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.

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.

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.

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)]
