It hurts to think about all that I spent on the turbo in the last 12 months.

Does that include the car?
My car was $2200.
My T2 engine plus shiny parts (IC, Piping) cost me $2000.
Tools have cost me about $1500.
Electrical bits have cost about $200.
Front spoiler $100
Front cover modification + sump = $160.
I'm still nowhere near completion and I've looking at:
$500 EWP and thermo controller
$1000 flywheel/clutch
$1000 ECU
$500 fuel system
$1500 suspension
$1500+ brake rotors
Then there's asthetics:
$1500 mags & tyres
$1000 paint (maybe less if I can find mates of mates)
$500 side skirts/rear spoiler?
I've prolly missed a bunch of stuff.
Then theres the 81 I have big plans for. I'm not even going to start with that. Sheesh.

I know the feeling.I just updated my mods lists on both cars and it looks like I will have spent almost 10g's on my GT-X before the paint goes one.And thats if I don't buy a widebody kit and throw this kit on my 83.At least my NA engine bay is sweet and simple. BTW this is without the costs of the junkyard car either.

156 bucks. that includes the car and the new alternator i had to replace. other than that i've only spent gas money and of course the usual oil changes. thats onthe 83,
on the turbo II i've only spent 800 bucks, and with all the extras i've sold that came with the car, i pretty much got it for free.
I'm picking up a 79 shortly and i'm not dropping a penny on that one either. guess its just luck. too bad none are fast yet.
so all in all, i haven't even spent a grand and on 3 rx-7s.
