I just thought of this and thank goodness my wife doesn't come on the forums.
Since buying the XR8 new in 2002 and now the T3 I have gone through 10 sets of rims : some I bought at great deals and some more than I wanted to pay but lets work on an average of $2k :nutsycuck : Then add exhausts,Unichip,Edit,brake upgrades,lowering,sports struts/shocks. Interior/exterior mods christ I don't want to go on : LOL.....

well come to think of it $3000 would be good compared to the things ive done but then agian i havent got someone else to do the work either.
trying to weigh up if its worth spending another $7000 on some forced induction "turbo-supercharger" like the concept of the twin screw sprintex set-ups. |

I was just having a think about this and I realised how much I've spent. Nearly gave me a heart attack. On just performance mods I have spent 14k, add to that another 1-2k on maintainance and wear and tear items and I've spent as much as I spent on the car in the first place. :

bought the car 12months ago, well over priced at $12k and have spent that again on it in the year I've owned it. Saidly I'd be lucky to get $8k for it if I sold it today

No idea. Bought the car, did a body kit, rims, stripes and an exhaust. So maybe a couple of grand.
