Too much and I'm not even done yet.
Started adding it up on what is on the car, then realised there is stuff in the hallway and in cupbords
that isn't on the car yet, scared myself and stopped.
Gulp............

An Sti would have been almost double. They don't even bother importing STIs officially because there's no market. There's no point in spending that sort of wedge on one.Thailand - it's got a heck of a lot going for it, but car prices isn't one of them. (It's apparently the most expensive country in the world now to buy cars).
The upside is that it's a lot cheaper to mod your car here beacuse labour costs are practically nowt.

August 93 WRx-Ra Absolute minter.
In the last twelve months I've spent over 8k on bits & pieces, still some to go.
Need a new ash tray, original stinks of some Jap s-#it. Plus decent door mirrors mine are scratched, these may break the bank.....

About £1200 in 6 months (Just had 52k service and BB fitted today)
I have promised to stop now though as I NEED to get on the property ladder.
Oh I could live at home till I'm 50 and have a fantastic car (or 2!)
