Thought it would be interesting in seeing what people spend on their cars...:confused::confused:
Car is standing me 20k but worth every penny.............miss my tramp Sierra tho
yea very good thread lad. ;);)
but its depressing in another way to know how much you spent..:(
would say if i had to buy everything out rite im just over the 10 but i did a lot of swaping and trading for the car and parts to build it so its only realy standin me around 7ish still makes me sick the money i wasted on other heaps of crap over the years!~ would of had some car now if i didnt do that
im in the middle of spending over 1k on my fuel system.
Budgets dont work :p
In total, i'd say theres near £5000 tied up in the 200 so far (which would include the 17x9.5 Rota GTR's i got for £280 due to the fella not having a clue what they were worth :D ), with another £3000 planned before it see's the track again.
Why oh why didnt i buy someone elses drift car with all the work already done to it... :(
thats some serious bobs chucky lad....mind me asking how much you actually gave for it in the end??or is it a closely guarded secret??:D:D cant beat an aul trusty sierra!!
because the build is half the fun.Quote:

Now though, theres a full DW handling package coming, adjustable lower front and rear arms, hydraulic handbrake to get teh best out of the Skyline calipers, full set of bushes, a full VX bodykit (and possibly overfenders, depending on the new wheels) and then some more power..
It would be cheaper to build a fcukin house.. lol
about 7000, but its my road car too!
Hmmmmmmm il tell ya wen i see ya dude!! But i could buy ALOT of clean saphs for it :eek:Quote:

The 3 cylinder stands me as it sits today 4,000, but with the engine been sorted soooon and the bits im getting done over the year its gonna be up to about 7 or 8k me thinks:D

car standing me bout 10 500, there or there abouts, but then had to buy a van and a trailer :( should hav just cleared it taxed it and drive to there events. worth every penny when your out n the track though, anyone disagree?
worth every penny,having a trailer and a tow yoke is good as least ya can drive the sack of the car and not have to worry too much if ya break it
