Default $70,000 Turbo Integra?

Holy cow, Honda Tuning Magazine features a nice looking integra with a Greddy G20 kit and a few other things on it. The guy says he's spent $70,000 on it though! How is this possible? I'm going to try to do a part by part breakdown when I get time...but that's just flat out nuts.

umm that just way too much to spend on a 20k car brand new, i would rather go jump on a m3 or m5 and call it a day. but each to his own, some people do it for fun or accomplishment.

he is prob including the price of the car, labor and parts and dyno time and ****. I can see it if thatsa the case.

People that bought new cars and made big HP set ups. start adding up the receipts, youll be suprised. I did all my labor myself and got **** for cheap and i was certainly suprised

Yea if i counted how much money i spent on the car, it'll all add up to a lot. But let say he spend 50k on the car, that just plain stupid... It either he love integra to death or he stupid.

He could be including more than one "phase" of the car. You know a lot of people build up practically the whole car and then redo it...like spending 10k on an NA setup and becoming dissatisfied and going turbo.

I would seriously have bought a house instead of 70k on a car. And then everyone knows that you will never get that back...not even a fraction of it.

He, some people just have more dollars then sense

Why pay anything when you can just steal it, right?

umm, this actually sounds like my friend aaron. hes actually spent more like 80g's on his type r. Honestly, i dont know where the money went, i blame the whole jdm craze, because thats where a lot of the money went. Let's just say his cusco full carbon fiber wing cost twice as much as my DA. The kid is just crazy, and i kept telling him to just spend the money on a benz or bimmer, but hey, its his money, so what could i do?
