 Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:48 pm Post subject: Interiors and seats? +engine question |
 |
|
Not a fan of the S2 TI interior looks wise,it also doesn't look very comfortable?
Am I right to assume Recaro interiors are in reasonably plentiful supply, and fit without much butchering?
Also are all UK S2 1.5s 103bhp? eg. one with engine number starting 305080 (or other numbers)
thanks

S2 TI interior is more comfortable than it looks. Strangely I actually prefer S2 green cloverleaf seats to the more valuable recaros!
Recaros will fit very easily if you can find some.
Yes, 105bhp

When sorted, 33s are great fun and the series 2 is very different to a modern car. I've been driving my partner's Skoda Felicia all week, thinking actually it's not such a bad car really and then today I got into my TI and it made me smile - it's all a number of subtle differences that add up to a better driving experience - it doesn't suit everybody, but it's been very nice to hear Sue saying she understands the difference now.

Gave my 33 it's first propper run in months yesterday and it's so much more rewarding than the modern fiat gp and pug 308 regular drivers, it's also got much better all round visabilty and a bigger boot. It is however more tiring on a long run because it's noisier and more involving, a bit like motorcycling but dry!
Go for it
John
