The best thing about stripping a car down is you can get every part of it clean and inspected. I drive my XB with a bit of respect for the terrain as to not 'try' and damage things but you just have to have a good thrash from time to time. My XB had tiny gravel and grit everywhere so doing this strip down has allowed me to give everything a pretty deep clean.
While it's like this I think I'll mill some CNC carbon fiber shock mounts and replace the alloy. I do have access to a CNC machine so can create my own hop ups. I'll post some pics at a later date once I have them milled. For now the XB will get a Diff service now too and then it's ready for the rest of the summer :)
On reflection....
I will still mill some carbon parts but to co-ordinate my Strada XB with my iON XB I've splashed out and ordered some new alloy parts.. all anodized gold/orange .. These parts are HSP oem parts from eBay, you can get them in several colours from purple to red... I love the Orange!
I've also ordered some new shoes...
