There are three things to note, firstly I don't have the time to go to sultan ka khoo to procure those parts anymore, I've literally spent half of my teenage doing that (for my project cars) lol - secondly I personally hate driving to Pindi with the rush and obnoxious-drivers, especially if I have to go myself without the driver. I would rather pay the extra and keep myself physically and mentally sane to avoid all the nonsense. Most importantly I know that whatever part is being put in my car will be genuine and of decent quality regardless of being kabli - that's the peace of mind I need with the 15 year old Accord.
The alternator literally did it's due time so I don't feel bad about it. The vibration caused by the mounts were so minimum that besides myself, some else couldn't even feel it - but as it's my daily I just wanted perfection in the drive.
Honestly, I can't wait to have my car back lol.
