Message	my suggestions for saving money: you don't HAVE to get the exhaust now. Rebuild the Brake Master Cylinder instead of replace if you have the time: find a used injector on classified and just replace the one - if the rest do end up going bad, this will cost a little more in the long run, but it will save you money now and give you some time to prepare Get some knowledgeable TT.net members to do the work for way cheaper
