When i first got it: 3k. Then over the next 1.5 years: 6k. This round: $21k. I'm so done after this. Not opposed to upgrading hear and there but as for spending thousands at a time........its a wrap.

Its so easy to get stupid power and good looks out this car.....it easily snowballs (well I'm already there I might as well).

If i didn't blow the motor I most likely would never built the motor and kept my HKS turbo but always would wonder what else.
