I spent about 20k on my old Mk3 Supra. Granted about 10k of that went to DP Motorsport in the early days. I then learnt I could make a 650bhp MK3 for a bout 4k if I did it all the work myself, so sold about 6k of bits off as I bought big brand rubbish and none of it was needed. MY V6 MR2 conversion cost be about 2k including the car, engine and special gearbox and G45 Storm ECU. My Passat will cost be about £500 tops to put the V8 twin turbo motor in it (this will mostly be material and machining costs). The more people you know in need of a unique service, the cheaper it seems to get (isn't that right Ryan :D)
