well. i wanna write about my modding experience. i did alot of stupid things to the car i guess. spent maybe $3.5k in all, to mod and to repair the car. it is ALOT of $$, but then a FCON VPRO is $5k+. so i aint tt hardcore. haha. and i had alot of fun. and learnt alot. so guess its $$ well spent. i spent it over 3 years too. so... not that bad la. ok i know im a spendthrift. haha. stop trying to justify myself eh
most stuff are not really impt i guess. the only mods i think are worth the $$ are the rims, springs, strut bar and short shifter. so i shall do these for the next car. tts it. no additional useless mods i hope. though the momo is good and looks nice to boot. but cars nowadays have airbags usually. and they arent grey and look like crap. so.... good enuf for me i hope. remus.... have never gotten round to getting it. it doesnt look fierce and doesnt sound very fierce la i admit. and its so exp. too bad. haha. save the $$ for the next car's exhaust. i'll probably try the replica recaros. seems reasonable to give it a try and know for sure if bucket seats are good. and im considering fixing up the dent at the boot. if it aint too exp i'll do it up. else.... too bad. juz live with it.
guess a 2nd hand car is out of qn. my dad aint too keen about it. and anyways im spending so much $$ already. might as well get a new one. more shiok. so.... doubt i'll buy one now too. current car still owe maybe $3.5k. wait awhile ba. no rush. was really tempted to get one now though. currently considering a few cars. but no point coming to a decision now. lets juz keep my options open and wait and see....

dekitting after action review
back to posting about my car! haha
1) dekitted my Philips Diamond Vision back to the stock Philips bulbs. difference is.... more yellow. not white. conclusion: this mod is purely cosmetic.
2) dekitted my gauges. voltmeter is pretty useless. vacuum.... quite useful. can control my right foot. but.... nv fix also nvm la. i always WOT anyway.... haha. conclusion: not that cosmetic, but not really vital too.
3) dekitted my momo millenium steering. now i feel like driving a lorry. but its slightly easier to turn. very slightly. but needa turn bigger. no sharp response.... conclusion: i'll miss my momo.
4) dekitted my short shifter. oh man im driving a bus now! the shift is sooo LONGGGGGGGG. conclusion: i'll miss my short shifter too
5) oh yes dekitted my open pod filter too. low end is better. but high end..... suffered. and the sound is gone! conclusion: i'll miss my pod...
6) dekitted my momo airleather aluminium last time.... guess gear knobs are all the same to me. momo leather is shiok but the holes collect dirt... conclusion: purely cosmetic
7) dekitted my scoop and spoiler long ago. conclusion: ugly cosmetics. very glad i removed them. lol
8) changed from 13" to 15" to 17". better handling. and looks good!!! haha.
