£10 /day petrol (call it £3k a year as I don't drive it every single day)

£150 ish road fund

£900 insurance

£1000 servicing

£2000 additions (based on £1000 I have spent in the last 6months)

 

thats about it I think so around 7k, less than 10% earnings.

Nothing. But I've only had it since Saturday. ;)

 

I am a little concerned though. It's booked into Phoenix since it makes sense to get a service straight away so I know I'm starting from a known point.

 

But I've also noticed that the stock wheels are not in the same condition as the rest of the car, and new ones might look nice.... and a couple of the heater control lights don't work so maybe I should change the whole dash to LED.... and the headlights are a bit misty so could do with being refurbed, and.......

 

I think I may soon be on a slippery slope - even though this is supposed to be my economical daily driver........

I have absolutely no idea and really don't want to know, otherwise I'd get rid and drive some kind of Ecowarrior pram size car :D

 

As long as there's food on the table and blood pumping through my veins that's all the justification I need for owning it ;)

£1500 - Exterior mods (more too come in February 2007)

£1000 - Interior mods

£7000 - Engine build and mods (in February 2007)

 

Insurance?

Road tax?

MOT?

 

That doesnt include the price of the car, and I havent driven it yet, so no fuel costs either... so it should be interesting when everything is built.

Eek 7k for engine + mods :)

 

Hell yes!!! :eyebrows:

 

Engine build (cracked piston)

Fuel system

FMIC

AEM ECU (with loads of little bits around this) :blink:

Brake setup

Clutch

Flywheel

CAMs and pulleys

 

And thats about the list...

 

Lots of future proofing... Could not quite afford to go to single turbo just yet... also wanted to see what the car would be like with the standard twins on this sort of setup!
