No chance of the tyres hanging on with 360+rwkw. What do you think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get Ford to look at it, if they fob you off as I suspect they will, then f*ck em as they are sh*t and mod it so the car has to much power and will just wheelspin, far more satisfying than axel tramp.scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILK RSPEC Donating Members 193 Member For: 17y 1m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Southside Posted 04/02/08 01:26 AM Author Share Posted 04/02/08 01:26 AM (edited) My car has been in at ford and prodrive are apparently looking at the problem. They think that the driveshafts on the back are to small and they are twisting up under torque then releasing causing the passenger wheel to axle tramp. I suggest anyone with an rspec should talk to ford about this problem so they will do something about it quicker. I was told that they were aware fo the problem during testing and are looking for a remedy. It is nice to know that whilst testing the car they hadn't fixed the problem and now I have a car that has that problem on the road. I am really dirty about it, considering legal action if the problem is not fixed soon or full refund. in my vote a car they built for people to do weekend track work in this is not that car. to think it axles tramps when I am not giving it a hard time what will it be like once I get it on the track..... sheeeesh Edited 04/02/08 01:27 AM by myti4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
