That's one of the reasons I like it. It looks different to the usual kit car you see. Quite aggressive in its stance on the road.

What was wrong with the diff? Was it one of their own design or a Quaife or something similar?

It was off a Sierra.

Now how much power does a Sierra put out?

So for anyone considering buying one, there is your first upgrade: Quaife LSD.



p.s - Westie, cold tyres, wet leafy roads =

(is there anyone who hasn't heard that from me yet?)

Just a lot of wriggling and 5mph car and 30mph wheels action. All happens in slow mo. Tis great - although I'm sure I wouldn't think the same if it happened at 90mph...

In Cosworth form, quite a lot.....

I have a Sierra Cossie LSD in the Fury, good for up to 400bhp I'm told.

Hope so
