Default Recon gearbox and new quaife diff on 2wd, what else??
I'm sending my gearbox and diff to Bara Motorsport this week for full rebuilds and a quaife diff for the rear.
What things while there both out are worth replacing or uprating??

So far I have

Vibra technics gearbox mount
Uprated poly diff mount
Prop centre rubber

Any help would be great

Cheers
Carl

The Vibratechnics gearbox mounts are just way too harsh and transmit shitloads of vibration through the car, horrid IMO. I'd be tempted just to buy a new standard mount instead.
