Default Writeup on how much I spent for everything on my car.

I figure this would be a good idea to write up. I bought just about all of my parts through corral.net used; looking for good deals over time and not forcing the issue, just waiting for good deals. Here we go; this is probably gonna scare me the amount of put into it. All the prices include shipping if there was shipping.



The car (2.5 years ago): $11,000

Pro5.0 Short shifter: $180

SLP Loudmouth II catback: $350

03 Cobra wheels brand new F1 tires: $800

Extra Set of 03 cobra wheels for dr's: $180

Used, but new Nitto 275 555r's: $200

King Cobra clutc with quadrant/firewall adjust: $230

Used, but new BBK Ceramic Longtube headers: $400

Used BBK Catted H pipe: $75

Smoked Tail light covers: $65

Ford C-Springs: $165

Mach 1 Grille Delete: $75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------Below is All S/C stuff needed.

Procharger P1sc 3-core intercooler 42lb injectors (used) : $2500

SVT Focus fuel pump: $110

Pro-M Univer MAF (used): $65

SCT Xcal 2 Tuner: $400

Dyno Tune: $100

Random Parts over the course of 2 years: $200

LABOR FOR EVERYTHING: $Priceless (Cause i did everything myself without knowing anything!) [sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif]




Grand TOTAL: $6095 [sm=jawdrop.gif] + $11,000 For the car = $17,095


Holy ****, that is depressing. First time i've actually added everything up. Every penny is paid for, thanks to me working my *** of in the summers. 1.5 years of college left; nothing else is changing until i graduate get another job and a truck. Then it will become my playtoy.

45k, even though it was like 80k now [&:] I drive from pittsburgh to dayton a lot, round trip is 600 miles.


I got it at a dealer auction. So I payed 11k with taxes, came with a 2 year extended warranty that i never used once. Nice knowing the right people.

I'm scared to add up how much I've spent on my car, but I love every second of it.

They exsist everywhere, but its not open to the public so u'll have to have connections to get in. There are some public auctions though but u dont get to test drive the car or ne thing. Theres a real big auction place in Auburn Indiana, and they have a like the largest collector car auction every labor day weekend, its actually more like a car show, real nice too.
