6000 - ikeya formula control arms
160 - megan tie rods
500 - daizen sway bars
150 - trd stb
100 - rear stb
and soon to be Top secret coils with roberuta cup kits ~8k.

and that's just suspension, not header/exhaust, rims, bodykit, etc.

Why does this thread keep coming back? It's like a painful reality reminding me how out of control my wish list is. I am about read to unsubscribe to this thread. I no longer wish to think about it.

Thanks,
Just wait to see whats coming! I just dropped more cash in a new engine setup than I paid for the whole car 4 years ago (it was a perfect low mile 97) The cash hurts but the reward should be worth it.

To some people, timeless looks and unlimited potential are worth more than something of greater monetary value. :P
