Default What transmission options for reliable 420BHP in escos??

Interested to know what would reliably handle 420 ponies all day long with fast road and track? No launches or standing starts etc.

Uprated VC in rear diff?
Front ATB with strengthening plate?
What gearbox? Pete Doughty?

Thats what I was thinking?

or am I miles off and should be

ATB rear diff
Front ATB in thickwall case
Quaife or Bara box.

bara box, im sure they do diffs aswell, think its gripper

ive heard the atb diff in the front is a love or hate thing, so still looking into them wether its worth getting one or keeping open diff on the front

Dunc,

Just watched your Focus lap of the ring for the first time, VERY impressive mate, sounds great too..

Focus really is a great car it seems, after seeing a few yesterday @ National day on track i'm really impressed with them..

Scott,

cheers mate my lap round the ring was my 2nd full lap ever as the first 2 laps i broke the car half way round lol and it went into limp home mode back there this time next month with quite a few other focus`s and i carnt wait.
Was out on track yesterday at national day in inter group had a great day, mine was the one with black rims R9 FCS went well untill the tyres went off and had it well sidewards at 110 through the crainers after that i had flat spots on all 4 tyres the size off your hand and did the afternoon session on them, not nice at all and it did slow me down a bit but still had fun and thats what its all about
