I have a Infinity G35 EVO and like others i'm having problems with my Rear driveline case.... one of the places where the screw goes split.... so i'm going to be upgrading my whole XMOD to billet. I'm also wanting to go with the stilleto chassis upgrade.... but i'm not sure if i can go with the billet upgrade for the driveline case with the stilleto chassis.... i'm not new to the whole xmod scene but i am new when it comes to these upgrades..... does anyone have a set up close to what i'm wanting?. anyways so far i have all the Radioshack upgrades stage 2 motor AWD everything I could buy I did

These are pieces that broke on my car a lot (the heatsink was better than stock).

I'm not going in with this thing to comps or anything i just want an all around bad @$$ car. and my wife aggrees that since i had to sell alot since we got married that modding the xmod with all i could wasnt a bad idea. I wanted to go Billet since i bought it yeah it's mostly for looks but i know that it will help alot wien i race some of my friends... as far as stacking i'm going 2x3 and running the chilli motor. AWD is a must but it's hard to find the front dogs and other parts i need for that and as far as my other reasons of going all aluminum is because I'm going into the army and I show up for the NOPI atlanta which my old xmod car club won 2 years running first and second and third. I'm looking for a car that is basically going to be up there with the cars that most of us own.... My boy has the series 1 350z and he's running all carbon fiber.... but i need more grunt.. i dont mind the weight i'm not going to race much if at all. and I'm sure running the Chilli will more than make up for the weight if not then I'll go with a stronger motor.... I just like the look of the stilleto... but i dont know like i said i'm not new to the xmods i've had them since series 1 I had the Mustang which i went all carbon with.... but now i'm wanting to go all metal so i was just trying to figure out some stuff... you guys get it bigger is better and more power is better haha that's how we roll

The quality is much better, the control is better, and there are still lots of shiny aluminum parts.
