omg I just forgot I even posted in this thread, but now that I look back I was too hopeful lol.

over 6 months later and I still haven't gotten my 7 running right, plus I dropped another $1500 or so into her with a BNR stage 4, s5 alternator, new half of a wiring harness, probly a lot of other random things as well.

I said 3k and running soon 6 months ago, now its more like 5k and running soon

I've had the TII fc a little over a month and have spent close to 1200 on it. By the end of the year? Between 7-10k. It's my track car and motorsports and cars are the only reason I care about how much money I have, pretty much the only reason I work, so basically money is no expense. I just spend money on it until the bank statement says I have around 100 dollars. lol it's sad I know.

SpooledupRacing

Just for my turbo swap I currently have

1100.00 in parts
500.00 (for engine and trans not yet paid, cant get ahold of the guy that sold it to me)

I still have much more to go.. I did not count all the chemicals, tools, gloves, etc to do the job just the automotive PARTS

More then I thought honestly

Now this is where it all begins boys. Hike up the price on our rx7s, especially down there in the states. I still can't believe you guys sell clean t2's for 2k-4k. Clean t2's are worth 6k here. Non turbos around 4k ... I say t2's are worth 8k and non turbos 7k all in mint condition.

Havoc

hmm my post died.

Umm Id be saying upwards or 30K more like about 35K if I added everything

TheDarkRacer

rebuild kit= 600
