   yo geeks.
   
   Just confirmation that the 1.1 Final Drive is weaker than my tolerance to alcohol... Yesh?
   
   Any examples of 1.1 FD's dying in their full explosive glory? Or is just a plot to keep FD prices high for the XSi's and S1's n shit?
   
   mucho love x x x

   Be interesting to know if they made it out of a different material or from a different forming process, wouldnt have thought they would have gone to the trouble though...

   It's mass production I can't imagine they opted for different grades either.
