NOOOOOOOO scooby seats are bril i really like them and so is the exhaust.
future plans instead of buying a differsnt car for speed i will eventually get some help and drop a zetec into it as insurance for othe cars costs £3200+ for any car up to 1.6 so ill have this car for a couple of years so will need the brakes sorting. Do rs turbo brakes fit ?????? please help if they do fit i could get them within a couple of weeks
thanks

The kit isnt too bad but the car isnt the right shade of red for it to look good, the lattice wheels looked better on it. The car isnt the worst ive seen.
BUT
That fuckin L.E.D strip and sunstrip
'kin hell
as for the rs turbo brakes, go on xrtwo.com and ask on there, if not then keep looking around on ebay if someone has mk2 xr2 brakes or if there is one thats breaking for spares
or just sell it to mikeyrobbo for £300

And NOT selling for £300 are you mad, loosing over a grand in only a few months haha

youd be better off cutting the old brakes off with a grinder and using some chemical metal to stick the new ones on, its a more rigid way of holding it on rather than nut + bolt which can come loose!
if your stuck on the whole break fluid situation, dont bother with it, use normal tap water, it will boil abit better so will alow the breaks to be abit softer on your feet yet still be effective
let us know how it goes

he had an xr2i, 100hp ball of pure power, so they need better brakes,
he took the ones off a fiesta pop plus (like yours), cut his old ones off with a grinder, got it all smooth, got a tub of chemical metal, mixed it up and blobbed it where the old brake mounts were, put the pop plus brakes on and let the chemical metal harden!
jobs a good'n

oh and if you want a power boost, take the air filter off, cut a hole in the bonnet and get a mate to squirt squirty cream down the carb and itll speed you up. Check the labels, it contains nitrous oxide

Dont do what I once did either! Have a bash at doing brakes your self only to get stuck and having to drive the car to a garage with no calipers on the front!

the only thing theyll laugh at is you when your bolts shear off and the brake calipers get ripped off, hence why i said chemical metal would be best for what you need. If your gonna do something, then do it properly

the exhasut isnt majorly bodged only a little bit of bodging to make it fit at the back
and the seats fit just perfect plenty of room in the front and masses of room in the back 3 people with ease every day, fully recline

I think what a lot of people mean is that they don't fit with the era of the car. It's an 80s hatch, with swoopy, more modern seats in it. They're too modern, and don't fit the look of the car.
And everyone else just means they look enormous and look too big compared to the size of the car.
Some period Recaro's would just look 100x better. BUT, you won't listen, because you never do. No one can get it into your head that a bodged on cherrybomb is the shittest exhaust ever created for example...
