I love XR2's. It has got the wrong wheels on it though. It needs a set of 13" pepperpots for it to be vintage correct. Those rims are off a Mk3 fiesta sport...Someone hand me my anorack. Im coming down for a go |

Re: bingo wing workout
ah.... back in the days when it was scooby doo xr2 (before them japs got in on the scene)..
If the brakes feel that bad, could the brakes just need looking at? (pads, brake fluid, master cylinder could be all grimey and horrible).. Cracking car! Must have been a small fortune for the condition it's in? (I'm 25 btw - not a fan of all these new peugeot rcz's or citroen ds2's.... bring back the original hot hatches like in the 90's when I was growing up!)

Re: bingo wing workout
take a photo under the bonnet for us,
and another test is With the Engine OFF press your brake pedal 3 or 4 times really hard, then with pressure applied as hard as you can Start your engine and see if your foot on the brake pedal moves slightly down... if you have a servo and it does not move then it's either a fault in the diaphragm on the servo, a hole in the vacuum pipe or the vacuum pump is at fault. |

Re: bingo wing workout
im not keen on the pepper pots. He is 14 and knows nothing about cars but is just horrified at travelling in this one. When we drop him off at school, there are speed bumps so we have to slow right down and of course give a wee accelerate once over the bump, nice noisy exhaust, you can see he just wants to curl up and die lol. He doesnt like to attract attention to himself, unfortunately he has the wrong mum for that lol. he was given the option of walking the hour to school lol
