Annoying torque steer.....
Have had my ERST done for about a month now, got the Gotech Management on, running bar of boost - 220BHP
My old escort was 200 bhp but I enjoyed driving it more, although it only had 15" wheels
This time I have 17" wheels, and around where I live there at lots of nice twisty roads, although bumpy. I used to like being able to 'leave' people through the corners. But im scared to put my foot down in this one, its all over the place.
Do you think this is mainly due to the 17" wheels??
Have full Koni Adjustable suspension btw.
Cheers

To reduce it i reckon it helps to have adjustable TCA's and to get the torque to be produced progressively but increasing as the revs and speed rises.
not like most T3 turbo'ed RST's where they produce ALL of their torque very quickly at around 3000 rpm and coupled with a diff thats trying to put the power down it throws you about on the road

I have had a S1 escort and a FRST and the big difference between the escort and the fiesta is the lack of LSD on the fiesta - change the box for a S2 escort box and the car will be much more fun to drive!
