The Red 9 kit? Looks great, I'd be interested to hear how it performs. Nice one.
Hopefully a little bit better than it fits ,it's taking a bit of modifying to get it into it , should have it out tomorrow .
It's definitely going to need skid plates and will have a look at anti roll bars after that
Now on its second lowest coarse ( rough ) setting , springs set halfway and shocks on softest setting .
Steering is much lighter , suspension is very soft , rubbing wheels arches on braking and heavier bumps so need to wind it up a couple of inches cause I don't feel like tubbing it and play with shocks for a nice setting.
Initial drive was good , steering lighter and more direct and reacting to bumps much better , though a fair few of the parts needed modifying or improvement .
Brakes are much nicer no more juddering when exiting warp speed though its going to need a servo to do them justice .
Tracking ,camber , castor still need to be done , new brake lines made turning circle improved , and calipers shimmed .
The rear will be getting adjustable spring plates , its already had some mild clearancing done and doesn't need much more ..might play with a antiroll bar on the back even though its not recommended will probably try out a front one on there anyway.

I don't think so !.....this bus is all about contrast , you either get it or you don't just like any custom job....more sound controlled l.e.d's and metalflake fabric to follow :-O
Headlining came came from an interior panelling company in Austria

Maybe I'll paint it when I get completely jaded with asking me when I'm going to paint it ( which is fairly regular ) ...then again maybe not !
It'd be a damn shame to paint that bus.. Looks cool as fook as is. Saw it in the metal at vantastival
Had a good look at it in Fermoy - Interior is brilliant, especially the upholstery. Neon is a great addition too!
Paint is overrated. Its got bags of character as it is. Just keep doin what you're doin with it - done nothing wrong so far!
