    FE2 suspension

    all just depends on ur personal preference. i took out my FE2 cos i lightly worked my suspension (springs, shocks, bushes etc.) and mine is sitting just under legal but doesnt always scrape. for me the FE2 wasnt good enough, it didnt handle the way i wanted it and it sat just a little too high.

    gearboxes

    lol if u need a new box convert to manual. its much cheaper than rebuilding ur auto box which will eventually die again. manual is more fun and more powerfull and it will also put up the resale value of ur car

    Long Range Fuel Tank...

    V8 drop tanks fit straight in cos the cars were designed to hold them aswell. u can even use ur regular V6 fuel pump in a V8 tank to run ur V6 and yes the V8 tanks were 80L

    Short Shifter?

    u can make a short shifter urself if u hav a rough idea how the gear stick selects gear. all u really need to do is chop the selecter rod ( not the rod connected to ur gear knob )

    vs IRS LSD diff

    GU4 = Single spinner G88 = LSD spinning the tailshaft can make both ur wheels spin even if it isnt LSD one way to check is to have the car jacked up and start it and put it into drive. if both spin, u got LSD, if its just one, someone has deliberatly put that tag on ur diff to trick u
