Previously mentioned about mods to the 008, finally finished it, pic's later
Basically it's got...
Exotek Lower Deck
Tried one of these 18mths ago, this one just seems better, more consistant
Polished bulkheads
Nice & bright
Schumacher Ceramics
Soooo much smoother (& cheaper)
T3 Diff
Gear diff coming
EGR-Mart Alloy centre pulleys
Look great & don't seem to ad extra wear to belts
Titanium Turnbuckles
Just to match the polished bulkheads
H1 - H2 Links on front
Have spare L1 - L2's if needed
L1 - L2's Links on rear
Have spare H1 - H2's if needed
1.2mm EGR-Mart Front sway bar
Cheaper than Xray & just as good
1.1mm Xray Rear sway bar
Couldn't get an EGR-Mart one
T3 Aerial mount
Save weight everywhere!
TRF Shocks with Xray Alloy lower spring plates
Bling
Associated Top Shock mounts (p/n 31250)
Spaced f & r shocks outward about 5mm
6 Deg C Hubs
It's what I prefer
These mods were done to another 08 with standard deck, it had no trouble keeping up with later model cars in club days, mainly 21.5 & stock. It was particularly good at turning in underneath most others. Only tried this car today & it seems quite good
All up it cost $140 to build including lower deck, using an existing 08 & spares I already had on hand.
A worthwhile exercise & for most users, I'd imagine it would negate the need to update to a later car if you were on a budget
