Re: How Much Have You Spent On Your Turbo Honda (LowGSR01)
on the turbo goodies...roughly $1500 or so, and it is running (well!)
funny thing is i sold all my n/a parts to fund most of the kit (go skunk2 / JUN for holding their value!) so i only ended up spending $300 after all was sold...not bad. would've spent $300 on pistons for my next n/a mod..glad i switched over
but after a new radiator, starter, and all those other bolt ons, and not to mention suspension, seats, tires, omg dont make me sick.
like...what?! i could've bought a ferrari?! oh no!
