I am not saying what I suggested was the be-all and end all of upgrades, just the most reasonable IN MY OPINION for the use it will get Vs Cost Vs reliability.....

Why don't you run a full works car in your Rallys??? COST ...

As regards to the xr 4x4 shaft debate, I have run them with no problems, as have friends, one who went through about 5 std cossie shafts until he fitted an xr 4x4 one that has been fine ever since.. Every man and his dog knows they are an option for getting rid of the ripped out shaft problem, look through any magazine article on the 4x4 cos and you will find it says an xr 4x4 shaft cures the problems of a low car?? ... It might be more critical on a gravel car with the longer suspension travel, I don't know, but I am only saying that this bit of advice has been around for years, and It has worked fine for me .....

9" diffs in 3.64 ratio?? PM me a price for 2 please

i do run full works spec escorts in my rallies,cost is not as much as most would beleive,and ive never won the lottery.well kind of did almost once.
