GreenXR6T Donating Members 630 Member For: 19y 7m 13d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 25/06/08 11:36 PM Share Posted 25/06/08 11:36 PM You blokes must have aggressive tunes.I'm supposed to have 392rwkw and have no problems with my 275/30x19 elcheapo Khumo's. Come to think of it, I have a 6speed in a BA mk1 with a 3.45 diff ratio. Maybe that calms it down a bit.I've been in a very similar car with a different ratio box and it has no trouble breaking traction in 3rd.I'm lucky to break traction in second.
