oh, no... why did this thread come up again I'm several thousand more than the last time I visited this topic (which was many thousand at that time)

I've been putting off adding everything to my maintenance and upgrade log (where I tally my cost)... I need to stop being lazy and get that done (but I really don't want to know how much I've spent).

I think this post should've just been locked after Timmah posted up his mods list with prices. That makes me want to cry. lol. I'm sure your *** hurts every time you sit down from the lack of padding in your wallet hahaha.

BUT, for what the car is, the money was measely.

Let's see I've spent....$100 for them to hold the car until this guy writes me a check for mine...jeezus spending money and I don't even have the car yet lol.

So I just drank the Kool-Aid...

I've been saving for a while to do a round of mods for my G35 twlight blue 6spd sedan - and now the money has been spent:
  • Volk GTS wheels
  • StopTech brake kit
  • SPC front/rear camber kit
  • TEIN CS coil-overs
  • Tein EDFC
  • 245/40ZR19 Kumhos (non-staggered so I can rotate)
  • Stillen sway bars
  • Motordyne 5/16" Spacer
  • MREV-2 manifold
  • Stillen Gen-2 exhaust

...so 10K later...the hard part comes - waiting for the parts to come in and checking out shops to do the work...
