I have around $12,000 including the car. I bought the car with 102,000 miles about 2 years ago. By next spring I’m thinking I’ll have about $14,000 tied up in it. What an expensive hobby. 🙂 ---

hmm… id have to get the calculator out… but its a LOT, I have $10K in just the bolt on turbo kit / fuel system / lines / pumps / etc… this is WITHOUT any $ for drivetrain / transmission / clutch / suspension / exhaust / interior / electronics (boost controllers, etc) / AEM EMS / etc… parts. Was it worth it? Well the feeling of the car without any tuning on low boost was pretty serious compared to the stock twins that went 11.7, there was not much traction in 1-2 & 1/2 of 3rd gear. Cant wait till the spring tuning / race gas / high boost! ---

After looking through this thread, I decided to go back through all my receipts and add it all up. In engine mods alone, I have roughly $10,490 Add suspension, small stereo mods, some interior pieces, wheels and tires, it comes to about $12,711. I paid $5,800 for the car over 3 years ago. :madfawk: Lots of money. ---
