project laguna coupe

[HANDSOME RICH]

Stickers and blue nonsense devalue what was shaping up to be a really left-field, classy-looking, head-turner.

Shame.

I agree, had so much potential

Hi everyone hope all of your mods are coming along!!
So glad to see this car on here now, yes I have only just renewed my membership so apologies there!!
@liguid force loving what you have done with the beast, I am looking for company's and ideas as to what I can do to mine.
I am looking to keep it mostly factory apart from kick as mods, had it re-mapped by rs tuning come across a couple of problems but running at 210bhp and around 380 ft lb torque
Got 20mm wheel spacers on from H&R and it makes it look bad ass, turn them wheels and watch them kick out of the body work
Booked in for a custom made exhaust as you know they do not make them for this car, or have I not looked hard enough??
Oh and tinted windows had to be done!

I am looking for other things to do, are you aware of a company the removes the FAP filters yet and maps the codes out? Been told they are a b%^£ch!!!
Everyone else's comments and suggestions welcome on or off wall!

Gutted, I loved this car. This is how it should have stayed.

 

[Goodj]

For my (worthless) 2-cents.

Shopping list on the sills instantly made this as chav as a 1.172 Cup with yozza.

Blue rims and details are passable though, it's good to have a relief colour

 

[mace¬]

A relief colour? Are you taking a degree in Art, Philosophy and contemporary practices?

 

[Goodj]

fashion, darling

Agreed 100%!

 

[marshy6732]

Thanking you very much erm jesus

@ mace, I am looking to keep it more to it's original style actually you may pleased to hear. Looking to change a few bits though. Do people not like that front splitter then from the gt??
Looking for some coilovers for it if anyone can help and some high carbon disks.

 

[Phill1978]

what troubles did you run into if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Knuckles]

250/bocanegra?

Le 200?

 

[marshy6732]

Well firstly there was a problem with the car shutting down before the ECU date could be downloaded to map. Then i'm not sure why but the bloke said that he wasn't getting the gains that he was expecting for some reason Did what he could and then turned up the turbo boost a little for a little extra.
Didn't help that the bloke before mine that was supposed to be done by the time I got there ran way over, it got to 10 o'clock and I still had some driving to do!

@knuckles I'm not sure which picture I prefer small difference but changes the look quite a lot :S

 

[marshy6732]

Oh and think I agree with you phill1978 but In the end that's why it is good, everyone does it differently

 

[Knuckles]

i know what you mean, i think i prefer the top one though

 

[marshy6732]

I can see why bottom one doesn't look enough and it also covers up the kind of noticeable water jet square, but the downfall is at the top where the bumper does not meet inline with the wheel arch

Pic of the car out and about. In serious need of coil overs and found that Eibach don't do them! Bad times, finding this car to be a bit of a pain!

[Knuckles]

i think it was paul that did it in the first place

 

[marshy6732]

Yeah it was actually I went to Leeds for it not brilliant with names but I think that was the very person

 

[liquid_force]

Thanks everyone for your comments. The people that have supported me and helped me win the british 4 stroke championship are what the stickers are there for. The colour scheme is the going to be the Same as my ski when it gets painted for next season.

 

[marshy6732]

Putting it all togethor it does look pretty awesome!! Nice one liquid :clap:

 

[liquid_force]

This is one design

 

[Martin_172]

that looks awesome towing the ski!

 

[marshy6732]

Hi everyone!
Spankers new turbo on the Laguna, shame it had a wobly. Week and a half in the garage and I have my baby back. Custom stainless system on the cards in the next couple of weeks.

Any guru's out there that know of the easiest way to eliminate FAP filter catalytic convertors on Diesels?
Oh also coil over systems that deosn't cost an arm and a leg

 

[Andy.]

No idea I'm afraid, but you might want to start your own thread.

@liquid_force, congrats on winning the Champoinships!

 

[liquid_force]

cheers andy

Here's an idea, get your own thread and stop clogging up this one?

 

[liquid_force]

bit off a update not really car related but this is my ski after is paint job ready for next season

and can anybody attemp to make my car look a bit my aggressive at the front end no silly teeth or eyes though

 

[liquid_force]

All ready for 2013 season now

 

[g.cameron]

That looks awesome mate.

I think dog fighter teeth would actually work personally. Think it has the right shape at the front if you get me?

 

[marshy6732]

Hi liquid how's it going? Well I was very surprised yesterday to see a Laguna coupe coming up behind me on the A1 and then to find out it was you with all the very nice blue additions in my face
This car looks even better in real life!!
Was a massive surprise to see you, much to the amusement of the missis when she was saying what the f*^k are you doing!!!!

 

[liquid_force]

looked well with the slight tints though yours did what are they thought it might off been you to be honist

 

[iluvatar]

Hiya, absolutely love a major part of the mods you've done. I've bought one last week and currently looking for a slight change on the rims. I've got the 3.5 V6 version with the 4control and looking to stay with 18" or perhaps 19" but a bit wider (either 245 or perhaps 255 or 225 with spacers). Cause on the default setup I don't like the big space towards the sides of arches (especially on the back). But what worries me is the effect it has on driving the car. What's your experience? Still as great to drive as before or did you notice a slight difference?

Cheers!
