The car only has 9000kms so I would have been pretty upset if they hadn't, modified or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sh*t hits the fan, can't hold car at any speed without the rpm jumping everywhere , weird noises and just feels terrible.You will definitely notice if it happens , unmistakable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
