Not with good tyres and diff it won't mine doesn't with nice warm r888's in the dry and I've got 500bhp I think launch control is a really good mod much better than anti lag which is a bit point less on a road car

Thanks mate.

Not by choice mate.. But 36psi a lot of pressure on that shaft...so I put one on... The car came with one from ford with a t3 and 9psi so it's good enough for me to have one... It's there for a reason operational not decorational mate.

Hi Matt , I'm really happy that you desided to keep the 3dr and your going to develop it further deffo good choice with the beam but I wouldn't go with that diff , Titan , gripper or supra would be your best bet . Keep up the good work !
