You see championship white with alot of bird shit, that probably my car. That's why I am so diligent on washing my car every saturday. I wash, they poo, i wash, they poo. 👿 That's because birds like to poop on white cars. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current cheapo suede alcantara look alike one is flaking everywhere. Dunno smelly or not look so disgusting. Have been looking for alcantara but so difficult to find for my wheel size. Hope to dress it on my steering wheel in one week's time 😁 Try google for Wheelskinz. There may have it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic October 24, 2020 Share October 24, 2020 (edited) I didn't buy a COE car but i renewed COE of my car, but the outcome is the same - a COE car. I spent about 2+k on a set of used rims with new tires. I wanted that rims because they are very easy to wash to compensate the amount of dust generated by the brake pads. Hard to find any rims that is easier to wash than this set 😅 Edited October 24, 2020 by Ct3833 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobayashiGT Internal Moderator October 29, 2020 Author Share October 29, 2020 I chance upon this post at Unusual or rare car thread and it strikes me why I never do a car with pop-up headlight! So here I am again giving it a try! Car: 1980 Porsche 924 https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=904588 So. . . If I own this car and I were to spend $3,000 for mods. . . New chrome Headlight Housing - $400 This will help to shoot more light at night for this old charm. Safety first! HELLA HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) HEADLIGHTS 4300K - $80 Plastic Restorer - $16 & a bit of hardwork. The interior of the car just need a bit of restoring! This should works! Fuel Filter - $30 The owner has rebuilted the engine, but sometimes it might be overlooked the importance of a fuel filter. A/C Compressor - $600 I will just change out the compressor too. To ensure the "coolness" of this car have reached its optimum. K&N Replacement Air Filter - $200 I cannot find exhaust for this gem! So just to make the car noiser. I think K&N will helps! Delios Brake Disc & Brembo Brake Pad - $900 I will try to keep this car as stock as possible, but safety cannot be compromised! Hel Stainless Steel Brake Hose - $300 Rigid Collar (From Spoon Sports) - $400 This will greatly improve this old gem. Effectively filling the gaps and stopping any unwanted movement. There you have it! Here's my mod's list for the pop-up headlight Porsche 924! New chrome Headlight Housing - $400 HELLA HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) HEADLIGHTS 4300K - $80 Plastic Restorer - $16 & a bit of hardwork. Fuel Filter - $30 A/C Compressor - $600 K&N Replacement Air Filter - $200 Delios Brake Disc & Brembo Brake Pad - $900 Hel Stainless Steel Brake Hose - $300 Rigid Collar (From Spoon Sports) - $400 Total : $2,926 😄 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobayashiGT Internal Moderator November 7, 2020 Author Share November 7, 2020 This is for you @keechiu 🙂 So here I am again sharing my $3K mods for Mitsubitshi Lancer EX this time! https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=935371&DL=2692 I will upgrade the rims for this one. Rota Grid. 17 x 8 +35 - $1600-ish? This car no needs a TE37, but still can't compromise on the wheels. Rota is a good brand at an affordable pricing. 🙂 Front Strut Bar - $100 To strengthen the front upper chassis and to minimize front chassis flex. BC Racing BC V1 Coilover. - $1,450. This increases the capacity of the unit which increases the volume of oil contained which in turn reduces the peak temperature and so significantly improves damper performance. The Lancer EX have alot of potential for mods. But I think for the start, these are the ones I will really do for Lancer. Once you got the foundation (handling) right, you can upgrade the power and all. Rota Grid - $1600 Front Strut Bar - $100 BC Racing BC V1 - $1,450 Total - $3,150. Okay, slightly over budget. But I think it is all worth it. 🙂 Cheerios! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
