Bilstien (Black) front shocks 31 321 127 524B 2 pcs = RM420.00
Bilstien (Black) rear shocks 33 521 127 491B 2 pcs = RM310.00
Gear Knob Ori 25 111 434 495 1 pc = RM90.00
O Ring gaskat for the wiper at body Right side 1 pc = RM8.00
(61 611 355 821)
Front Shock Dampers 31 331 124 449 2pcs = RM50.00
Total = RM878.00

probably DIY if my son help me to borrow clamps for shocks.

Its alway the case the stupid wheel nuts became tight and just can'nt open with normal spanner, use to tighten by hand unless before this I did the half shaft service and not at the w/shop they use that stupid air spanner I'll screw them today, have to go to w/shop to change my absobers today.

RM4.00 up is alot man, mine you I use to fill my car full and normally when its 1/4 I fill up or less and never go beyond 50 bucks on my e30, lately surprise me first time I fill RM70 full tank and I still have slightly less then 1/4 in the tank just like a 7 series I remember using a friend car fill up 80 bucks, now can feel it as it goes up 30cents at 1 go.

Base on the latest fuel price, my fuel comsumption is about 20cents/km :blink: , previously is around 16cents/km. BTW, I hardly drive with A/C on coz drive to work early morning - weather is still cold, finish work late - already sunset :yes: .

Another thing is that I always fill up half tank to minimise the vehicle's weight - like F1 strategy. Further more I guess it's safer to carry less fuel onboard if accident happens, make sense kah?

BTW, forgot to mention that I'm using Projet 92 & Caltex 92 unleaded fuel.

1st time ever last week, i filled up my tank and it cost me RM77.24. While petrol still at RM1.62/ltr, it will cost me approximately slightly above RM60.

My routine; i'll fill it up when the needle goes to red zone and let the pump automaticly stop when it "consider" full.

bro,

oe advise...dun make it a habit to wait until 'red zone'.....not good for your pump....

Gave up DIY as I just can'nt open a nut from the tyres even that workshop find it hard as they are the one who did it and get it. I hate it where to open tyres so bad on this e30 never had so bad on other cars I own. WHY? I was charge RM 120 for fixing all four absobers. now I got to get new front Disk and pads its bad, time to get new. Nothing like having new absobers nice ride but I can still hear some iretating sound somewhere at the back could be my rims and tyres as my back need a new pair and rims all have dents.
