Vic are getting aloof, you saved more than that as you will need to make donations etc,. and trips etc,.
and in the end if u don't get into your planned P school, you will go to their Wong chuk hang state of the art$$$ primary school.
each year the principal writes 2 recomendation letter for "sure win" entry to your dream p school, if u can't get one, then it's just another learning platform.

feel confident in your families guys, in my kid's schools, they came from everywhere and not specifically several schools, thats a myth.

chip was 30ps, but the torque and other stuff is also improved, need to test it on capt16..
Intercooler, more colder air, intercoolers reduce the hot air temp by up to 140deg F
or C is that true?

Hot intAke will cause knocking + lower air density will cause slight drop in power.

10k/month? I'd rather spend that on a mistress in Shenzhen.

e.g. watch English TV/ newspaper, speak english to the children when they are young. Give up chinese/ TVB/ "mo liu " TVB comedy.
