Re:

I had a set on track car there were not good on track
Compared to the yoko a385
Got no feedback and the grip was non-existent just slid when you
Push hard in to the corner and spun up on acceleration

Re: fuzzy ford gearbox

The Saab can make 500 bhp on stranded internals
No c20 let can do that
Plus had lots of Vauxhall and the new stuff is badly made
Were the Saab is just bedded in at 100 000 miles
£2000 with a 2.3 head will get you 400 + bhp
Do that with a c20 let

Driver side front wheel rubs on strut at the top

The front wheel keeps rubbing on the strut when I brake
And some time the car wonders for no reasons
Had a quick look when I got home but it to dark to see, any help would be gratefully received?
