BAH amateurs.



I just dropped $5900 on a paintjob, $1200 on a bumper, $600 on rims, $700 on a turbo, $1500 on an ecu, and i dont even wanna think about adding up my fuel or ignition systems nevermind the $300 porting and $630 for ceramic coating my housings, and the $600+ im about to drop for the pieces to rebuild the motor.



heroin, na thats too cheap.



kevin.

 

I will not go into what is invested nto mine to date.. its scary.





I just dropped:



$800+ for 4 Hoosier Slicks

$1200 for a brand new Mazda TII tranny from the factory that has never been installed in a car.

$300 for a new rear hatch with lexan window



The tranny money I took from savings.



The rest is on the Visa card to be paid off slowly over time.



Its like being addicted to crack except 10X more expensive.

 

my guy charges $350 to rebuild a tranny and even gives it a warranty, $1200 is kind of crazy no?



btw- thats from a shop 20+ years in business, not some guy in his house.

 

hey rob think you can get me a deal on getting my trans rebuilt? i need to have that done too lol.



kevin.

 

not a problem, I even have a spare one somewhere

 

score! do you have a turbo trans tho?



kevin.

 

derr, of course its a TII tranny

 

i am teh winnar!



hold onto that spare trans is it a fresh rebuild.



kevin.

 

This is a BRAND NEW tranny still in the plastic from Hiroshima.



It would cost over $3K for this tranny I am sure even with my Mazdaspeed discount I would be more.



I am having Just Racing Fabrications in Port St. Lucie build me an endurance racing style tranny right now. Parts alone (From Mazdaspeed with my discount) are running close to $800.



I dont know how you're friend is rebuilding that cheap. My rebuild with labor will run close to 2K.

 

parts of me was going to offer rebuilt TII and FD trans, then I came to my senses and figured its not worth the hassle



its not rebuilt, its in need of rebuilding actually.
