GMMG - $625 Group purchase
Used TSP lid - $65
UMI short stick - $25

Put it all on myself. (real tough I know)
Total $715.00

I imagine it's capable of high 12's. But am I? I just got the car in Oct. First manual trans car ever. Learned how to drive a manual the day before I got it. The car is being stored, the lid just went on. Only drove it after the GMMG went on about 6 times. Never been to the track. Next year's gonna KICK ***!

BTW, if I ever complete the car to the point I currently dream about I hope I can keep the total under 30K.
