Air filter will prib change after the stock one is used up first.
Which will prob be aboput 10,00km later.

Exhaust... wait till something "decent" comes out first...


Sound Proofing... Waiting for the SE to quote.
Not sure which to choose also.
But will @ least do the floors.
Reduce the vibration and road noise.
Doors... will consider later.
But will prob do it in Msia.

But will consider some other simple mods too.
e.g.
CAI - Cold Air Intake
Grounding (May DIY)
Strut Bar if needed
Front head lights to brighter ones... prob not white ones, but one that can see in rain.
Door lights (When opening doors)


ICE?

Too poisonous...
Too ex...
In my prev car, spent too much liow.

But may consider installing LCD on the head rest for the kids if I can find a way to change the HU to play Video.

Well, I am getting a GPS from a friend. 2nd hand so not so hard on the pocket. Then gonna install alarm. Prob get th 2 way one. :-)

Then must understand my situation. This month got 2 weddings to attend. Attended 1 in KL already, and that set me back quite a bit. What with the transport up, the hotel, the angpow, etc. Another one is coming this weekend. Both good friends so you can imagine how bad it is for me. So totally broke to skin and bones already for this month.

Next month I have another 2 weddings as well!! Sigh....and friend from overseas coming to visit too. So that means next month gonna be broke again!! Sigh..... :-(

Nope...

Bought it @ Autobacs,

The size is small.

Anyway....

It's damn hard to put on...

But once it's on... it won't move.

There is one small problem... the back of the boot... near where the rear windscreen is... the gap is quite small... the side is also quite tight.

Sometimes had to release the boot to be able to up the hook on.

Which is also good...

That means... harder for people to steal when you go for your ride.

Some simple DIY.

Dun you hate it when items that are in the door's compartment start sliding around?
e.g.
Street directory?

Here's what I did to stop it.



$2.05



The size required.





No more slipping and sliding.

Managed to put some on my dash board as well but forgot to take a pict of it.
