Knight Rider, LED's are just abit of fun when its dark
Finally got hold of the correct speedo cable now and even bought a brand new speedo dial and the flippin thing still doesnt work, so all it can be now is it must be 2 worn where the cable goes into the gearbox. Or any other sugestions ??? Appriciated
OOOOOSH BANG TIDY look at these beauty's came from an old Impretza STI and are pretty much perfect condition. (Ł20 and my old car cd player, bargain or what). These were a real pain in the arse to fit as i had to use my standard runners and weld them on but well worth it, they fully recline aswell with 1 lever. i dont fall out of the seat now when cornering its great.
This cant get any better without spending big mnoney now as the new seats are slightly lower down, hold ur arse and back in the seats and with the tiny steering wheel and lowered suspension it honestly feels like a go kart.
In 2nd gear with this exhaust just sounds incredible, i try to stay in this gear as much as possible its that good.
Got a few good comments at the car show a couple of weeks ago, (this was only in the carpark not the show) and always keep getting people asking if im selling it, must av been about 25 times now but decline everytime as its such good fun.

you wont travel to pic up some decent RST recaros but will travel to get wheels that will ruin the car.
dont like subaru seats full stop, i wouldnt put them in a subaru let alone in a classic ford.
that said its nice to know its working well

you need a 40 profile on them, guess they are a 195/50/15 at the minute?
don't fit them untill you get the correct profile.

My problem is exactly what you said, youve got a good condition mk2 yet you decide to put cheap crap on it, looks fucking chaved up and needs taking off you before any further hideous additions are put on it

it even fails in being an xr2 rep... its the wrong shade of red
the LED strip just looks pure shit, its like a christmas decoration or something
you had a clean fiesta that would look nice on a set of pepperpots, lowered 30/40mm and some recaros up front but instead, youve put aload of cheap shit on it and it looks poo :/
dont put those bloody black wheels on it lmao jheez
