hmmm...
~$1400 tein flex
~$300 front and rear sways
~$700 3 sets of race pads
~$600 front and rear slotted rotors
~$200 stainless steel lines
~$800 NT01 track tires
~$250 harness bars and 5 pt belts
~$450 used Rota rims
So that's about $4700. And not including hundreds of dollars of 100 octane. All that knocked 6 seconds off my time @ Laguna. I'd say not bad for ~$780 per second.

Hrm let's see... I would have to look it up to really see but off the top of my head..
Purchased somewhere around 9/06:
1991 Justy GL 4x4 w/ 49k miles: $2000 (was asking $4500!!!)
New struts - $250
New front axles - $380
2nd set of new front axles - $free
3rd set of new front axles - $free
4th set of new front axles - $pending
4x 155/65-13 RE92's - $300 something installed
Sony Xturd CD/MP3 deck w/aux for my wife's MD player: $150
Infinity fr/rear Kappa speakers: $80
Whole pile of maintenance stuff (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, etc): $150
Tons of plastic clips and parts from Subaruparts.com: Up to about $750 there
Lots more maintenance stuff, about 7 qts of Redline, hoses, etc: $100
Rebuild of transmission, timing belt, clutch/flywheel: $3050.80!!
I have a folder full of receipts and stuff so that's probably not really correct - cept the tranny bill is right in front of me so I know it's right.
Up to probably around $7500 including the car. This is incidentally about the same I have spent on my R32. Getting ready to start modding the MR-2 Spyder soon (bracing, suspension, protection) so that will be another one to keep track of..

I don't even want to think about it.
4000 on coilovers alone (Ohlins divorced reservoir and I got a deal)
1000 on sway bars and strut tower bars
3500 on exhaust (APS 3.5, headers and up-pipe)
1000 on engine management (AP with tune)
On top of that is all the maintenance and tires which is well over 2000 (all Motul fluids and ADVAN Neovas)
Today I took my car to the dent doctor to get some dings taken out and next week its getting detailed with an orbital buffer (full polish and wax).
Should be looking good. Damn, I'm pathetic, think of all the other stuff I could have.

Seriously, right? I noticed I'm usually not that big of a spender but I notice I'll completely disregard car related expenses. I remember writing a $2k check for my new turbo setup and was thinking "wait a minute... I don't have a huge plasma tv. A Huge plasma tv is like what 2k?"
