$5k on car. Roughly $12k on turbo and t56 conversion.
It's a hobby though like someone said above. Doesn't matter what it costs as long as you enjoy it.

12000$ for the ute (came with exhaust and lowered, so checked 2 off instantly
)450 for a second set of s2 rims 200 for msd coilpacks 140 for eagle leads 50 for short shift 140 for bosch o2 sensors stereo from old car - free and other bits and bobs thats not worth mentioning. have been VERY tempted to splurge, really wanna SC it.. but i have a commitment to buying a house with the misssus and id feel really guilty spending any more than the 120$ it costs to fill up each week at the moment Ive actually just been really happy with my purchase price and havent needed to spend much money on this rig in nearly a year.

^^$120 per week on fuel...damn! Im in a bad mood when I have to pay over $40 for my LPG.
Id pay good money to be in you car CAT600...just to witness the gbox..LOL I haven't kept much of a tally, but the car is not anything special so.. $6300 - car $3500 - LPG (minus $1500 rebate) $2000 $1500 - Rims and Tyres Package $200 - ebaichs $400 - KYB's $250 - tint $350 - cat back + tip $300 - bling Thats about it...bit under $10k. Im happy with that, I dont think there is anything out there can match the running costs, style and practicality. I still love it, even if I think about buying something else every other day.
