Default Xv-01 the second



State: Partial restoration.

Oh hi!

Yes here is the second xv-01 from eBay. The car came to me in pretty rough shape with all the dampers had no oil and between 3mm and 13mm of travel depending on the corner. Needless to say the car wasn't driving well before being shelved. It has missing bearings, missing screws. Tierods fixed onto random spots because of broken bulkheads. It was a complete mess. I rebuilt most of it from the diffs up. Replaced as many screws as I could with hexes. I put my leftover upgraded suspension and drive parts on and will bag the original parts. This car will be a lifted rally machine. My other xv-01 will remain street-spec TC.

What's a good way to tune for jumps?
