Right then , I'm looking to see what the most tuned FWD fords are so that I start looking into a traction helper, for startline grip and power out of the bends

Also please give me feed back on power output.

bud-weis

turboboss on here runs a very high powered FRST and i believe he uses fully rosejointed zoo bottom arms and probably a few other trick bits and bobs, pm him

Danny B

I'm not asking what to use, lol, I want to know what application is most popular for my kits to be made for.

sbd16v

mk2 astra 450 ish bhp

bud-weis

oh i see

John Laverick

See sig........

I would imagine the Escort RS Turbo kits would be most poopular on here.

SidZvh

Danny, good to hear your looking into making something up for us who have FWD.

Just what i need. My escort needs something badly! If ya come up with something i'll defo be up for buying it from ya.

Sexy-RS

Yeh escort's deffinatly would be more popular i think I can't get fook all traction I dread to think what yours is like Sid lol

89xr2

XR2's seem to be pretty popular. Especially with people converting them to ERST power or zetec power. It wasn't on the pole so I figured i'd add it


Cheers

A limit to just Fords is a bad move - other marques spend MUCH more cash Danny

The tyre advice etc ya gave me with the Bf Drag radials broke the clutch and gear box and ripped the mounts so the traction was mint lol.

You makin a kit for track or pod ? would be hard to suit both i recon,
Hope its a success pal.
Tim
i run link arms etc and adj tcs etc .

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

Danny B

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.

JonnyBravo

Good to Meet you finally earlier Danny.

Danny, I have the Full MEF Rear set up with Adj TCA's and GAZ Coilovers ( For now ) But I am looking for a kit for the front, for when I go onto track..?


Will you be doing one off's or making kits for all erst's?



Cheers Radleigh



PS: Power will be around 330bhp

S1

Can only vote for one car Ive got an FRST, 2 ERST'2 and a Focus RS but most interested in parts for the FRST. Current stats are 12.78 1/4, 0-60 4.9, 0-100 9.5 running on Yoko Advan's 195-50-15's at 14 psi. Been looking at running a 205-50-15 on the front. Any recommendations fro a road legal and also a nice sticky strip only tyre?

Damo V

I reckon develop something for the FRS, it wont be long before a large number of them are above 400 Brake IMO

THEN the new Focus ...

Then the S1 / S2 .. If Ford based...

Dog

Focus RS here! Stock tyres are pants in anything other than bone dry but otherwise no probs getting power down.

Rich

sbd16v

i can answer this one for danny toad legal drag tyres you want are

bfgoodridge drag radials you need to have some side wall so 50 profile or higher

JonnyBravo

Never heard of Toad tires Rob

MAD EVO 4

haa

Danny B

or Mickey Thomson ET street radials, I can supply street legal drag tyres, full slicks,
And also I'm going to be doing a promotion on the new Avon ZZR road legal track day tyre in early 2006


with regards to Ford only work, I'll work on ANY type of car and I'm willing to try anything new with regards customers own ideas, the only thing I ask from a customer is that there end result is to GO FAST!!!

MAD EVO 4

Going fast and made well sounds good to me bro

Tim

iTrader: (1)

Alps Pacino

Danny, from a buisness point of view, it would have to be a focus, more of them on the road than most cars, plus there getting to the price where people can buy & modify them

S1 with 400bhp.
Got Avo coilovers on the front, Bilstein coilovers on the rear, adjustable tca's , safety devices 6 point cage with door bars too. Was fully corner weighted and that made a hell of a difference

Will be looking for the other bits to make it handle well and help put the power down with more grip.

Very interested in what you come up with Danny

Red16

i'd like to know this too as im going the same route but with a zetec and a tad more power.

What did you make of the MEF stuff when you fitted it Gus?

gus

iTrader: (1)

never gota pounding but did handle nicely, felt stable at speed too which is nice
