[Other] How much have you spent on your car to date?

[Andrew426]

Getting up there a bit:

Rolling body (VP calais IRS/FE2/LSD/"17s with new tires/6 months reg and WOF):$600
Engine w/computer, looms etc. :$400
Manual gearbox, pedal box, clutch cable etc: $600
New battery : $150

$1750

Thats pretty bad for a car thats probably only worth $1500

I would hate to think What I have spent on my Valiant, probably close to $10K now - and its not even in paint yet

Trickshift intake $2600
air intake/plumbing $950
strut brace $200

tune $900
gearbox - carry over from my previous car (cost $1500 back then)
2 x clutches $1200
wheels carry over from previous car (cost $2500 I think....)

that's some of it lol, can't remember it all - we're talking 10 years worth of ongoing upgrading & maintaining
of course without going into the consumable stuff like tyres, brake pads, oil etc......
