Now, u didn't see me for a week, and my deadlines just past. woo hoo!
James confused me with all the plan i had in mind.
What i wanted earlier:
Block untouched. CTR cams, valves, retainers, adj. cam pulleys, headers, intake. (budget 3.5k)
That's my 2006 budget, and if i'm really really lucky, i could put in some gear ratios.
Now, with all the suggestion coming in, i still have choices of:
a. ITR block, (est. 3k) + all the above.
b. microtech LT4/LT8(est. 3k) + all the above.
c. ITR block + microtech LT4/8 + all the above.
Now, dun forget that the car need spraying. Still saving up.
And also new rubber will be needed soon. AD07 that is.

with noisy exhaust, it doesn't mean ah-lian.
It means that i know my engine will suffocate if i didn't give a bigger route to the exhaust. :)
ah-lian means noisy 5 inch N1 muffler with 1.8 white steel karat piping powered by 1.3 magma sohc 12V under the hood and comes with original steel rim. Better if patches of unsprayed wide bodykit.
That is champion ah-lian.
There are people who still drools at this dull two tone discolored EK. Period.
