This was my first project completed for the rx7. It's the rotary works vmount kit which was absolute shit :icon_tdown: (my review and build thread), and then I paid DentSport in MA to make it actually fit and be proper :icon_tup:. Keep in mind that if I were to do this again, I would of just had DentSport purchase generic cores and fabricate it from scratch, and the cost would have been less.
RotaryWorks vmount kit: $1100 Recommended optional rotary works oil cooler that I didn't use: $200 Evo MR diverted valve (bov): $172 DentSport labor to modify the kit to fit, and make proper: $1600 Total: $3072 Items still needed to complete the kit: Spal fan, custom oil cooler lines Day 1 http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/a...C/4a10d0b3.jpg After v-mount http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/a...C/0074deb7.jpg I'm currently working on complementary parts for my powerfc/hybrid turbo and a rebuild will happen this winter. Girls t2 rebuild has been making my build go rather slow. Doing things the right way isn't cheap, but in the end it feels good. :nod: |
$3402+ and counting, and that is over 13 months, including the cost of the car. Which was $1800. That is not including all the oil, paint, small things, missing receipts, etc. Which was $1800. Project is a DD/Auto-X car.

so far I have 2000 into my build for a nice street car.
Thats only on the engine. nothing suspension wise or tires/wheels. Parts list: Blown s4 t2-$140 (ended up ONLY using the irons so a waste of money.) Reman s4 housings- $40 (GOT A DEAL ON THESE) koyo radiator and e-fan- $200 Rtek 2.0- $400 S4 manual steering rack-$120 s4 n318 pressure sensor- $35 boost and water temp gauges- $80 Rebuilt s4 turbo with 200 miles- $150 Battery relocation items-$90 Atkins Soft seal kit-$175 Atkins 2 piece 2mm Apex seals- $250 Walbro 255-$60 v-Mount intercooler-$70 All of this since this last may 2011. I didnt pay anything for the car since i traded a datsun for it. I had $2500+ into the datsun though. I am sure that I have left stuff out, and havent factored in the price of any extra stuff like paint and prep stuff for the engine bay, or tools i needed to buy (like the damn $32 socket for the flywheel nut). I also have quite a few parts to buy before the engine is even runable (afm, downpipe, exhaust, BOV, silicon hoses, alternator) I keep a list of all costs on my computer but i try not to look at it. lol Making this list just made me kinda depressed. haha |
Bought for $2k in 2007
Left is stock until last year $13,000 since then :P Before: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...3/IMG_2488.jpg After: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2..._6884843_n.jpg |

but who cares, as long as you have fun :) |
i dont keep track, if I did I might come to my senses
|
$250-s5 chassis with turbo 2 rear end
$1000-on a jdm s5 t2 $1400- lowe performance rebuild and porting $160- v mount intercooler $250- blown s5 t2 motor with trans and rear end i think about 6 grand more and it will be running and driving but far from finished |
If I didn't spend it all on my car(s), I would have squandered it ;)
|
FC's x2.
For what I've spent on my FC's, I could have had a nice FD and a nice daily. Oh well. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Who cares, its just money, and cars are the only thing I enjoy spending money on. Everywhere else I'm a cheap ass lol. |
well it's not like the money would be spent on anything useful anyway.
|
around 14k since August this year.
|
Good lord guys, I've got about 1600 total into my t2.
|
Between 2 FCs, probably about $4-5k. The good one doesn't run yet, the other runs but is a rusty beater.
|
in the 14g club now......
