Bugger the brakes - I'll buy the whole damn car off you when time comes to sell. Awesome machine you've created there and must be fun keeping up with the Focus RS brigade! How do you find it for putting down the power?

She needs a good bit of throttle control at the moment! the tyres i have are just cheap budget ones that came free with the alloys so they don't help! once they need changing i will get some eagle assy f1s or similar, they seem to get good reviews for grip.

funny enough i was having a bit of a mess around the other day and managed a great take off with only a little squeak of wheelspin in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.

the best cars i get to mess with up here are the vxr kids! they hate a volvo speeding off into the distance!

power goes down easy from 30mph+ its just the take off that can catch me out.

i am saving at the moment for the uprated clutch and quaiffe diff @ kalmar union. they are the last two big things that i plan on doing. i want to stay away from the bigger turbos injectors etc I just cant be bothered with the problems that they can give, this is my everyday car after all.
