Probably around $12,000 for me, with the mods listed in my signature, that includes the multiple tuning trips.

I hate these threads, they remind me of how much I have dropped in this car

Ive got over 30 grand at this point. Thats what happens when you do things half assed and change your mind later. Its costs you. My advise to all is to set a reasonable target, get it done, and call it a day...

Looking at the amount of money I have spent, I could have sent my car to AMS and got it back running 9's lol... But as I always say, its a part of the game...

Cheers...
