lol, are these the mats that give your heel better grip for increased braking force and acceleration?

even though i install everything myself and am the only one to ever work on my car (saving thousands) i've spent a good 6-8K and my car still isnt where i'd like it to be. I'll easily spend another 4k on it by the end of this year... ****, my car would be paid off after that!

coupe wheels/tires = 1400
zshocks with coupe s-techs= 150
hotchkis sways (Brand fukin new) = 140
kinetix plenum = 200 (used)
true dual catback exhaust = 450
diff, clutch, tranny, brake fuild changes + sparkplugs = 250

Ripping my car a new ******* every weekend without it braking down = PRICELESS.

You know it! Driver reaction time is often overlooked...

alright here it goes...

800 tint & clear shield
7200 stereo
3300 wheels
250 intake
250 spacer
1000 Unichip + tune
750 headers
950 cat-back
275 test pipes
275 hi-flo cats
475 front strut tower brace
100 lower front tie bar
170 used springs plus install
50 floor mats
250 front lip
250 sways
25 brake cyl. cover
25 clear corners
100 master cylinder stiffener (still not installted)
125 engine dampener (still not installted)

This totals over $15k and am I done??? hell no, wanna drop another $1,500 on coilovers and who knows how much on bbk. Then I'll need to buy a beater so I can do a build up of the motor. The build up is going to hurt dropping that much cash at one time.

I got lucky with my timing. There was a guy at 350z that won the sways in a event but he already had one on his car so he put the new ones on sale and i was the first one to offer him. U did not over pay for the sways it's just i got verrrry lucky with those.

I think we're close on our spending budgets so far Mike. I am with you....looking for a beater pretty soon to build out the motor.....TT like Timmah! I can't believe I'm actually considering it........105K and not even hesitating to stop

I've only spent about $2600, not much really. I'm pretty happy with the way my car is and I've been saving up for my Datsun Z build anyways...

Like we have a choice in stopping?! I think I just want a stroker kit. I bought the car to go FI but there's just too much hassle with LE & young pups that want to puff up their chest when they see an intercooler or hear FI.

These lists are crazy. We do not own our cars, our cars own us!
