Clio sport 182 cup
Re: how much have u sunk into ure clio
I,ve spent about the same as them, that's not including buying the car for £10000, it's been turbo'd to about 360 BHP, i think the only things that are not mod'd on mine are the panels and chassis LOL!
Re: how much have u sunk into ure clio
My flamer probably came to 6k, buying 2nd hand parts and a dirt cheap car to start kept it reasonably cheap i guess. I doubt i lost over 1.5k when i broke it.
The monaco was 3.3k and ive probably only spent £200 on that so far on little bits and mot. This car is a bargain though considering its not far off the spec on the ph1 already but already quicker.
I always try to get stuff 2nd hand when possible, i also always try to sell anything thats taken off/not needed.

This thread should be locked... It breaks all the rules of car modding lol
Rule No1, never add the costs....

More than the value of the car just having the engine and gearbox rebuilt... + waterpump, belts, looms, exhaust, locks, ECUs, driveshafts, coilovers, hub, discs, pads, 4 PE2s, ABS sensor, wheel bearings, filters and fluids
Don't dare add it up.

I like how the thread title's been converted into English.
Spent £3.5k two years ago buying it
Not long had replacement engine, belts changed, RS2 manifold fitted and mapped, new clutch.
Then there are consumables such as 2 sets of front and rear discs and pads, and tyres.
Now the replacement engine looks to have dropped a valve and made a mess.

I think by time mine is running again it is going to owe me that sort of money :dead:
Honest answer is I don't know yet :S Only got the car recovered to MWM yesterday and I think the earliest Mike is going to get a proper look over it will be Friday.
I'm sure its not going to be a cheap day out, This engine that went was only fitted before CSS13

172 cup RS2 - 330ci
Epic spend! I thought I was high. Lol
RB182cup&golf gti
Paid 13k ish for my 182 cup new in dec 2004. Other than FSH I have changed the back box c£400 and that's it I think. V low miles and not into modding cars, although exhaust is not standard.

More than the car cost
I paid 3.5k for the car, but that does not inc tax and insurance :/
It is a dedicated track car so suppose it does not count really.... Or does it? Bet there more ppl on here who have spent more than that.
172 cup RS2 - 330ci
If I count the cost of the car then is be 10k!! Tidy M3 money. But it's a hobby working on the car. I see someone on an earlier post has spent over 30k. A tidy deposit for a house
