You should also think about investing in a 90 spec rear spoiler and front bumper ;)

Don't like the 90 spec bumper at all, i know where your comin from the little splitter will make it look lower at the front, i like the 90 spec spoiler but theres no point in changing the rear spoiler and not changing the front bumper.

On a white car the orange indicators look a million times better than clears!

I disagree, i think the 90 spec front bumper looks far far better, but its your car, fair play to ya though... any engine mods?

Agreed...

However standard brakes are pretty good up until around 200bhp... You can pick up a built, 1.6CVH 8 Valve BRAND NEW ENGINE for £4000ono from a guy called christian on passionford, his is the fastest rs turbo in existance and its the same engine as in his car! GHB!!!

Yes i know that car i think, its white with white wheel's do's about 170mph also think it's mantained by APT quote me if i'm wrong mate? wouldn't mind that but would have to run pectel or some other after market ecu which would cost another grand +, There's 5 grand i could have a scooby for that which would demolish a rst down the twisty's

No they are not. They are on the limit for a standard car! Its due to a shi tty designed cross linakge. I'd have at least Escort cosie calipers and 2WD cossied discs on it. OR you can buy a kit from Mike rainbird that allows 2wd cossie discs to fit the standard calipers and they fit under standard series 2 alloys.

I'd 90spec that car, front bumper and spoliler look miles better than the 88spec stuff.

Is that Gregory Elliots old car?

I have a set of 315mm 4 pot Willwood's they'll be more than capable of stoppin her just need to get them fitted. No its not greg's old car, last owner was local to me and he bought the rs new. Don't like the 90 one bit mate
