Yeah, and that isn't facorting in the lost cost for parts I have changed out like my wheels/tires, springs, and manual boost controller. I am surprised your cost is that high as well. You throw any labor in? I am lucky enough to have installed everything myself. I don't want to think about labor costs I saved.

Amazing car.. Must feel like a night and day difference vs stock in a straighline..

Well done sir. Even more impressive that you did all the installation.

So the real question is when do you stop? Are you happy with it at this point?

No, not throwing labor cost for Clutch and now warped flanges, but it was under $500. I installed everything else. I need to crunch out numbers a bit more and will add it to first post in my build thread.

Now is when I stop. I am very happy with it right now. All the performance and more of a Cayman R for a little more than half the price. The bank account is dry, and I am happy with the car. I would still like to add some more exterior mods, some more JPM alcantara, and stereo mods, but I will be taking a break on mods for quite a while. I am taking a 20% pay cut for 11 weeks currently.

And they are talking about extending furloughs into next year if the budget cuts go through this fall...

On a lighter note, awesome build. Glad I'm actually in the area to see it in person.

I don't want to get into lolitics on here, but there is something seriously wrong with a government that is unable to sign a budget in over 4 years and that voted for mandatory cuts because of their inability to sign a budget. They keep spending like crazy, while we take pay cuts.

You've built a beautiful machine here. One that will be copied by some, hated by others, and inspiration for the rest of us. I'm sorry to hear about your job and pay cuts. Money will come and go just keep your head up and things will get better. you'll see.

Gloooorious! That is right around where I wanna be, power-wise. I think I'll be using the GTX2863R that I already have and adapt it to the Full Blown kit.

how much are you rubbing in the rear? =\
i think 255 would have been the better option since the super sports run a bit wide
