just a simple q/a…

i waste more money on toy’s then anything… can t wait till there all fixed and done! and fyi… im not talking about rice modifications like body kits or neon’s… or that kind of gay shit…

over my yr’s…

91pgt 1500$… bought i/e/testp/dp/cone filter greddy profec b ebc… @ 16psi 600$ netted 13.8@99 14.0@ 103.7 stock turbo… stock clutch… 2100-2200$ car… well worth it i-m-0… [2nd time owning it]

klze93pgt… 3500$ car … tons of money invested… went from a 15.0 to 14.7 after i put a ton of money into it… waste of time… good auto cross car though total off 11k w/car sold it as soon as it ran 14.7

89 turbo six… current car 1200$ best et/per dollar yet… cone filter/greddy profec b boost controller 11psi other then that all stock… 133k. 14.3@95 total of 1500$

with new mods ill have a total off around 5k w/car, WHICH actaully don t sound right… ill have to check up… including paint/wheels/suspension/rebuilt head… new turbo… hks pipes… dsr 3 inthc dp-back… remapped ecu… bbs 12 lb wheel’s… full suspension… ect ect…

and 7psi it feel’s really strong…

so im hoping for at least decent times… if not ill sell it to…

01 kawasaki zx6r… - fun… but i blew it up… 850ish to get a 2k mile motor… not sure if im happy with it or not… all though it was my fault it blew…

Paid around $22K new, will have around $6K in it, so if it’s faster than a stock newer F-body (we’ll see), and I enjoy doing it, then i guess it was worth it.

Definitely cheaper to buy used and put money into it, but new is nice too. I mean, there are a lot of guys on here with way faster cars than mine that put a lot less into them.
