      @@Lloydcarter88 I’m exactly the same. My dad worked for Ford for 20 years so all our family cars growing up were old trade ins. Xr2i xr3i sierras granadas to name a few . so I guess it was engrained in me 😂

    It would be interesting to see how they cope on the drag strip. I have these axles in my build, but won't be on the road for a bit. Good luck, nice car mate.

    I recommended the atlas but don't know if i remembered to point out you'd need it shortening by a couple of inches, mine was an Series X / X-Pack so luckily i didnt need to because of the bigger arches, but it would have been more expense on top to make one fit yours, unless you wanted that 70s F1 look. Good thing about the the savings on the english set up is you can now go and get a 400bhp map with flat footshift and downshift blip from the likes of mountune etc

      Yes also part of my decision was that extra fab work would of been needed along with new brakes,prop list goes on. But hopefully now it should be able to take it all with what’s there. Soon be time to wind it up see what it can do 💨👍🏻

      They’re just eBay special rear bearings. I think Borg and beck not sure how good they are but the car goes on the ramp after every drive for an inspection so I’ll keep an eye on them. Don’t want a when falling off at 150 😅 😂

    Hola mi amigo, que pasa? Why didn’t you fit the tyres you are racing on & practice launching it to make sure the axles are good? Trying the car on road tyres just proves the car is drivable again why wait till ur on the strip for them to fail again.
