After obtaining the required items, talk to Laius and give him the materials so he can craft the part you chose. Finish the conversation with Laius to complete this quest.

Should You Choose Engine or Suspension?

Choose Engine for Faster Boost Speed

Choosing the Engine lets Laius craft a custom engine that focuses on maximizing the top-speed of your motorbike when using the boost. This is ideal for players that want some more speed when using the motorbike's boost.

Choose Suspension for Better Top-Speed

Selecting the Suspension option lets Laius craft a custom suspension part that prioritizes high-speed when riding the motorbike. This custom part sacrifices some handling for a faster top-speed and acceleration without having to use up your Nitro (or boost) gauge.
