Does anyone know how much power the standard box on these cars can take roughly? This one has a Fast Apex Spec 1 Gearbox not really heard of them before>?

ive been in a 560 bhp evo 7 and i shit my pants!! its the transferbox,s that are under massive pressure they were only ment to take 280bhp there not cheap to replace you can get them second hand for around 500 to 600 quid , ive fitted 2 before one to a evo 3 and one to a evo 4 , and they can be a right basterd to fit , theres also 4 bolts in them that come loose if you here a knocking noise when turning left its normally them! you can buy uprated ones for very little money but its the job of taking all the transferbox off.. pm me for any advise mate

Looks like a proper speced car but strong money.
Think i would be going for the 600 bhp Evo 8 with 25K miles on it for £13000, thats forsale on http://www.escortrscosworth.com/foru...ad.php?t=16879 .

Thanks for the advice guys i will pass it on to him, agreed it is strong money but nothing compared to what the guy had poured into the car and it sounds like it has all been done properly.

Jamie,

I know the seller, Russ, great guy, genuine as the days long and as said, it's a top car with some proper bits on it..

Don't forget guys, it's the RS so stronger box & diff anyway..

as i stated its already had the uprated diff bolts done..

Drivetrain:
Exedy SR Triple Plate Clutch (lightweight pedal feel)
HEL Stainless Braided Clutch Line
Fast Apex Spec 1 Gearbox
Uprated 12.9 Front Diff Bolts
RS Rear Diff (fitted as standard)
Forge Motorsport Short Shifter
Aluminum Shifter Bushes

and the RS has no AYC so less to brake this car looks awsome

The boy bought my old 6 RS 2 off me. Hes very very anal about his cars and that one is awesome BUT massively overpriced. He'll be lucky to get anywhere near that price.
