Must have upgrades for the MT-5?

[Cain]

Yup for sure. That will be something I will buy.

Hey, Your not too far from me, is there something going on by you for 1/5?

 

[dsomonster]

Wow, are you able to share your source for BNIB MT's for $600. That is a really good deal. PM me if you feel more comfortable with that. If you can't share, I understand, just let me know.

Thanks!

 

[Cain]

I'll see what I can find out and pm you. I think it may be just a deal for me though based on some things we had discussed.

Thanks for the info everyone.For these optional parts, few questions:

- Tuned Pipe -

* Is there one you recommend? CPI

* is there one that shoots the exhaust out the back away from the vehicle?CPI

* Best place to buy the pipe?DDM (DavesMotors.com)

- 8000 RPM clutch DDM

* Suggestions on brand and place to buy? DDM

- 990 or 813 carb 990 DDM

* what are the differences between the two?

* suggested place to buy from? DDM

Can you elaborate (or have a link) to "venting the fuel tank". I recall something like this I think was done on the MCD I had previously, but it was basically all ready to go when I got it, so I am not sure if what I am thinking is the same thing or not.

Lastly, Are there any areas of durability concerns to address? Reading up on the XB's they seem to have more of areas you have to invest in. But it sounds like the MT doesn't?

I apologize beforehand for all the newbie questions. I have pretty much done electric only other than getting the Ike and Tina treatment (I wasn't Ike) by nitro. But having a Gasser for a brief time with the MCD was fun, I just felt too intimidated by it to feel comfortable working on it (the manual didn't help lol) but I figure with something like that that has a pretty good manual from what I have seen, should be a good place to start.

I would look into a CPI pipe, it exits the rear of the vehicle and sounds great. All the parts you are looking for can be found @ davesmotors.com (DDM)

cool thanks. vehicle I got coming has the jetpro side pipe. Is that a good pipe to start with or should I look at something else?

Great deal for six hundred all the add ons are done already...ENJOY...

 

[Cain]

lol was $700, but I think its still a great deal. He did have new ones for $600 but I figured with the upgrades, worth it going this route.

 

[Ildy666]

Still a great deal is that new because its so clean...u will be a kid on x-mas...

 

[Cain]

cool.

Based on what he mentioned to me he didn't run it too much and from the pics it looks that way. The only issue he mentioned was where he would hold it by the bumper I guess part of it cracked I am assuming on the actual bumper part. No worries if thats the case, bumpers aren't ment to be pretty lol.

She'll get the full teardown etc after I fire her up and make sure all works.

But very excited thats for sure.

Enjoy......
