Why didn't you say so with the spark plugs, how much are they anyway?

PS. The bodykit is going to cost me at least 2k more... they claim the shipment is considered a cargo and needs custom clearance and sh1t, and the GBP 500 only covers the shipment cost to the hk airport, would you believe that? Man! Does that body kit cost me or what! This is likely the body kit will end up costing me around 25k at the end
To be honest, I would not recommend you to buy this bodykit. Not only high shipping cost, also the fitting can be a real problem. Like my Rieger front bumper, it is comparatively much higher / taller than other fronts such as the ACS or M-Tech. So if you don't have coilover shocks, it will touch the ground easily. Now since it is already on the way, lets cross your fingers and hope all go smoothly.

Ricky-san,

It took around 8 to 9 sec to reach its limit (180) from 0, this thing is crazy....

Nah...it wasn't the road, all jap cars are limited to 180km/hr.

I got it delimited so it can break 180 and the the flash should add 10 additional HP to the car as well.

Cheers,
Mike

as for the spark plug I will start a group buy and see what offer they can give us.

wnshie and et you 2 must have a set too to go with your gin san.
dont forget you dont have to use them just yet only change them at your next oil change.
I still have about 4k km on my car so I will change my about end of the year.
these are about $250hk each

1. pinguhk 10 plugs
2. keith84_uk 6 plugs
3. wnshie 6 plugs (but I think AK_47 told me mine is different from yours; mine needs a longer reach, so I think I need the "dg1" model)

AK_47 and ricky san, please check this out for me? (the ad with models showing)
