That doesnt include the stuff I sold off the RB (twin disc clutch, stock turbos, rb26 transmission, etc) that I probably made 2500 back on.....but I wont include that in the figures

Dont take this AT ALL as an argument to run an RB over the VG, I just thought I should take a moment and actually inform you of the cost I have in my setup, versus what it would take to put together a VG of the same caliber (I have been down both roads)
