Entering the 30k club

...for people who have spent MOAR than $30,000 USD on their SVX, including purchase (but not things like fuel, oil changes).

The next thing I buy for this 5mt swap is going to bump me right in.

Top 6 items:

Rear collision repair: 5070
That recent engine work: 4123
Tranny rebuild 3 years ago: 2500
5 spd swap so far: 1700 (update: 1941)
My pimp gold wheels: 1648
Front windsheild: 1050

Purchase: 8000

x__x

--
I just remembered I had to buy a new lower engine shroud last year and it's not in my records. Anyone know how much those are?




No, I don't believe I've wasted (much of) my money.

Oh that's right I bought a headlight too, once. *goes to correct records...*

Or maybe it was a fog lamp...?

There is a joke my friend made (one of many jokes) about my car getting younger and younger. It's true, I think.

I just bought a stage 1 clutch kit and steel clutch line. Sitting right at $29,981 (minus shroud) for the grand total. Still need a clutch release fork.
Anyone got?

I'd imagine most people over the $30k mark are original owners

D'oh! I intend to just stop by Conti Subaru and pick one up or have them order one. Just if anyone really needs to get rid of one can ship it to me.

Hrrmm...Maybe Chike can chime in here. I have no idea but there were certainly some decent mods done.

Eh? I need a release fork. 30-40 dolla part depending.

Oh, one more thing, he says it's an 02 tranny, not an 04... and 1stsubaruparts says 02 gets it's own special fork.

I'm a low budget kinda guy. Getting $30k into a car would be the end of my marriage Especially considering I'm only $50k into my house!

Car:$800
Missing a day's work to pick it up. $100
Rear brakes/one rotor: $45
Right front control arm:$40
Accessories: $50
Antenna (non power) :$10

Total so far: $1035

Getting asked WTF IS that thing.....priceless

If I were to continue at my present spending rate I will hit the 30k make in less than 2 yrs. I do hope to not hit that mark any time, ever, w/ this car.
3.5 purchase
1 suspension
.8 exhaust
1 audio
.8 socks and shoes
3.5 drivetrain
1.1 motor stuff
.5 other
total: 12.2K in 10 months
[I am sure I forgot some things, and due to having done everything myself I would have spent a lot more. Had the audio install appraised at 2.9K which I only spent 1k doing it myself (don't tell the insurance)]
