Gareth with the mods done it is such a major improvement over when i got it...cant beleive what putting proper suspension/brakes etc can do to a car I aint even got the rose jointed TCA's and track rods ends in yet...let alone the Grp A rear beam ....but i fear it will be smashed up before then

as above, when REALLY wet weather, since stg 3, in 2nd the arse swings out a bit to the middle of the road but hold it on boost and go to 3rd and it goes back in line, must be the t34 boost spike that does break teh traction,, not a problem in the dry, if it were the centre diff , surly in the snow i'd have been going nowhere the last week, nice and steady avery where with 4wd surefootedness, i was snicking up hills and stuff that rangerovers etc were scrapping about at teh bottom
