Well I've had my Cupra R for almost a year now but I am getting bored of looking at it.
The body work isn't the best, It's ok but needs some work so I think I will search for a straight Mk4.
I prefere the look of the Mk4 golf if I'm honest.
If I decide to return to a Golf it will definitely be going K04 pretty much straight away.
I will most likely break the LCR for parts and keep all the goodies for the Golf.
Strangely there is more room in the rear of the Golf for passengers than the LCR. Maybe just a result of the Recaro rear seats though.
-
buy a cheap 4 mo drop all the lcr parts in it :whistle:
-
as above... :afro:
-
Yeah, That's the idea Barry.
Ideally a bog standard 1.8t. Loads to pick from.
I would just remove the whole front end with subframe,engine suspension the whole lot
and refit the whole lot from the LCR with AMk, gearbox brakes and so on.

Going to give it some thought.

mine goes well for an old mk4 :smiley:

I went from a 4mo to a lcr them back to a mk4 but tdi this time, the lcr ban 225 in a mk4 4motion is the perfect combination the grip of the haldex system is so much better than fwd.

Bill is my choice for mapping, He has done wonders on my LCR,
Really happy with the level of service he gives and very honest about things.
Wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Cheers Barry, that would have been great.
I'm going to view 2 4motions today, One has over heating issues so maybe I'll try and grab a bargin if the body is tidy.

plenty old 4 motions out there cheap now :wink:

There is Barry, The 2 I see today were proper dogs.
I only want a clean body. Mechanical Im not fussed about.
I also need to get the log book changed to 1.8t as the engine size affects my parking permit dramatically.
-
Keep us posted bud give us something interesting to watch for awhile :)
-
will do mate,
