A stroke kit for an upgrade would be good if you're considering to increase some horses ..maybe you should look into the 3.0 stroker kit which comes with the rod's, piston's and the crack. search for a good one from the local half-cut shop or any workshop around klang valley...as for gearbox ...if ya planning to keep your current which I assume is the GM 4sp auto box ...then might else well hunt down a ZF 5 sp with about the same amount as doing the overhaul.but if you're planning to get the manual ...pls make sure the box is complete and do give it a good check prior to the purchase ..as there are a lot of mcgyvers around there days that sells the parts which aren't complete. a complete getrag box may cost you around rm2~4k and the higher end ones like the ZF 5 may be above the 5K mark.as for repainting ...do find a good painter and make sure you replace all the rubber liners...also do consider removing your front / rear mirror as usually the mirror silicone glue may harden over the time... so best time to get it replace with a new mirror if possible ..the rubber liners would set you slightly above rm3k.Also do consider a complete upholstery too if you plan to do it right ...the rest wear and tears are subjective ...if you want to view some ...do look out on the showroom section which I've done a complete documentation of my ride ..enjoy ya day</blockquote>
