Car sent to Ah Jin for some parts replacement(after the buying frenzy
during the Fiat Carnival)...next it is being collected by Ah Jin's friend
for complete paint job with Galsurit...decided against the body kit coz my
Abarth bumper was damaged during the recent accident..so now sticking with
original bumper again... will see the car in 2 weeks time...

If you are really interested, my Abarth front bumper is for sale. It is
slightly damaged but repairable. It needs a paint job too to match your car
color. I will leave the bumper at Ah Jin some time next week for viewing.

Thanks.

gurjit,
nice job on your ride..

but 1 thing to ponder,i notice the word 'extreme' there after the
dynamat..so what's the difference between the ordinary dynamat?..if i were
to DIY to get this mat fixed up in my ride,is it possible to buy the
material alone?

for your dynamat job,how much would it cost?.and btw,firewall proofing is
also a good option to get rid of the engine sound.but i prefer to install
it inside just behind the dashboard.yes it'll cost a lot for the labour
since dashboard job is really complicated but the result is nice and neat.

it's indeed not 'one' thing..hehe..

Thanks for your compliment.
I was recommended Dynamat Extreme by KK Lau so I really do not the
difference. But it did dampen the vibrations from the door and floor.
However there is some from the room and dash area...maybe that's what I
need to do next. The cost was RM2000++

The car just returned from a paint job, some parts change (bought from
Torino during Carnival Sale) and new rear exhaust from SuperSprint.

Next need to do the centre dash as some vent hinges were broken. Need to
wrap the steering with leather too....etc

Recently acquired 15inch Punto HGT rims (gun metal color) and they are going on the Brava. Apparently, Ah Wah of Consistent Distinction recommended 195/50/R15 instead of the 195/55/R15 because there was a possibility of the tyres rubbing against the inner side of the car. I dunno why but Ah Wah loves recommending Kumho?!

Also did some conversion to my standard Brava. Changed the headlamps from standard to polyelipticals from Fiat Marea. Also, installed centre arm rest and console from Marea. Also had Ah Jin from Good Work Auto to change the front windscreen washers to mist type. Apparently, got it done after seeing Joske of Fiat Bravo Forum (UK) published the step-by-step instructions.

Anyway, then sometime this year got Eibach springs installed. The ride-not bad at all. Already had Eibach anti-roll bars installed some years ago.

Yesterday, send the car to Ah Jin and found out the alternator and power steering pump kaput. Getting it replaced. Looks like the car has got a lot of parts replaced.

Next project? The standard stereo is going to be replaced by....standard stereo with single CD player (rare unit...got it from E-bay)....till then, cheers.
