One would expect this car to have been fairly cheap being made primarly out of the Ebay parts bin. But it’s more accurate to say it’s been,” Cheaper” then it could’ve been but not affordable, Having spent the last 2 hours tallying up everything on the car I’ll leave you to navigate my handwriting.
Below is a summary:
$2488.65 . Turbo S ystem; In cludes standalone ecu, wiring, fuel system, exhaust, Turbos, oil, and battery relocation.
$1522.89 .Engine; Includes a rebuild using stock components save for the headgaskets and bearings. Also accessories such as engine mounts, starter, and alternator.
$ 1225.43 . Suspension & Brakes; Bigger calipers, abs delete with new lines run from the Master cylinder, rear suspension refresh, Modified knuckles, and a few bushings.
$956.70 .Transmission; A refresh of all the manual swap parts minus the transmission with new , TOB, pilot bearing, clutch master, slave, clutch line, and CNC shortened shifter to fit in the interior without sacrificing a cupholder(apparently that alones worth $300 to me)
$75 43.50 .Total; Including Miscellaneous bits and Bob’s such as headlight bulbs, wipers, shift knob and afr gauge. N ot including, special tools, pricey parts that I already had , or the chassis.

For under 8k I’d say that one hell of a cool car. But it sounds awesome.
I never did a final tally of what I spent on my VR-4 Galant but I think it was at least 5k, and it was unmodified. However that is including the car, and a bunch of tools I bought along the way, and the 400 bucks I paid to have the clutch installed professionally, which was worth every penny.

Just my 2 cents but you should get a gold SC400tt badge made up for it.

Not too bad, all an’ all. You’ve got quite a car for a seventy-five hundred dollar upgrade. Imagine if you paid someone to do it! 20k?

Napkin math says 15-20, I’m not really surprised by the price maybe my wording was off on the title. Actually was surprised how cheap the turbo system was.
