Whats The Damage So Far? & Where Does It End?

[qikstagea]

Car - Landed, complied and registered - $16500

Wheels - $1650 (hmm exactly 10% of car...)

Stereo - $1200

Bodykit - front bar $900 supplied, painted & fitted.

Rear bar & side skirts - $fiance got them as b-day prez from chris, awesome.

Tint front windows and tailgate - $80

Pod filter, and adapter, which i havent even used - $120.

R34 N1 style vents for front bar - $50.

Clear front bar lights, and nismo side repeaters - $120

SO FAR - $20,620. Not as bad as i thought.

Left to do -

Body parts - Eyelids (maybe) and S2 style front grille. its S1 size, but has the holes for teh lights. $500 for both.

Paint job - $2500

TWO TONE. Never seen a two-tone stag, old school. Bayside blue or silver 20mm pinstripe along bodyline, white with VERY light gold/silver pearl beneath it. Whole rear bar and front bar will be the white colour, bonnet, roof and bodyline UP will be Ice green, standard.

Lowered suspension - $3500. Air Bags, 2-way adjustable, front and rear. Was going to go SKs kit, still might, but we'll see.

New wheels - 19/20 inch. Somthing similar to what i have now, but bigger. Maybe a white centre. With airbags, can go a lil crazy. $2500... less trade i hope.

Exhaust - cat back. $700 or so i guess.

LEFT TO DO - $9700

SO... just over $30K for a stagea, one-off bodykit, airbagged with custom two-tone paint, riding on 20s...

Whats in everyone elses pipelines??

[AMS]

Umm ok well mine... oh wait. I sold it

[EGA41T]

i want 20's and bilstein shocks.

i dont want to add up what ive spent, its depressing

[qikstagea]

yeah i knew itd be a sore topic for some, but im pretty happy with mine.

havent struck any dramas or snags along the way, yet.

[CruiseLiner]

hahah this is a rather long list and i know it will be depressing, i added up my aftermarket parts and its all prices of the parts today of which i paid alot more for at the times i got them. it was a quick adding up but around 60k + labour, thats not the car or engine conversion, not the rb26 engine itself, not the gearbox or diff.

just engine mods, susp, brakes, ecu, fuel system, clutch pretty much

i know i wont ever see that money again so i doubt ill be selling the engine setup anytime soon, its gonna be following me for a while into a few other cars before even think of selling it.

the only thing left to do is use it

[IMPORTD]

wow Cruiseliner, you wouldn't want to sell it

I bought my baby for $16000 Then the guy gave me $400 for dodgy tyres.

It has some fruit..*SAFCII *3" exhaust *18" Ozzys' *EBC *Alpine Media Centre *Two Amps *Two Huge Subs

Then I spent:

$200 CAI

$1600 18" wheels

$2500 or so on tyres thus far

$600 front dump + hi-flo cat

$180 platinum spark plugs

$500 Autech spoiler

$600 repair/respray side skirts

$650 tow bar

$1000 FMIC

$1200 TEIN coilovers

$800 whiteline sway bars

$700 Adjustable camber arms

$2000 stereo replacement

In the garage:

$1400 Hi-flo turbo

$900 PowerFC

$900 manual console

$1000 R33 GTR gearbox

$600 misc manual conversion parts (pedals, flywheel, cylinders etc.)

so i've spent a fair bit, most of that doesn't include labour either, as some i did myself others i got professionals in.

[AlexCim]

[Tangles]

lol, never a sore point (talking money and cars):

mine will be a S1 with under 90000kms and worth around 29k once all tuned and finished, not much more to go for me - almost there, Im at the low end of 28k's atm, paid for everything so Im going to save some $ and fit my goodies myself and pay for a retune of the piggyback ecu's.

pretty much 18k for car and 11k for a long list of goodies:

Dayz special edition Stagea RS V Four, 87000kms, automatic, RB25DET engine, Attessa 4wd

Clarion stereo tape unit with 6-stack cd player

Aerospeed adjustable exhaust cam gear wheel

Davies Craig automatic transmission oil cooler upgrade kit

Whiteline front castor kit

Maltech front and rear stainless steel braided brake lines

Im forgetting something I feel.....................

then spend $$ on a 4wheel alignment, total flush of brake fluid and gearbox oil, and final retune.

[qikstagea]

Car series 2 auto $13k excluding tyres and rego

that alone depresses me. i spent 3.5k more for the same thing... but older....

Im hoping to be the first aussie stagea two tone. If not, first aussie stagea with bags. If not, well... ill think of something.

[66yostagea]

My 96 S1 cost $14517.25 on road insured. By the time I finish it will be up to around 20.

[IMPORTD]

bags?

[EGA41T]

bags?

air bag suspension

[FLYSLY]

So far spent $2792 on it in the 3 months of owning it, thats not including rego, insurance etc...

[AlexCim]

yeh, i used to spend 80% of my monthly pay cheque on mine....now its off the road I have all this extra cash from somewhere.

[GoldZilla]

So far, apart from the purchase of the car, insurance and rego, oil and filter, and petrol I've barely spent a cent. Lucky for me, when my turbo blew last year, my cousin had a spare s1 R33 engine sitting in his garage, so he gave me that turbo to use.

$239 - speakers for the front door

$85 - new battery

What I'd like to do in the future:

* amp, rear speakers, sub and new head unit.

* SK suspension kit

* new wheels

* GCG hi-flow, dump pipe and (if necessary) new hi-flow cat

* FMIC

* PowerFC

* extra gauges

There's probably other stuff too, but I can't remember... Either way, it's staying a street sleeper!

[mcnamg]
