Took a trip to see an "uncle", who sells car parts and such for my car. It was a good trip and once again by the time i left there i was dreaming of all the mechanical goodness i could cram into my car before i die.
Most notably were the steel braided hoses to replace the crap ass rubber OEM POS (Read: pieces of shit). Having just fixed my ABS (Cost: wrong side of RM1,500, actual price was RM1,700), i was very much leaning towards getting a pair of hoses for my car to circumvent any spongy brakes. Last thing i need is my brakes not to respond as they should. Of course, just brake lines (RM180) alone won't satisfy this cat's curiousity. So, i tried to weasel a discount price on a rear strut bar - RM125. I figured nothing was too good for the Chin Chin La, so, i will probably end up getting both in the near future (3 weeks to a month).
The most unfortunate thing about all this is that i wish the car was properly sorted when i first bought it. I guess the old adage is true 'Secondhand car? Secondhand problems.' I can only imagine if i had spent the 1,700 on some cams or something absolutely ridiculus like quad throttle bodies........ All this just to be the most unique Satria GTi, knowing full well there are about a hundred plus thousand other GTi's out there. What a revolting developement.
