I just priced all the mods I want to do but brakes. Some things I had to estimate because it requires custom fabrication, but I used actual numbers for all the things that are really for sale and I included shipping costs. I came up with:

~$18,778.98

And that's without a BBK factored in! How depressing...

That's cheap! iirc when I did mine, I think mine came around $25k-ish

That's also not counting my Volk TE37s and Tein Monoflex coilovers that are already installed. I wish I could say "when I did" though, haha.

Do you have a build thread or anything similar? I'd like to see what you created on roughly the same budget.

Note: I was going to tag you to get your attention, but I see you've been tagged 86 times, so I didn't want to mess it up. A quote it is.

Can someone explain to me why a full grown adult (without children) love Disney/Disneyworld so much?
My coworker keeps blowing up my news feed about it...
Am I crazy for thinking its childish and awkward

It has its pros, but I certainly wouldn't put it on my list of "Top 500 Most Awesome Shit to do as an Adult", or the T5MAStdaaD, as I call it.

IntotheOcean · 08-03-2013, 02:17 PM

Yeah, I don't know I guess I'm missing something...

Huh, I didn't know that. Cool thanks for the 86 tag

As for build thread, as for now, it's secret/embargo. When it's allow to release, I might

With all the mods I want, I'm close to 14K...

HOLY SHIT aren't you a student? I've put...200 bucks in my car for oil and other maintenance. Need new brake pads and clutch soon, considering tire upgrade and flywheel machining or upgrade. Would like a 6 speed transmission and a new engine but that's big money.

I think they are talking 'I want' money, not 'I did' money. For 'I want' money, I think you're into the six figure range on your Spyder, thanks to your MMC rod desire. But realistically what would you do to it in the $15k range?

Realistically, I'm about $15-20k (responsive twin turbos even though my current turbo will push 400whp, clutch, standalone, maybe redo the suspension) away from having my Supra where I would be happy with it as a daily high performance driver. I could spend unlimited money on it if I had it.

It's dream building... lol... I could barely afford the JDM kick panels I recently installed...

My E39 needs an engine rebuild though... it's burning oil like a mofo... so that comes first...

I haven't priced my mods exactly. I keep meaning to/attempt to, but I don't know them all exactly. I'm sure it's over 10k though.
