How Much Do You Spend?

Everytime people greet me, one of the question that will be asked is this; "How much had you spent on the car?"

Even me myself asked the same question; how much had I spent on the car? So lets do some maths. I'll only calculate on the upgrading, and repairing. Tires, runner, and maintenance (engine oil, etc) will not be included. So lets get going. Oh, its just an estimation and the currency is in Ringgit Malaysia.


Once upon a time..

11000 - The car. (Okay, I only have 9000 that time. 2000 was given to me by my parents. Happy?)

90 - Bullet mirror. (Now it cost RM300+ for the same mirror.)

900 - Advan Oni and spacers.

200 - Tinted. (Which did not pass Puspakom inspection later on. Zzzz.)
500 - Brand new re-pro complete DX set.
1400 - Paint job.

500 - New BOV, intercooler hoses.
400 - Exhaust and cable plug.
150 - Ultra Racing bar.
350 - Half cage.
1300 - Top overhaul.
500 - Plus minus the miscellaneous stuffs.
17000 - Total.


After the car failed the inspection when I tried to sell it, here's the second life of the car:

5000 - Engine, LSD, coilover, workmanship and etc.
200 - Exhaust work.
700 - Work Equip 01.
250 - Nardi.
350 - Sound system.
500 - Wiring job.
600 - KE74 facelift.
500 - Custom bodywork and paint job.

400 - Plus minus the miscellaneous stuffs.
8500 - Total.

Overall:
17000 + 8500 = 25500.

I'm sure the actual cost is more than this. So where does the money come from? MLM (:D), selling car parts, photography job, savings from pocket money and etc. How much had you guys spent on your car?

Something Similar..

Did a quick Photoshop job. Looks very similar though. LOL.

Enche Nardi II.

I'm back home already. Still got a few things needs to be done before Rolla is finally fit and tip top again. The aircond, the alignment, and some fixin should be right. Also an oil change too.

Problem is, I already planned on what should I do one by one. Seems like everything had crashed together now. Earlier, I wanna put on the oil cooler when I change the engine oil. But now, I have the oil cooler, but I still didnt have the hoses and the adaptor. Aircond also still didn't fix. Hmm.

Then, the audio stuffs. Also crashed with my plan to swap some new rubber. And then this and that. Sigh. So many desires yet so little cash. Hmm. And then bought this too:

Anyway, Rolla had been slammed. Now suppa low to me coz I cant pass over every single hump. Front adjuster just 10 loops left, while the rear one had been adjusted till max. Will snap some tomorrow.

Random : Take Five.

From KL to JB and now its time to go back home. Did some observation on the way back home. I'll post it tonight. Snapped at R&R Ayer Keroh. Its been awhile since I used my 50D. Tomorrow gonna do some upgrading on the fuel system, and MAYBE on Sunday, I am joining a drift competition at Putrajaya if everything goes well.

Like it? Hate it? I know the car is tall. I'll slam it back if anyone want to do a photo shoot.

Backdate & Update After The Run.

Still in exam week. My last paper is on Monday. And then maybe gonna off to Melaka with classmates for a post-exam runaway. Hmm, meanwhile, Rolla at home had not been sitting quietly. Still manage to get some free times for her.

Backdate before and after the last MAEPS session. Prepping for the session. Thanks to Mike and Blanquito for lending me the 14' rims.

Also meet up with Mr. Movin Forward! Farkin awesome 1jz!

Swap back to my 15' Oni and a set of used tires. Falken Azenis for the session. Sayang the tire but but but...

And after session. Tire stocks are decreasing now. Sigh. Still got another 4 left at shop. Hehehe.

Anyway, there's a reason why I'm still borrowing the rims. We'll go on to that a bit later. And here's an indicator that Rolla's going too fast?

And my miniature model of Rolla actually had been completed. And finally able to source the somehow-exact shape of Rolla's rim! Like it tall?

 

Or slammed? 5-star spoke and 'spender' rims. Just like the full scale Rolla.



But after a moment, this model kit looks like Din's KE70! So I decided to paint it back to white color. Kekeke. Will definitely not paint the rims coz it is pretty rare.



And fixed up my camera holder for recording. I think there will be no more shake after this. I'd super glue every loose joint.

Tested it already.

Awesomeness of the Day!

Nehh, just some random title. Got this freakin awesome emblem actually for my Rolla.

Awesomeness or too much to tell someone behind me?

Nice oh? Nice? Well, I like it. Really suit Rolla! And some spare tires for some fun later.
