AFPMSL. We have seen around 400lb/ft, imagine that through the front wheels!! Doesn't struggle to light the 235 wide Dunlop SP Sports up in third, even in this weather!!!

PMSL i can see the conversation now :

Mr C : Gary thats a corner coming up.

Mr G : yeah i know

Mr C : you wanna start braking for it

Mr G : naaa its an evo

Mr C : yeah a fwd evo!

Mr G : oh yeah .................... fuuuuuck



So is that funky RR up and running now Mr C? Im on the look out for a De-cat pipe for the FRS and someone to fit it, then a RR run to see what power its putting out. Is that something APT can do (im sure they can )

Just a side note....

I setup Sean RS's fiesta turbo recently.

it runs 11.7 on the road. On the rollers - 10.6....

Quite scary really.

We have discussed trying RWD, but the worry is that it will be too much fun and he will end up busting the rear diff again!! They aren't like Cossie's, where you can buy a second-hand diff for a ton. His replacement diff was almost Ł1k!!

Not sure, I guess the transfer box can be reworked for RWD. He had his reasons for FWD, but I can't remember what they were. Perhaps it was to protect the rear diff? I don't know without asking him.
