i'll soon have one with the basic upgrades (bb's, awd, suspension/ tierods), and i'd be interested in the alloy drive cups i see around. but i don't see alloy "dog bones" around. is this because they are metal already?

and i'm interested to know where you do most of your aftermarket part shopping. stuff like cf driveshafts, alloy wheels, etc.

Jump on Ebay, you can find bearings cheap. Like anywhere from $7-$15 shipped. I don't know how being down under affects this, but check it out. Also just flip thru the boards and see whos selling stuff cheap, most of the shops are on the exspensive side, but if you can run into someone sellin' their stuff privately, it'll almost always be cheaper. I personally love Ebay for parts.

For CF parts, I've been hittin' up RC Butlers (wherebsara), and for bearings, VXB (Irvineman). Some go by names other than their product name.

As far as alloy wheels, if you find some, point me that direction.

I'd say stick to private and Ebay sales, unless you find something you really want and can't find anywhere else. If I can help with any parts, just let me know.

Yeah. All that stuff he said.

Plus, all that GPM stuff should be available soon, too.

Knuckles. Stock up on knuckles. Your driveway/carpark/whereever you bruces are always filming... those joints between the slabs out there look like they are going to eat some knuckles...

Did I mention that I can't wait to get me some GPM knuckles?
