10,400-car
800-brakes
650-output shaft upgrade
500-oem clutch
22-2 sets of plugs
65-air filter
40- mbc
150-boost gauge/turbo timer
70-plug wires
total $ 12697 plus oil, gas, and insurance.
Beating a car that has 75k into it, priceless :)
Its like the saying goes, "how fast do you want to go today? How much do you have to spend?"
The goal is 10's with less than 20k into car, pump gas.
That's pretty impressive when you consider my 75K car only runs 14.4 in the 1/4 mile hahahahah.

Plan on a re-match this summer once the cars are tuned

0-140 down france is just nuts. That race would have gone on for ever. It was dead even. But with the Cars coming up you know I had to let off.

I'm taking a rough estimate of around 20k.

Exageration vs. Reality

Glad I could help. ;)
I wasn't exagerating when I said I've spent over 70K in this hobby.

anyone that knows what the first 2 years of my dsm carrier were like knows I'm not kidding. hehe

But I was racing every single night back then and getting as much video as I could while doing it.

Those were the days back then. NO FNF, DSMr's were the Best group of people, Most parking lots on Uni were open/free of hastle, Red Rock was awsome no dumb @$$'s, And the cops actually stopped so that they could look at our cars vs. to give us tickets, Frizbee, football.

Hell I even once flew my R/C helicopter inverted down University Ave. Back when Speedwerks was still opened.

IF you want to go back even farther Hell MIAC, Xrated, Volksport were the only import clubs in MN.

hince why I have $800 into brakes, its a good 'just in case mod'.
A few years ago the scene was quite different, everything was more layed back, and competition wasn't as fierce. Oh well, we'll run again this year.
Lets do it at the track, that way you have a fighting chance :).
