[QUOTE="nmp1, post: 15532037, member: 162682"] The information in this forum regarding the issues/oddity’s of the R’s seems to be very scattered and I’d like to consolidate it for the owners/future owners knowledge. Guys with 93/95 R’s can fill in those cars as I don’t know a lot about them but I’ll start with the 00R [U]Issues 2000R[/U] -Bubbles in the hood from incorrect factory prep and painting (common) -Fuel cell can and likely will leak over time as they have a life span, same as 95R (common) -Front splitter is a poor/weak design and will crack and make the car unstable at high speed (common if used) -Fuel sender unit calibration can be off and read 3/4 to 7/8 when the tank is full (somewhat common) -Recaro seat levers to allow rear access don’t always work, it’s a recaro seat on an oem ford track and the throws are different.
