Around 23K not including original purchase price, nor including cost of multiple tranny/rear-end/engine parts and labor.... only the currently installed parts and associated labor. And it looks like it'll be going up soon based upon the noise in the engine

~1k for the trans
~50 for lid & filter
~400 for the heads
~200 for the Alternator
~90 for the Eibachs
~30 for each oil/filter/seafoam change

I dont pay labor cause I do the work (except put the transmission together. I pulled and put it in though with a lot of help from my buddy)

Not including purchase of car or gas.
Insurance is 76/month









If I did this for my truck, I'm sure I'd start crying

I've had the car just over a year and it's got about $8500 in it, and it's still on stock bottom end. I've saved a ton due to me doing all my own work too.

Let's just say that I've been on my 3rd T-56 in the 99 in about 2 & 1/2 years That's enough for a rear and a short block, but I'm going to have to say mod wise...
$5500 in parts
