How much have you spent on your car

[AusScare]

Bought car for $600. Spent $5,500 on it so far.

Basically I've turned the Polo into a track car:

K04 with APR tune
FMIC
Custom air intake / filter / plumbing
LSD, upgraded clutch, lighter flywheel
Custom 3" turbo back exhaust
323mm Slotted Brembos, modified wheel arches for ventilation
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
Rear sway bar / engine mount upgrade
OZ Ultraleggeras

Starting the build from scratch would save some money where I upgraded parts I'd already upgraded from stock - for instance the APR cat-back exhaust I initially installed, or the Seat intake mod replaced by the new air box.

That sounds like quite a Polo how does it go getting power down - and what sort of 0-100 does it do?

my little 15 inch wheeled girls car has cost me around $7k so far, INCLUDING replenishables like tyres and brakes (2 sets each, but tyres are cheap when you've only got to shop for 15 inch 195 section...)

looking at another couple of grand for a new clutch + install (im guessing) in the near future too... yay!

at the moment im not trying to "mod" it, per se, because i (personally) dont think that there's any point in upsetting the car's dynamic balance (which i've worked a bit to achieve, given that it's a nose heavy diesel) by adding more power, and i'm starting to think that i could spend another $10k on it and i'd only be chasing incremental gains - still wouldnt be as much of a driver's instrument as something like a clio...

so after the clutch, it's happily back to keeping it how it is, and only having to worry about maintenance

Mine would be a lot more if I had not done most of the work myself or had mates help me... That has saved me a hell of a lot in fitting labour.

APR Tune: $1400
APR Torque Arm Bush: $90
Forge strut brace: $220
Forge TIP: $180
Forge IC to TB pipe: $80
Forge DV: $160
Forge short shifter: $95
White line RSB: $160
FK AK coilovers: $420
SEAT intake: $160
SEAT wishbone bushes: $250
SEAT Cupra lip: $150
Porsche Twist reps: $920
K&N panel Filter: $90
Various cosmetic stuff: $400

All this is is less consumables such as tyres.

Less than $5k on the polo. The 911...well add a zero...and then a bit more
