[alexwilliams840]

You have a point but i'm sure Mac has his reasons lol

This is the united kingdom remember

Where have you beed this last month lol
I can honestly say i have never been on a wet trackday out of all ive been on plus a dry line appears after the 50 cars have been round for several laps

Well a few of us here have spent a morning sliding around brands in the wet... quite an experience when youre pushing the puma to its limitations.

But yes... I just don't like RWD... its like certain cars, sometimes you just don't like them for no reason..
I would much prefer a 4WD system.

Some Pictures of the RS300 Project after returning from the bodyshop

































































As you might well have seen by some of the pictures, a few things are needed to be done.
The small 295mm front brake discs look measly and so will be getting upgraded to Focus RS 325mm discs.
The rear axle is now out of alignment with the wheel arch as the kit was designed for different running gear so the ream beam will be getting chopped up and extended along with the suspension possibly getting moved if it goes beyond 10 degrees.

Still plenty more to be going on it but with Project Wolf just around the corner, this may take some time.

Call me crazy, but your cars just begs for a set of 15" OZ racings (white) and gravel tyres. with the height it has it would look you have just returned from Finnland!

Ah, good! I'm just sucker for gravel tyres in relatively high cross section on OZ racings and a car with sufficent ground clearance...
What can you do when you are a rally addict?
