That's it?


:cry:
I was thinking the same I stopped counting at twice that :lol:
I have a file at home of all my receipts. That thing is getting full. :eek:
I keep them in a drawer one day I will get out the caulactor when I have a day to kill and add them up when I want to :whine:

I am sure that most can see how quick you can spend that much in just a Turbo or sckit when you are all done with the little extras :wink:

of course i didnt spend all the money at the same time. I got my car in February and this is what i have spent to date.

ltunedgirl: I have included the cost of everything i have spent on this car.

I have seen the money people have put out to replace broken piston or rods or whatever else u break when u add FI. To me FI is a bottomless money pit.

I actually have a list of:
all my current and planned mods,
retail price,
what I paid,
who I got them from,
when they were ordered/shipped/recv'd/installed

So far I've saved about $2000 off retail by buying only used parts... plus there is little depreciation since its already used. when I start selling stuff back I'm going to keep track of the resale prices so I can see exactly what it cost me.

- yea, I can't believe I spent that much (little less) also... didn't realize it until I actually calculated it...
- oh yea, all that was spent BEFORE the car came in... :chill:
