Car had intake and JWT ECU / Kinesis supercups wheels when purchased. Does not include gas, oil changes, and insurance. This is approximate, I am sure I have forgotten a couple of smaller things- Clutches (one defective and had to purchase two) 1300.00 Fuel injectors (two) Dealership 450.00 Injectors Myself (two) 180.00 Brakes 300.00 Tires/optima battery 1000.00 Radiator /Koyo 150.00 Radiator air guide 50.00 Coolant temp sensor 20.00 Slave cylinder 20.00 Stillen Exhaust 700.00 Starter 175.00 Test pipes down pipes 550.00 Hard Pipes 300.00 Polished Plenum 150.00 EVC /Greddy Profec B 220.00 Nismo 555 injectors 850.00 Turbo timer 30.00 ES Anti Sways 220.00 GMS 550 Turbos 1200.00 60K kit 500.00 Redline Fluids/water wetter 40.00 Spark Plugs 65.00 Seat Skins 800.00 Carpet /seat repair 200.00 Shift Knob 50.00 Black trim Pieces for interior 110.00 Wheel Repair 250.00 300 degree stuff Brake brace/ EGR elim. 85.00 GD subframe spacers 55.00 Misc hoses/paint/tools/PCV's 300.00 Total 13000.00 car 10320.00 parts 23320.00 Money saved on own labor guess (with help from Tim- Woody75) $3500.00 I do not regret it, and I still love driving it. I tell my brother it is like having the option to go drive a really fast go cart whenever I want. It is running better and and stronger than ever. It is even a little on the scary side to drive on high boost sometimes.
