The Mark II X100 is finally getting the parts it needed to start performing the way it looks! The boring GX100 open differential was the first thing that needed to go. The worn out bushings and arms also weren't going to cut it when it came time to install an IS300 limited slip differential and axles in the Mark II. So, we decided to go with Xcessive Manufacturing poly differential and subframe bushings. Since we would be in the area, it seemed like a good time to also get the Serial9 rear bushing kit that include traction arm, lower control arm, and rear upper control arm bushings. With all the bushings solid, it was only right to get some adjustable rear arms. So, we went with a D-max rear adjustable arm set and paired it with an Odyssey Fab eccentric lockout kit to keep that alignment locked in. Since the JZX100/GX100 rear subframes are known to be weak when under stress, it was the perfect time to reinforce with an Odyssey Fab weld-in subframe brace kit. We also welded in the Serial9 GX to JZX differential adapter to accept our 2nd Xcessive poly diff bushing. Some cleanup of all the oxidation present was needed and then some paint, but after all was done, a better-than-new subframe was ready to go back in the GX100 Mark II and the first step of the GX to JZX conversion is complete!
Again, HUGE shoutout Josh over at CARS Tallahassee for all the help making this happen and also to Averna's dad for the IS300 axle!
