Yeh, you did not mention anything about sleaving.

Have you any idea on how much sleaving cost's? I know its one of your questions but its quite pricey. You've mentioned above a "mild build". As said there are other things you can do. Your stock sleaves are fine for just about anything NA. You'll only need sleaves on a hard core setup.

Yes I could have, but I didn't, because the OP asked.....

Yes pretty aware that it will leave a huge hole in my pocket but its cheaper than buying a new car. Maybe I'll leave the disp and just build it a bit. I'm wanting to be safely and efficiently running about Toda B's in the future.
