Project Rumble Bee
 
I know I haven't posted anything on here in quite a while (like since 2 weeks before I graduated from high school). But, anyway here's my latest project concerning XMODS. Seeing as I am currently unemployed, there were very few upgrades I could do to this car due to a lack of money. So, bear with me until I get my job at Publix. First, I started with a completely bone stock Bumblebee XMOD and the final product is a rally car that I call The Rumble Bee.

This is a list of the mods as they stand right now:
1) Rally rims
2) Two tires wrapped around the rear rims to give the car that agressive muscle car look
3) AWD
4) Stiff (blue) springs in the rear to lift the back end up
5) Soft (red) springs in the front to lower the front end
6) Thicker motor wires to carry more juice/current to the motor
7) 3.5 degree toe-in tie rod
8) Two 3-gram weights discretely hidden in the rear bumper
9) Unneeded pieces of plastic removed from inside the car's body
10) Foam front bumper guard made of window insulation foam
11) Two gold-colored air cleaners from a model car kit glued to the hood

So, what do you all think of my creation? Not to bad for a very limited budget of only $45.00, eh?

I'll upload pics once I correctly resize them to forum standards

Yeah, it seems to me that I'm getting a little more power to the motor.
