how much monies have you spent on upgrades??
 
i was just wondering how much monies you guys have spent on ur fc, just doing some research and wanting to compare the total i came up with just looking around on one website cough*cough*rx7store*cough*, and if u are still upgrading your car how much are you guys willing to spend until its enough

well im repainting my car while i have the engine out, so however much all the materials cost ~$300

eaton m-90 system $1000, with all custom manifolds and properly set up,

the rebuild itself, with ceramic apex seals ~$3000, includes porting new housings, overhaul kits and so on

the wheels enkei RPM2's i hope to get at 17x8...corksport fenders

new ECU, afm, pressure sensor, injectors, and fuel pump, price undetermined

About 20k...... :(

damn, what have u spent with 20k??? a rebuild n what not,

cuz i came up with 14k without labor, well, labor would consist of mt dew n some good old moms azn cooking, but the 14k had consisted of a turbo upgrade, street port, full exhaust, bov, wastegat, headers, all of the electrical stuff, wires, fmic, n lots of other stuff!!!!

well, if you could put in a 13bre then that adds what 1.5k n less????

just wondering so i can start saving up!!
