Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with it, wanted one for a long time. Got a few more things I want to do to it, but its a very expensive car to run, so finding money for mods as well as running it (and a house!) is tricky, added to that, everything I want to do now is expensive haha. When I have the money I would like the wheels refurbed dark anthracite, with the roof vinyled to match, FMIC, tubular manifold, water/meth injection and if I get the money; hybrid turbo.

As for current mods;

Stage 2 remap, 3" turbo-back decat non-res exhaust, 3" turbo intake pipe, BIG Jetex cone filter with heatshield, N249 valve bypass, Forge 007P recirc valve, Weitec coilovers, Eibach adjustable topmounts, 10mm front spacers, 15mm rear spacers, Ferodo DS2500 brake pads, Whitline adjustable rear antiroll bar, powerflex gearbox mount, HID dipped and mains headlights, de-wiper, colour coded rear "S" badge, debadged boot, Alpine iPod headunit.

AMD (who remapped it) dyno'd it at 300.4bhp and 325ftlbs, but their rollers are well known for being optimistic, so probably closer to 285bhp and 300ftlbs, although it is still RAPID!

Adam, along the back straight, I was getting 140mph until I heatsoaked (because of the lack of FMIC) then it dropped down to about 120.

Its a VERY cabable car, and even without the extra power, it runs rings around my Audi, it is just superior in every way. For the money they are now, there is a huge amount of potential for an awesome car.

;)

Sounds like you have put a lot of time/work into it then! 140mph is nuts... Any ideas what sort of lap times you are at?

Lol Tic, don't you start as well! :P

Only difference between mine and the 210 and 225 is a different steering wheel, its basically a facelifted version, but mine is kinda in the middle because it has the "teardrop" mirrors which old ones don't. They both remap to the same figures.

That isn't the only difference between the two at all George.

Single CD not tape deck, different wheel bearings part no's, 19mm pins not 20 (on some engines), pegs instead of poppers for the mats and retractable cords for the rear parcel shelf. To name just a few.

Jardo you silly little f**k tart, don't try and outsmart spunky about his own car.

All LCR's had 20mm pins, AMK and BAM engines only. wheel bearings are all the same, and the rest nobody gives a flying f**k about.

YOU Mr Prawn are wrong, I know every ounce of you will hate it; but you are.

Not all LCR's had 20mm wrist pins, I think all AMK's came with 20mm pins and I've never heard otherwise but there is lots of talk on forums or people stripping down BAM's and them having 19mm pins; rumors started from APY's I believe when APY rods were used in BAM's. Also, Seamons go and compression test your engine. I bet it is lower than Prawns AGU and a BAM. The wheel bearings may well be the same dimensions but Seat keep two different part numbers for them (presumably because they changed suppliers) and people do give a flying f**k about the other things otherwise people like me who have no interest at all in Seats would know about it.

I went to a car meet tonight with a load of mates, was pretty cool.

This was my fav' car of the night. 490BHP bridgeported (according to my friend) rex. Looked like shit, goes like f**k. Was insane.

I've worked out the BM is doing 27MPG being driven like a grandma; not cool. So to make up for this I kicked the f**k out of the clutch and went for some sideways fun. Now I have a scuff down my side skirt :/
