Sounds like some nice plans you got going there man. I agree its easy to spend $1000 on these cars.
$1000 sure goes quick in this hobby!
- Thread starter davbrucas
- Start date
I just got laid off. Now I get to sit around all day and think of all the things I want to do to the car. I need to find a nice inexpensive time consuming project for the car.
I hear ya man, $1K goes pretty quick when you decide to start modding, but the results you get make it worth it.
I'm in SA too and I have one of Doug's pulley pullers if you want to borrow it or need some help. I also have the 2.76 with 4 idlers in silver/bling if you want to see what they look like on the car.
Another member here and I pulled both my blower and his to send to Steg. so if you need any help with that, just let me know. :beer:

That ought to keep you occupied for a while. Or if you are like me, you get a little too involved with projects and buy a 12 pack and work on it for 15 hours straight :beer:
i was thinking more along the lines of some irs bushings or something
Wrong terminology!
Owning one of these cars does not turn into a hobby....it soon becomes an ADDICTION, like Gambling and Cocaine. Very very difficult to kick the hold it has on you. I've been trying for nearly three years now with little or no success. It's just plain awful, but I love every minute of it!!!

$1000 is squat considering this sickness most of us have. I spent over $21,000 in 18 months on my Corvette, that is why I bought a Cobra, I can spend 1/4 that and get twice as much power. It does go fast!! As soon as the Corvette sells, the cash is going into the Cobra...looking for at least 600 RWHP. Got a great deal on the Cobra though! 2004 w/9000 miles for $25,800.

$1000.00???? I wish I could keep it to just that much. I dropped almost $5000.00 in the last 2 months. :beer:
C'mon guys. $1,000 here, $5,000 there... Get serious and spend $20K on getting one converted to RHD!! 
And now I have to convince myself to spend another $8K on mods - freight and taxes to Oz are KILLING ME :cuss:
I look at it this way, just spend the money then work like mad to pay back the bills. The first time someone says - "Hey Buddy - Nice (insert modded part here)" it's all worth it.epper:

Yeah, I'm well over 10K.. I don't even count any more, but I know it's more than 10K

I know that feeling...I kept count til I bought the new blower...now it's just a headache trying to figure out why I would spend $30k on a car, then drop another $15k in additions??? :shrug:
