Next mod? New tyres :)
Janner_Sy:
mikee i told you last night you HAVE to get WMIon your car or a diff. no other challengers
Hurdy:
Get a WOTbox fitted, I've been in Owenlcr's car and it's foooooooking amazing.
Also you need a Quaife ATB LSD
Also The new OZ superturismo WRC wheels (7kg for 18's :drool:) alongside TOYO R1R's (best compromise for road and track and don't sound as loud as R888's)
I'd wait on the hybrid K04 to see what Jabbalad's car performs like - you may need REVO stage 3 to get the best from it.

revo stage 3 is for k03 cars converting to k04!!!
Surely the best option would be to let to jabba custom map it as they should have already done their own car by that point.

Ah forgot about the wot box :)
might get one in the next few weeks. Then wmi. When I get back to Germany I'll get my wheels and tres duty free and by then the ko4 hybrid will be tried and tested :)

above40hp
look at it this way you are already at stage 2+ realistically looking at aout 340-360hp. so your car is by no means slow in any way shape or form
So until the new hybrid is setup and you have sen the results of the WMI lets take a look at the handling/braking, which lets be fair is probably more important than the power.
your running a lot of power through just the front wheels, ive driven yours and we both know its not hard to get the wheels spinning, and with those new tyres id bet they are even worse lol.
Id say with your suspension you are sorted, you have one of the top few suspension kits, ARBs and WALK, so your pretty much as far as you can go, so how else could you reduce te wheelspin/gain traction both in the straight line and whilst cornering which wil ultimately make your car faster.
LSD (better traction off the line and whilst cornering plus reduced understeer)
TT lower control arms(much more cornering grip)
Poly bush the entire car( more steering feel and responsiveness)
R8 rear 4 pot calipers to bolt on straight over your 345mm discs (better brakes is aleays a plus, with a wider choice of performance pads available)
