I'm sure I'm $25K invested including the cost of the car.

First set of wheels and tires ~ 1k
2nd set of wheels and tires~ good deal at 300 bucks
Flares~ free
Lip~ 200 or so
Seats ~ 400 used
HDHCDD~ 300 bucks and a bunch of wrinkle spaypaint
Misc J D M crapola to make it pretty ~ about 1500 bucks

As for the Turbo build..... the whole thing pieced together, and welded up ran me about 3 grand, including re-making intercooler piping and the 2 exhaust designs I've used.

Then I bought a HYDRA, so add another $2k to the tally

Don't even get me started on the crap I've bought and then given away to the locals or thrown out when i was tired of it (carbon hood etc...)

Add that to a $13k NB, and factor in tuning costs and **** I forgot.... and my bank account is VERY unhappy!

I like the way you think! Good point, I've used the above items more on other things than the miata... So thats defiantly justified.

 

yeah, the $$$ add up when you're building a garage simultaneously.
