i am away from my personal workstation so i have a crappy picture of it but here it is any ways.

xmod suspension adapted to run on the minix. they work so much better than the stock but now i need to make a sway bar

now that is cool but was it hard to do? and it looks you got more suspension travel out of it

it was tons of work. i think i put 4 hours non-stop into it. now that i got the basic idea of how to do it i will try and make a simpler way of installing it. when i worked on it, i had limited materials to work with and limited cash at the time. the whole system is made with the suspension upgrade of the xmod (really cheap) CA glue and 2 paperclips

no joke. i made a suspension tower bending and twisting up a paperclip. i will machine a good one from either plastic or 2mm carbon fiber if i can find some

the travel is alittle more than the original and alot smoother. the xmod upgrade has wonderful springs and comes with 3 different sets of 4 for soft medium and hard.

when i get home i will send some higher res pics to show what was done better.

hey 3series, where did you get the xmod skocks? I am thinking of doing this too once I get my X running

3series takumi · #9 10-21-2003, 01:29 PM

can you make me a suspension like that?

can you adjust camber on the mini x?

3series takumi · #12 10-23-2003, 04:01 PM

yes you can. there are little screws on the wheel hubs that you turn to adjust camber
