Default Project opinions

Sup yall. I need a little help with something real quick. I will have access to about $450 next week and was stuck between a couple of options and just wanted yals opinion on what I should do.

I'm getting my car dropped so thats gunna eat up about $70 for an alignment and an oil change for about $60. I was thinkin about going ahead and getting an UDP, and stuff to detail my car as I got a pc not too long ago.

I was also thinkin about flushing my coolant (doesn't have to happen, but thought it might be about time). I also was noticing that my brake fluid is getting a little dark.

My thinking is, I have the money now to get the UDP and detail stuff and can work on my maintenance stuff graduall over the next month or so. Let me know what yall would do.

Do the maintenance buddy cuz you don't know if something can get worst... also I didnt understand about 60 bucks for oil change was that an aprox or you will pay someone to do it.. Also before buying antifreeze open it up and take a look at it if it smells really bad, time to change it, also make sure you flush it several times with water what way the new antifreeze will be clean, when i did mine I made a mistake of doing it once....

5 qts of Mobil 1, an oil filter, and a oil drain pan usually = somewhere around $60. I was also thinkin about taking the it to a shop and have them use a pressurized machine for the coolant flush (i know people there and can get a good deal).

Tokico HPs are also something I can look into to compliment my springs.
