i also found that the CAT is bad. and it only block up my engine more. so i poke it out. as u can see, they are already useless.

Front or rear rotor? Apex seal broke or Carbon lock caused it.

Also, what's your total bill like (excl Ah Choy's ticket and accomodation and misc )

This is worse than I thought... the bill came up to more than 10k.... By the way, did you have the light flywheel install since you took out the engine... I will leave Benny to explain to you what is the cause of it as he mentioned to me was due to many reasons.... Benny doesn't really redline the car most of the time la...
