A few modifications

After the Harvey short course, a few modifications needed to be made.

Firstly the front suspension has been modified, heavy duty shocks have been fitted and the mounts have been shifted and the bump stops modified.

All of this should help give the boys a softer landing!

Strap everything down inside!

Whilst the front end was pulled apart, Matt fitted 4.625 ratio diffs front and rear. This should a harder launch off the line!

When the front pads were pulled out and checked, they fell apart in Matt's hand! Now the GQ sports twin spot heavy duty brakes on the front.

Dad and Dave

All of the tuning and modifications made to the GQ make excellent reaseach for the GU project.

X-treme Grip!

There's not much point in having all this horsepower and stopping power if you cant make use of it.

To help transfer this power to the ground, Matt has fitted Simex Centerpede exreme treckers to the GQ.
