I wouldn't think the fuel cooler would be very effective such that you'd notice it.

The mud guards I like and think oughta be standard equipment on the XT8 and 808.

I think the gas cooler has almost no effect.

The mudguards improve the lifetime of the rear shock boots and the rear drivetrain, so it's quite nice and i didn't know you could use the Mugen ones on the Xray, great news, i'm going to use them too.

I just picked up one of the RB gas coolers myself and I am going to give it a try. In theory it sounds good but ill let you know what if find out

as for the mud gaurds, I made mine out of a Fiji bottle. its a ridiculous $4 bottle of watter but you get 4 mud guards out of it

yes why as iv had problems with cuts with the fuel line that way but never though of it
as the way it is routed
iv tryed fuel tank, fuel line, filter
front bearing etc
but ok cheers ill route it away
cheers

No proof how or why by my last mugen had realy long fuel lines & it worked great. My 808 could not support long lines without a severe retune & still never ran right.I used the same motor,pipe,air filter,clutch(with new bell) & fuel & pressure lines,not just like but the exact same pulled out of one car & dropped right into the 808 within maybe 30 min.It was super lean with a 20,000 rpm idle as installed when perfedt before. I think it has smaller holes in the 808 tank pickup(old style) & simply could not keep the volume up for that length of line. Never noticed pooper than normal milage betwen long & short lines when it was in the mugen as the original Picco P7 & JP3 pipe was a power house combo but had low milage no matter what I tried till I changed pipes to 086. Any way with the 808 tank(new or old)a shorter fuel line will help with tuning & flame outs.but your still probably gonna run either fuel or pressure line or both up against the pipe wich is cooler than the head but still really hot. Although silicone is a good insulator figuring out how to run both lines on the centerline of the car may help as much as an alum pressure cooler.What thoughts on that?
