How much have you spent?

Post by **karter74** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 5:23 am

Ok guys, just wanted to see how much you guys have spent on maintanence(sp?) and the customization of your cars. This will tell who's really addicted to their cars. If you can include price of the car and the individual parts you bought. (nothing petty like washers, screws, etc.)

Post by **karter74** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 5:23 am

i know the rb20 is a 6 cyl, but is a direct bolt on like the sr20det? cause for under 2k and having 6 cyl sounds worth it over the sr20det. is there any major andvantages to having one over the other?
