my mk1 lcr no brembos why ?

[Staszek20vt]

Brembos where standard equipment on all UK LCRs,including the earlier 210 bhp model.Recaros where an option

Hmm, I wouldn't bet on it.

100%
I bought mine on the 15th of May 2003.
The spec list was only leather interior
In 2004 the spec list was the same but the cars came with trackers fitted

No option to not have the Brembos

 

[Moshymosh]

yes full uk spec only thing it donst have are the brembos lol very odd

18" wheels?

Weird combination if you do have 18s

 

[Willie]

I smell a rat!!

Something is not right.

Can you take pictures of the under side of the car, suspension set up and engine bay.

There is no reason why someone would remove there brembo's.....................

Unless someone has pulled a fast one when selling the car

312mm brake kit goes for about £150-£200 2nd hand.

Brembo kit £600?

Muhahah, if I had an LCR, I'd rape it for £500 profit. Splash some red paint on the little brakes & run.

That or it's an EU import & someone bought 18's for it once it was over here.

 

[Bobby.Gee]

or its an import with the wrong identity lol.

either way you need to check it out mate, i cant imagine why anyone would remove the brembos for any reason other than to make money out of an unsuspecting buyer

 

[turbin]

Here in Sweden Mk1 LCR had 18", Brembos and Recaros optional. 18" and Brembos where an upgrade package together so if you dont have Brembos your car didnt have 18" when it came out of the box.

 

[Moshymosh]

all i know is its not a import and has 18s and dosnt have brembos, the car was bought from a main dealer not privite sale so i dont see them trying to rip anyone off, if it is a cover up its a very good one everything is done haha i will take some pics and post them for you to look at thanks

 

[Bobby.Gee]

someones obviously took the brembos off for some strange reason

 

[Moshymosh]

yes its very odd i dont see why the hell you would do that very strange ohwel i still love the car non the less

 

[m0rk]

How do you know it's not an import?

 

[Moshymosh]

the dvla didnt tell me it was and hpi dosnt say either nor did the dealer ship

 

[wayne lcr]

sounds like they have been taken of and sold to me how many owners as it add and see if you can track the pervious owns and ask them

 

[Moshymosh]

im the 3rd owner haha the one before i work with his mum and the frist owner was a middle ageded man, i may try and get in contact with seat and ask them about it just to be set stright.

 

[wayne lcr]

i would mate to be on the safe said i thought all lcr come with brembo 4 pot front calipers

 

[Moshymosh]

yes thats what i thought but the car seemd real enough to me and i swaped it for my old proton so im happy anyway haha

 

[m0rk]

Just FYI, if it was a parallel import, the DVLA won't be able to tell you one way or another...

But it's likely the car has been raped.

Take it back to SEAT (if you bought it from them) and ask them to revert the car to standard

 

[wayne lcr]

defo mork something ant right and i would take it back
