1st 2nd is pretty useless unless you can feather the power in, 3rd it sometimes start to spin at about 5grand, depends on the weather! 4, 5 and 6th pull strong with no wheel spin all the way to the limited!
It's on a getrag box, so a focus ST170! With a diff!
It's on ok tyres, some toyo's proxy 4's! So with some r888's I'm hoping to get the full usage of 2nd gear!
I wouldn't quite call it racing round south mimms, but yer that would be me!
The box u got in your focus rs should not need updating the mtx75's are pretty much bullet proof to be honest, I know people running 550+'on them with no troubles!
