Well it was standard shitty borin RR when i got it and the first mod was alot of things in one go............... not gonna list them but In my members section basically everything on the car was and is still bein done in one go.
Hopefully in 6-8months I can get ready to do all the second set of mods
Then 18-20months AFTER that I might be able to consider portal axles and 38s
