36.5 would be WAY too low, then. 50 is just about perfect.

Anyway back to money... I'll do the beater since it's much easier:

Super ugly 1993 Integra GS:
$2500





OEM taillights: $25 off ebay
OEM intake: $1 off ebay
Personal Steering wheel: $45 off ebay
DC2 GS-R shift knob: $4 from a junkyard
Tein Springs: $30 off eBay
KYB GR2 shocks: $120 off ebay
New rotors, pads, and ALL the fluids: ~$200
1pc Headlights: $120
Falkens (195/60/14 bitches!): ~$200
Getting the white paint off the bumper lenses and painting them amber: $6
S2000 muffler: FREE


That's all I can think of right now...

So $2500+$751= $3251

I know scott (385lt1) had a ton in his camaro as well. He went through multiple setups from supercharged to built engine for n2o. I'm sure he has spent $30k on his mods over the years

Also, Carl (GTIR) has some serious green in his car...and it shows.
