If your farts are anything like Silvabullit's then you'll need a whole fire evacuation plan, sprinkler system and arson insurance....

[69.NIX]

I haven't spent enough, DUH :P

things I require for the grandpa spec racer

Turbo or Twin Turbo (depending on my mood at the time)

New gearbox (prefer 6 speed)

New paint work (black with blue pearl)

New suspension setup (lower, harder, faster, meaner, phatter :P)

New 17" or 18" S/C rims with good rubber

Dash conversion (new colour scheme, maybe cascade blue or ink black like)

no idea on how much its gonna cost, but I'm working on it :P

so far

stereo $2800*

*RRP - Like I pay that :P

[BigBum]

I never ended up counting all this up.

Just passed the $5000 mark worth of non-standard stuff (as per my garage)

I'd say easily over 12k if you wanted a decent reliable turbo setup on the quad cam pete. The quad cams are a favorite of modders in japan (I have seen many turbo charge them, similar to the gold turbo vienta here in Canberra) so perhaps Japan will be a port of call for you.

If you do a turbo conversion on the cheap side you will suffer engine failure one way or another I think :(

Good luck mate!

Not as much as you guys :lol:

Economics theorises that time is the ultimate cost (because of the alternatives that you had to forgo to spend time on one particular thing). So how about a "How much time have you spent on your car?" thread...

Projected winners:

1. Tom

2. Micky

3. All the other DIY maddogs!
