Okayyyy, point noted. My apologies.

Dude, no offense on the pricing, but it was just a statement and nothing more. It depends more on how one perceives the statement.

If really intend to own the car till scape I suggest you do up the engine area first (engine casket, radiator, hose etc) then proceed with the brakes & suspension, maybe also do up the wiring (if its in a horrific messy/condition) :D Have fun with it, do bring it out to showcase your car in future meetup.

Haha. Hoping to keep the car till scrape. I done the engine area slightly already. Wiring is a nightmare, and that is an understatement in itself.

Got a lot more things to do, don't really know where to start to make it look presentable. So slowly do bit by bit and as it goes along. LOL.

Woo!!! $130 per piece? Okay if I going to speed and all that.

But what about tyres just for point to point driving for the moment? I need to go cheapskate for a while. Haha...

If U don't mind a noisy tire can consider Yokohama Sports AVS. Good on wet condition. Similarily can also try Dunlope 101. Normal tire can go for michellen.
