~$3,650 so far. I have $1,350 left for suspension mods.

I didn't tack oil change and what not since they are maintenance/ownership cost.

 

AHAHAHAHA i know that feeling. 2000 a year for a track budget sounds very reasonable. how many track days is that?

10,000 isn't a walk in the park lol. maybe you can give me a few tips on how to hide 10g from my wife seriously.

 

More than I wanna know. Lol

YOLO

 

Around 10000k in me tme & over 100000 on the previous

 

I would say it's about 4-6 weekends depending on the track and the organization. I replace tires almost once a year, so that has to come out of the money. Pads and fluid isn't that bad so most of the money is seat time and tires.



How to hide money from your wife? Well, I can't really tell you how to do that, but that money wasn't spent all at once. That was over three to four years worth of spending.

 

I spent more then that but but no wife here.
30 for car and 30 in parts and installed everything myself which saved a lot considering I upgrade all the time.

 

I think I have spent enough, I don't have time to look up or try to remember the price so I will just list all my CURRENT and PAST/RETIRED mods, that should give some idea how much I've spent lol

My recent evo came with a lot done to it.. but ive spent some getting it running how i want it to. New clutch is next in a week or 2 soo thats another 1k. Around 4k total since end of september.

 

Holy fack! I hope I don't end up like you lol. You could've easily had a GTR by now

 

Clutch, bushings, misc lines, oil cooler, fluids, tires, and some gauges and other bushings that I haven't installed yet. I'm sure I'm missing some specifics, but routine maintenance and fixing the previous owners **** ups have made up most of my wrenching and shop visits.

 

I received some things for Xmas for the car but I'll include those I suppose just to say how much is into the car so far:

Car - $20,xxx
Full exhaust - (received as Xmas present) $500
Takatas (bought before I even had the car) - $125
Radiator hoses - (received as Xmas present) I'm assuming roughly $50+
Wheels - $2500

And I believe that's it. Not to much since it's only been a couple months I've owned the car. MUCH more to come though, I'm saving for the next purchase as we speak

 

2003 Evo VIII 72,000 miles purchased for $18,000
Stage 1 2.0 16g, S2 Cams, 1000cc FIC injectors, e85 DB performance built & tune $6,500
Stage 3 2.3 stroker FP black, S2 Cams,1450cc FIC injectors, Manley internals, shooting for 600hp currently being built by DB performance $16,000

 

Yea, I could've I was just thinking about the GT-R or the new M3 coming out.

 

i just realized i'm poor as ****.
