Much as the title says im thinking of switching from my mk1 vrs to a LCR 225, ive had the octy for just over a year now and am starting to feel like i want more but financial restraints mean i cant have too much more so after some looking about i decided on the lcr but what id like to know is, is the LCR diffirent enough from the octy to warrant changing or would a simle remap give me what im after from the octavia???

cheers for any ideas people

chris

A remap of a standard octavia will give you very similar performance to the LCR for a lot less money.

You may fine the Leon cheaper to insure though

really? thought the leon was a group 17 compared to the octys 16

It is , but if you have your octy remapped , it will often cost quite a bit more than a standard car

ah right gotcha. was also thinking of the handling will the leon handle much diffirent to the octy, sometimes feel the handling of the octavia could be sharper

The remap I think will sway your decision, puts a lot more spark into the engine.

I agree with the above, a remap makes a world of a difference.

Also I've fitted full KW v1s coilovers and a rear ARB, and it take the cars handling into another league :p

If you live somewhere near North Wales I'd be happy to take you for a spin, or I might be looking at selling the car in the next few months, so it might interest you getting a pre modded vRS.

a remap and a rear ARB is all you need mate

It depends on a few things

My remap and other mods cost me

cheers for the advice guys, how much does a good ARB cost? sadly i live in the west of scotland so thanks very much for the offer but its a wee bit out my way

Certainly no more than

Neuspeed is a good option for

Thanks alot folks, i must admit i do still like the look of LCR but it was mainly an improved drive i was after and if this can be had with some simple mods such as these then it might just sway me. cheers
