$100 so far on tranny fluid & rear brake pads.

After I install my bilsteins + swifts I'll need an alignment ($100?). I also still need to install a Greddy Ti + downpipe I've had in my closet for 3+ years. I'll need a tune after that, but I don't know what else I should buy to maximize my power. I'm thinking a fuel pump + mbc, and I should be fine.

Haha, just wait until you need new tires, perfect time to convince her!

or so you'd think .... happy modding though - as long as it satisfies that itch, keep going ... the economy needs it if not you

I had 12k in overall spending last year just for the Evo, which included track days, tyres & brake pads & titanium heat shields apart from built TC, built Trans, rebuilt ACD pump & motor, new free-flow Cat-Con. That would've all been fine except that the daily-driver Prelude also broke (conrod bearing spun on off-ramp) and I needed a JDM Type-S engine swap. Total bill was eye watering even if reasonable for both alone.

Cure needed for spending urge though - looking for Ohlin DFV's this year and car will reach 60k miles by end 2013 so timing belts, etc would need changing

16k and more every day. Full motor build, wheels, cf parts and suspension. I don't like to think of the grand total just ever part individually so it seems like less money lol
