How much money u spent on ur FC??

[Grizzly]

well its std rule of tuning, usaly you add up what its cost you then half it and you have basicly what its worth. Sounds negative but who is going to pay (for example) 15k for a T2 no matter how nice it is? look at Gman\'s he wanted to get back what he payed but in the end had to strip it? Its back to the old "Why spend money if your not going to get it back?"

I don\'t know about anyone else but i have come to think that no matter what i do to my car it will never be worth more than 3-4k so i tune it with that in mind. I will only use spare cash (that i can afford to blow), i do all the work myself and look at it as a Hobbie. So you will never see me blowing 4k on an engine rebuild when i can do it myself for £400

Belive it or not when i started off i bought a T2 becouse i was intrested in how the Rotary engine worked and it was in that price bracket where i could bin it if i couldn\'t rebuild the engine myself. After i rebuilt it i became attached to it and got bitten by the Bug.

Between the pair, in the region of 12g\'s at the last count. I was advised when i got the first rx... set a cash limit and don\'t go over it. They are a black hole for more than just loose change.

all those after that just arnt trying hard enough.

if i painted it i recon it might be worth 4/5 grand. its just been one thing after another. spiraling out of control. what i have ended up with is a car that no one else has, its pretty quick and goes round corners. i get looks from people as i go by and i can proudly say its something i knocked up in a council garage in essex with a selection of halfords spanners. :rollin .
i would have said its not worth it but now it is working properly and it looks the best it has ever looked i can say its been worth every penny.

And i was expecting a sarcastic comment...

Samfc3s,
what more do you need to do your car?,  what has been done so far?,  if it only needs a few hundred quid spending on it before it reaches a stage that you can call it finished,  then it may be worth spending the money, so that at least you have car that is done and worth the most money you will be able get for it. And at least you can enjoy while you own it.

[samfc3s]

Antincuk....

I still need a power FC to get it map proper ly as is got a panspeed ECU at the moment and then i will prob go for a V mount then i think is all done but that also mean another 2k on top.....

So that may move me into second place...hahaa ^^

[sadgoth]

so far including the car purchase price mine is coming in at about £6800! (which is more than I was expecting!!!)

[grinder]

errrrr ooohhhh let me think ...

i reckon that i have spent under 1K to be honest ... ahhh no maybe a little more

prob somewhere in the region of 1100 - the most expensive part bought for the car has been a BOV at just a touch under £65

so work it from there

and if push came to shove i reckon i could sell the coupe and the cab and break even
