hi Brayden, sorry to hear we couldn't get enough numbers, for now.

you mentioned that a group buy would see this set of hoses grabbed for around $100-$120.

just wondering, what is the normal retail price for these outside of a group buy scenario and are they an easy part to get a hold of?

TIA

1987 Alto seats

are there any upgrade options? i would like to replace the seats in my alto as there is no adjustment on them, only to slide them forward or back.

will the seats out of something like a swift fit straight in? or any other models?
