Apollo 1st Gear December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 well 1st u got to do ur sum. if u keep spending, ur next new car will b further delay. so the next best thing is called hope. buy 4D and hope. buy toto and hope. but if u save all the $$ to buy 4D and toto no nid to hope. confirm is cold hard cash.. temp ard 10degC. 1/ respray car.. why must? 2/ new ICE? is it necce? 3/ steel braided hose... dun think is a must. at least not a 2.5 yr old ride. when u last change brake fluid? a new fully bleed fluid will set u back under $50 and works charm.

Gadgeter 2nd Gear December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 I would install brake hose first, then spray then install ice. Just my take.... And no need to show off you are going to have thick thick bonus hor.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 How long do u intend to keep your sunny? If you plan to scrap it in the next 2-3 yrs, then no point spending the $$. As one bro suggested, keep the $$ for your next ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 Dun bother with it cos most prob you will itch again as soon as its done! Esp when you see the new FIT. Save up the money, endure a bit/while then go for the FIT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearbear1494 Clutched December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 If it were me, I'd just do up the ICE. But no custom work like fiberglass enclosures etc. Cos ICE is just about the only things that can be carried over to your new car anytime, so even if have to spend money, it's only on the installation. Stuff like bodykit, new paint job etc cannot be transferred, so once you spend the money on those, it dies with the current car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Neutral Newbie December 4, 2007 Share December 4, 2007 Your paint should not be that bad, just need some restoration and grooming. Go to some professional grooming centre for guarantteed result, rather than respray whole car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no need to show off you are going to have thick thick bonus hor.. hahah think most prob will be doing up my stock ice... transferable... for the spray... cos my car kanna a lot of lorry door so there deep dent and scratches here and there... brake think i leave it alone... since i'm still covered under TC warranty... most prob this way the car will continue drive laio all the way before 5th year... then see can change or not...
