[acf8181 0]

seeing as its about to go up for sale, thought i'd tidy up the receipts folder.

vw receipts (mostly nuts and bolts as i'm so pedantic i replace any i remove! - but there is a set of gen leads in there as well) - £475.80

on garage bills/ecp/gsf/etc - £2375.76

and finally on uprated bits and bobs (so susp/recaros/VT mounts) - £1193.09

so total of £4005.65...so inc buying the car i've spent £7505.65 (better than some i suppise)

to be totally honest, i'm not that horrified. when i bought mine highlines were £8k....i'm happier with what i got than a standard highline thats for sure.

i will be removing the modded parts, which are worth about £700 second hand anyway.

some people have spent a lot more than me.

[acf8181 0]

must be the 2.0l T.. my mate has an MR2 with the ferrari kit kar stuff on, looks cool. still fake tho, hes just had the normal 2.0l converted to a twin T both from a supra and custom manifold etc, it goes well but i think its just novelty as hes only pulled 290 bhp. may as well had a single T put on and had it tuned. supposed to be in fast car next month but i dont think they have pictures of it yet.

must admit though, i like the MR2 it is definately fun to drive and you get some fun arse out action too. should keep you on your toes andrew.

I bought my car in October, and I've just worked out I've spent over £9000 in total including buying it and insuring it. That's a sore one.

to be fair ACF hasnt spent loads but then his hasnt been modified loads either... most of it as been on trying to keep the thing on the road, I dont blame him for cutting hs losses I probably would have done sooner but to get a better VR rather than an mr2!

well, i'm actually 100% confident that my vr6 will now be bomb proof. its pretty damn sorted now.

if i hadn't taken it to that poor garage i'd have saved about £1500 at least (they screwed up a fair few things)
