when my car was last out i was having probs putting power down as all it wanted to do was spin i have the standard s2 box with a ap4 paddle and was wondering if there was anything i could do to stop so much spin
i expect there always to be a fair bit but just wanna help it

get yourself an uprated box with a quaife a.t.b, i had this and it made a huge difference. Also as said above, get yourself some wider tyres and wheels.

got yokos at moment and there brand new i thought these would be good tyres
its not that i have a heavy right foot but when i want to use the power it comes with masses of spin
are uprated diffs expensive as i dont have much money to spend on 1

is it a genuine rs turbo box with lsd?u checked it?
mind the roads are very greasy this time of year,i can get my 306 d turbo to wheelspin in second with its beastly 90bhp(prob about 70 now as its 117k
)
also the cars prob peakin in the 20psi range and as soon as it hits a certian rpm its gonna break traction you just need to learn how to feather it and control it when its on boost

With the right tyres etc you should be ok. What sort of power are you running. There could be a good possiblilty you don't have a genuine RS Turbo gearbox. Alot of RS have had them replaced in the past with XR3i jobbies etc.
I'm running about 200bhp with a quaiffe ATB diff and toyo R888's. Can't even get it to brake traction in 2nd
still got rose jointed adjustable TCA's and front tie bars to fit yet
I'd highly recommend Goodyear Eagle F1's as an all round tyre and check your gearbox is the correct type with an LSD
