That makes me feel better Although you also win the "Who has the most powerful AU" award by a long way too, something that doesn't necessarily make me feel a whole lot better. Especially since you have 300rwkw on me :

I haven't spent much at all, and dont intend to. Most costly thing so far is the rims at $1400, but I do have a SVI gas install coming which will be in the $4000 range.

Cat600 that's 4 x more than my income per year, and a good indication of just how much you really love your car. Most people would be happy with it how it was before, but hey what's a bit more for what you've now got. Love it and hope to see where it goes from here.

Unreal Daniel, i had a funny feeling it would top the 100k mark. That skyline would never bring the smile that the mighty T Series you have ever does. In awe of this car mate its a credit to you and your know how.

Just had the insurance company spend $7,800 rebuilding the front end and engine on my AUI Fairmont (should have been a write off).
This is just what I can think of off mind that I have had done. Not accurate and there are other things like previous engine mods but don't have that engine anymore. Spend around $1,200 on my old engine. Now this one is stock. Tint - $200 Exhaust - $325 Suspension/Lowering - $250 New Trans - $2,200 Lights - $145 Chrome add-ons - $150 White walls - $90 Thats all I can think of for now lol :(
