Guest paul xr2 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Whats the single best mod youve done to your cab??? Mine was to fit a strut brace Really tightened up the front end and made it feel a lot more stable on our rubbish bumpy roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avul Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 hi paul, yea i thought the Gmax were quite gd, they r very firm but i never had the foot lift off the throttle like u said u had, i just loved the way it just stuck 2 the road & where i'd put the nose thats exactly where it would go, i think its a personal thing but i do like a firm ride, i dont like body roll lol, take it urs is just how u like now? ave u got any pics on the site?

Guest Smiler Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Polybush it with decent superflex bushes throughout. Oh, and completely rebuild it. Maybe the series 1 rs turbo front tie-bar assy? Though when I finaly finish it it might be the 2.0ltr Zetec and series 2 rs turbo lsd gearbox.
