Financial tally on our cars!
Jeff,
I get $4391 if you figure $100 for the clutch kit. <ouch>
Get bumpers for 300, shocks for 350 and then the bushings/boots for, say, no
more than 250.
Add what you paid for the car.
Comes to quite a bit, but other than sway bars/stress bars, you're done.
<LOL!!>
OTOH, Try finding a new car with that performance, it'll be at least in the
$25k range. And definitely not German.
Be proud, you've taken the least expensive route to getting the performance
car you want.
That makes it $4391.02
