When I do decide to rectify the problems, it will be to the same high standard that was used for the original conversion.
There are other reasons I can't use the FRS 'box, but I already have the new box lined up, just down to when I can be arsed to do anything about it. The car gets very little of my time at the moment, hence why I really don't give a fuck about it.
In real life, it goes like fuck and I am just enjoying pulling it out of the garage and driving it, knowing that the gearbox can most probably take it.
I did read that you have broken driveshafts and for me, doing this conversion and leaving any question marks or grey area's in terms of strength wasn't an option. It's not worth doing the work to improve the gearbox if there is a chance that the driveshafts will break. It's my opinion and you are entitled to yours. My comments on this and other threads were intended as light-hearted banter, so take it as that and chill the fuck out! LOL.
what ever mate, and what you read was that i snapped a standard factory drive shaft in my fiesta at the pod running a cts stg1 gearbox not on my focus box and welded shafts . and if they snap i have said from the start that i will get some dave mac ones.
and if one goes its just like any other failer all that will happen is i will have a loss of power as its a atb diff in there, not like the lsd that will put power to the other side and put you off the road or into the other lane at the pod like my cts box did.
