There's no way. You buy all that shit used, or you need to borrow my calculator?
I got my springs and spacers from a buddy who owes me for a couple jobs, all brand new H&R shit, technically also the MHD setup up too, so the license and dongle, the only thing i paid for was the custom map.. thicwhips badges were free from another guy who i did some (actually a lot now that i think about it..) work for on his Supra... annnnnd yeah...

in all, i only paid for my Downpipe, Chargepipe, intake inlet, custom map from PureBoost, Rexpeed V4, Maxton lip and a couple of goodies from NVSpecialties when i was at SIV (heavily discounted)

let's just say a lot of people owed me stuff lol

Annnnd til this day, some other people say they have some "surprise" stuff for my car since i've done work for/on theirs.. soo technically, other people still owe me stuff i guess. ??‍♂

Ordered A91 edition Supra
About $2500. Catback and tint. All the car needs in my opinion unless you have the hideous two tone wheels.

The Supra has been by far my cheapest car to mod.

You're time is worth something, you've just cut out a middle man somewhere ;)

Probably right around 1k so far, with several items being tools/maintenance items for the new-to-me platform.

I also bought a slightly modified car with probably 10k worth of aftermarket stuff already installed (PPF, ceramic, DP, Fi Exhaust, wheels, FF kit, Ecutek + tune, springs) Trying to hold out on spending much more until I can get my Type R parted and sold to help fund more. I was originally planning to buy new, so I'm already way ahead of my planned schedule for the Supra.

Have nearly 30k spent on the Type R and I expect I'll probably be around there when I'm done with what I have planned for the Supra.

Gosh, I'm pretty conservative thus far, at roughly $2,880.

More than half of it is in parts I don't know if I'm going to install on this car, because I'm still planning to order the manual version next year, and don't know how giddy I am about swapping everything over. Decisions decisions..

I'm about $6k into mods. I feel like I've upgraded the car as much as I'd like to for now.

It's not like my FR-S where I kept throwing money at it in attempts to make it my forever fun car. In the 9 years I owned it, I think I put over $20k in mods into my supercharged FR-S and in the end it's still just a Scion with a Subaru motor. So glad I'm in a Supra now.

My laser jammer / radar detection setup was 5k alone. That’s my biggest single expense so far..

until pure trans build next year
I plan to do the same(laser jammer) this summer. As it stands wheels/tires, suspension, ecu unlock, tune, full fuel set up, dp, exhaust and some carbon pieces I’m right around 22-23k. This summer when the remnant kit comes out I’ll do that, trans, axles and be done with the big stuff. I’m guessing right around 40k total when i finish. Definitely the most I’ve spent on a car in the first 3 months.

We’re basically brothers then ?

the laser jammers are way underrated. I’d pay 10k for them if that’s what they costed

You could also race at the track you live close to. Annual membership is like 300 bucks. :p
