Idrewfelix - I have modded, replaced or restored just about every part of the car except the body/paint. So I wouldnt have the most fixed up, restored and modified SC
on the boards.
Ms.Emerald probably holds that title.

Interesting thread.....its good to know that one is not alone in this "hobby"...more like addiction. I'm at a total of $18k thus far into my car, including the cost of the car itself. Not really too bad and definately worth the expense

Volk LE37 Wheels + Tires $2,500
5 Speed Manual Swap $1,000
Megan Racing Coilovers $800
NOS Wet Nitrous Kit $500
Vertex Lip $500
HID’s (headlight + fog) $500
LS400 Brakes $250
Exhaust $250
AEM Wideband $200
Injen Intake + K&N Filter $150
Tint $150
A hair under $7,000 now... it'll probably be about $9,000 to $10,000 in mods after going NA-T (again, but a bigger turbo this time around
), lowering the compression (head gasket), etc.
It's all good though, since I've won somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 gambling in the past 6 months

.....
Definitly more than $25k in mods not including the cost of the car... and still about $15k from my goal 9s time slip, jaw dropping looks, unique interior and more than 1000bhp.
