You really want to get live with those RB's, get the inlets and PI from burger (full E85). We're talking about 600+whp. It's already been dynoed

With the LSD, you should be tearing sh** up.

Looks good. I like the performance mods you have there. The red interior actually looks pretty good with that exterior color as well.

Titles a little cocky. I guess you could go up against MDORPHN at VIR to see if it's true

What is better than a 1m ? Or what are you going to do that a 1m can't? Aside from grey paint and red seats?

ShocknAwe · 03-08-2015, 08:10 PM

Any suspension work?

The end goal is to be faster and more sure-footed than a stock 1M. Not very hard to achieve.

not hard to make faster in a straight line...but to make more 'sure footed' you're gonna need MUCH more than just coilovers and some small mods you have listed....

go see ilikebmxbikes's build to see it done right.
