Entirely possible: fresh bearings, fresh mt75 fluid, generous clearance on laygear bearings, ride height raised so straightening the driveshafts....
.....road test with wide-open throttle (clearing out cobwebs)
I know some people take the piss out of your car Jim, but it is a long while since I came back from road-test with such a big smile
Great fun!

Jimbo's car, or some V8 sierra, or summat, with nice tight suspension and a welded diff would be such a good crack.
As fast as turbos are, instant traction losing power is always fun

Jim's car is indeed very nice to drive. A lot quicker than im sure people give it credit for. I done the 2nd best 1/4 mile the car has ever done without gas on my 1st time of driving it.
Jim: if it feels faster, you should get it back on the rollers to see if there are any increases in power to the wheels?

PassionFord Post Whore!!
can you change the gear oil in a mt75 (4x4 cos) without removing anything? ie like an engine oil change?
just wondering if it will freshen up my box?
gearboxman, never fails to impress

Funny thing is though, I genuinely don't.
But Jim's car just begs to be driven in a flamboyant fashion.
I tell you, the smile on my face yesterday was ear to ear

oi you lot stop it its MY car and it'll be ME driving it sideways in the wet i must say tho its probably the most driven car on passionford
it does actually seem to slide out much much nicer now at low throttle openings than before. its does what i want it to do thanks for the advice on the traction and fixing my problem rather than charing me money for stuf i dont need on the diff
oh and pon, i'e been avoiding you lately as i know you'll convince me to sell it again
