moving a fair bit, looks like its had a new wishbone fitted but it was forgotten to be put back on, this caused the car to get very scary in the wet! Fitted some re002 tires and had the tracking done, started to drive really well after that. Next up was new disks and pads from badger 5. Plain disks and ds2500 pads to hopefully give me some better stopping power. Then up to today, i pulled the sump and fitted a new pick up (again from badger 5), filled up with some fresh Titan Supersyn 5-40 and changed the oil filter.
In the next few days ill whip out the plugs and change the fuel filter.
Future plans are to fit a downpipe and decat along with a fresh remap. When i got the car it had an 80mm tip fitted, but fitted wrong and had a kink in it. Since fitting properly im getting a maf signal too high dtc, the car is mapped already but it looks like as its breathing better its causing the issue.
Cars belt is in getting fitted on the 24th along with a health check and smoke test, once thats done ill be happy to give her a little stick. Really starting to like the car now, seating position is a little high for me but its ok. The top mounts look like they have a little too much play in them so will hopefully fit some uprated suspension soon. The car is my new daily and transports my little one every so often but im also looking to have some fun on track with it after christmas. ill get some pics up soon but she looks like most other LCR's in black lol
