    @samuelbartle7136 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can anyone explain the change to degrees after the initial torque up. I understand it just curious as to why half turn, quarter turn, degrees etc instead of say torque to 52 then torque to 60 ? Just curious if anyone knows. Loving the content keep up the good work 👏 👌

      @@AaronUnknownPerformance yeah some are running over 330bhp especially in Ireland in the Mk2 Escort rally cars. Downside is they are massively expensive.
