yiukeng.. for whatever money you will have to pay for the car.. do allocate 4-5K to change all rubber hoses, pcv, expansion tank, windscreen seal, bottom covers for peace of mind.. this is essential. forget about anything else first.
then two months later after you recover the initial shock... spend another 1.5k for front upper and lower arms, rear upper and lower arms.
next month.. you will be calling up hay wire to fix your pixel at cluster panel.. and the mid panel.. RM500 and lots of teh tarik..
next.. you will calling up yazmeen to polish your head lights and getting the LED ring.. RM500.. again lots of teh tarik
if you are lucky to have a car that already have a decent after market suspension, then you dun have to spend more on it. otherwise.. 3K for that..
by 6 months.. itchy backside.. look for M5 rims.. plus tyres.. 6K.. then look front .. back.. left and right.. eh.. M5 bodykit missing.. $4K with painting
after that.. hmmm when you were at the rims.. you realised the rotors and brake pads about time.. go KL teamco.. get brembo set.. RM600 per pair rotor + RM385 for front pads... + RM50 for lining sensors + 100 for labour..
one day you go convoy with club member to genting sempah.. suddenly aircon not cold.. then found out regulator burns off .. RM300 and since at it.. might want to check the rest of AC...
after one year.. you will have broken seat side panel.. 500 per pair... and then roof lining suddenly come down like broadway.. rm900
all in all.. if you love ur 39.. at present all cars are at least 10 years .. and you will spend 15-20K extra in the first year to do it up..
bro.. i have done 2 39s.. and this is the common expenses.. we all get sucked in.. anyone tell you any less.. just trying to racun you without telling you the absolute truth!
its fun . .its expensive.. but better than orgasm!!
