Talking from experience, I run 400 BHP through standard 2.0 Zetec Driveshafts and a Bernie Built MTx75 Gearbox with no issues.....

My theory has always been leave it until it brakes, prevents me spending the money where I dont need to. But that is just MY OPINION.

Default 1.8cvh mk2-xr2

i want to keep standard ride height but need to stop it from rolling like a boat on bends. better antiroll bars? running about 130hp n/a but its more torquey than horses. i found burning up standad clutches with 2nd gear works quite well, but still, traction is a problem. im on 13's with proper soft tyres.

I'm using PFnicks car as test vehicle and the other kits will be based on the escort kit, I'll show pics when ALL kits are complete.

I do have a Focus kit available already Although this is not an Adrenaline Race & Performance Product but it is a product we supply and support these kits will be £325inc VAT and available within in 1 week of order.

this is why I've chosen PFnick's car as he will give an independant view on the product and his car makes good power so its not like we're fitting the kit to a standard car and saying look it grips well!

i run link arms etc and adj tcs etc .

Happy xmas,hope u have a success full 2006 pal.

Glad my advise worked shame about the box and clutch though, this is going to be a problem for I many I feel.

Hopefully we can come up for something for track and Pod, will need settings altered etc but I aim to use the same hardware.


As you can see in this reply Rick the kit is aimed at track cars to, also another reason for me choosing PFnicks car as he does track days.
