Yep LCR is a Leon Cupra R.

Thought that was common knowledge, just like CTR :wink:

Guess it was no-one from here then :sad:

Sorry... not me.  I've got a DSG R32 and you wouldn't have been able to see me after about 3 seconds  :evil: :evil: :evil:

A bit presumptious dont you think :wink:

247bhp/ 1600 kg's and 4wd. Do i need to mention the word transmission loss and power @ wheels :wink:

In reality are the Mk5 R32's any quicker than the 2.0 197bhp models?

I dont have a standard version LCR either, 1 of the quickest in UK and i think the lad i was up against yesterday knows so :smiley:

They are lovely cars, both models (R32/Gti) :smiley:

Has the new 30th edition GTI been released yet?

What are the differences? Just a remap with same turbo or is it the larger turbo that is used in the Audi S3 and Seat Leon Cupra cars?

Think that the power source is still the million dollar unconfirmed question!

i have got a go in a 30th edition next week (so yes there is some out there)
bhp 230 but they are not saying what they have done to get the extra 30 bhp
i bet its just software programing

Yup - they took me round to the garage in the back to see it when it first came in  :wink:  Went again today to have another look - 5 door, DSG with sat-nav... I am sure that they are getting a bit worried about me now  :grin: :grin: :grin:
