I have been able to shave cost on a lot of stuff on my ride though because they are not brand new parts.

APR GT200 wing for example generally retails for $800-1000, but I bought mine off of Chris Rado's Time Attack tC before they redesigned it into the dual wing setup it is today. They sold it to me for $340 shipped to my house. I try and find deals whenever and wherever I can.

APR Front splitter is new so that's $230ish
Carbon Fiber Fenders and hood came way because my fiance got into a fender bender. Instead of paying some auto shop to fix it with OEM gear, I took the insurance money and bought Carbon Fiber parts (which were cheaper than OEM and painting it).

Corbeau Seats and Harness about $740 for the pair + Harness and seat brackets (would have paid $1000-1500 if not for them wanting to sponsor me.

TRD LSD along with a TRD clutch (which I'm using now since my Stage 4 Comp Clutch went out)....was about $700 for the both of them. TRD LSD retails for over $1000 but a guy was selling both online in the classifieds.

Tein SS coilovers are used, got those from a guy in the classifieds for about $650.

E-manage Ultimate I got from my friend with the boomslang Harness for $300 bucks because he upgraded to an AEM Standalone on his tC. Boomslang harness brand new are $300+ and the Ultimate brand new is $600ish.

EBC Red Stuff brake pads are about $95 a pair from Summit Racing.

Energy Suspension Motor mounts are like $50 bucks

Defi E-GT, Boost Gauge with control module and AEM Wideband ran about $800

My old turbo setup I spent about $3-4k which includes the cost of the gauges and the install (since I didn't install my first turbo setup). First turbo setup was done by the owner of ZPI, who was a friend of mine at the time.

Then I think I spent like $500 to upgrade the turbo later on when I wanted a better top end spool (upgraded to a 20G from a 16G).

Sold my old turbo setup in the classifieds for about $1800 (originally wanted $2000 for it).

My tires that I run at the track and daily drive on cost me $560 a set for my Hankooks. And then I have a set of R-comps also that are Kuhmo's and they ran about $760 for the set. They have lasted all season for me.

My new turbo setup would probably retail for est. $5500-6000 for anyone else (just for the turbo setup). For me, it's about half that. You can get a full turbo kit though from a reputable company like Dezod or turbonetics that will make 300-350whp for $3000 -/+. Or buy a tuner kit for $2500-3000.

My new setup is:

- Dual BB GT3076R w/SS Tial turbine housing (full v-banded)
- V-banded downpipe
- EL v-banded manifold w/twin CompGate wastegates
- 3 inch full v-banded exhaust
- 900cc injectors
- Return fuel system with Swirl Pot
- 50/50 AEM Methanol injection
- (eventually a Twin disc Clutch)

It will be on a stock motor for now, but eventually I will have it built and running BC cams. Not sure though if I want to run the BC stroker kit to make it into a 2.6L or just run the standard build.
