Default MOD $$$$$$$$$$$$ this year????????????/

How much have you spent this year,starting near Jan 1, 2002, on mods including labor. How much more are you spending for this year?

For me I am planning on a 408 stroker in the summer. Hope I have the finances by then. :seeya

ABout $700 since Jan 1. Hopefully not a whole lot more, I need some budget to do something with my '70 :yesnod:

(Note: A new camcorder for track events does not count. New tires do not count. New rotors for track events do not count. :D )

I think 2002 will be a $20,000 year for me! :)

436ci Stroker, 1 7/8 ARE Long Tubes, DRM Radiator/Oil Cooler going in within the next month...

Then a buncha brake upgrades and race rims/tires for some roadracing plans this summer.

Tubbing and Rollcage is next winter's project.

I'm contemplating selling my '70 and replacing it with a "finished" C3 - the numbers just don't work out for dumping a ton of money into my car, it's cheaper to buy one already done.

On top of that, my Ranger lease is up in November, so I've got to start thinking about a replacement for that.

This is a bad year to not be getting any profit sharing/bonuses/raises :nonod:

Why would you want a Daewoo when you already have the Hyundai Quad Turbo with direct inject NOS? :confused:

$370.00 (Accel/LPE intake base) so far. Got large tube runners, and ported plenum (225.00) coming in Feb. Once I mirror polish everything, I'll probably be making a visit to Brian's. I've got forced induction plans, but don't know if my current motor is up to it. Gotta finish up a free mod I'm doing today - pulled the frizbee (vibration damper) off my coolant pulley. Think I'm gonna strip, and polish the pulley while it's off. :D

Oh well, back to the garage. :cheers:

Nothing in 2001 so far. Last month TPIS LT headers, Magna flow X pipe, MSD wires, NKG plugs, Power duct, Cross Bar... just under 2g's.
