Default Kyosho Inferno MP7.5 upgrade ideas?

I will buy the Inferno MP7.5 Kit very soon. I have heard that some upgrades needs to be done.
I think I have to upgrade to the following items:
- metal spur gear (ifw310)
- metal clutch bell (ifw47)
- new brake disk (ifw122) - neccessary?
- new rear and front shocks, but I am not sure...anyone have some suggestions?

I also think I want to increase the effect on the original Kyosho Inferno MP7.5 engine.
Anyone knows how much extra effect the trim motor IFW37 pipe does to speed and effect?

BR Oskar

Edit:
Since I am a beginner at this I don't want to put too much money at start

You may also want to go for thicker shock towers.

Ok thanks. Do you know what item # they have?
Do you have any idea about the effect ifw37 pipe? Will the difference be big?

Edit:
btw, are upgrades worth the effort for inferno 7.5 at all?
... I guess I will be more interested in getting a whole new car very soon? (like mp777 or Mugen mbx-5)

Get the 777 instead. I still love my Kanai III (even more than the SP1) but it's getting harder to get parts for it now.

I see you are from Göteborg. I was born there and moved to the US in 2002.
Are you racing at VĂ€st-8? I've seen they have been working on a new 1/8 track.

E' de' blÄvitt som gÀller eller!?

Ok, cool. Would love to hear someone that could tell us about the difference between the MP777 and Mugen MBX-5!!??
I can buy a Mugen MBX-5 for 4995 SEK ($649) but then I need both engine, 2ch radio, servo and startbox...so the price kind of increases

Ahh, I see . Yes, [link=http://www.vast-8.se/typo3/index.php?id=7]VĂ€s-t8[/link] it is, but since I havent bought me a car yet I have only been the crowd so far :P. It is a really nice on-road track. They have started to fix the off-road track just recently and hopefully many more will be interested so the interest of improving it even more will increase.
Hehe, my football interest is low, but sure - BlÄvit is better than all else :P
Ice hockey and Frölunda Indians is the thing
