It looks like alot as a total, but I'm sure if you sat down and calculated what was spent, say over a years period of every little thing involved in the modification, you'd sh*t yourself.
With mine, i found a tonne of money went to stupid little things like hoses, fittins, wrap, cleaner, all the stuff you never think about.
I just did a full 3" dual exhaust, minus the headers and the mufflers, the 90 bends in SS would have been $60 a pop if I had to buy them, and with the number I used, plus the pipe, then through in the cost for the headers, mufflers and CATS, I figured, I just stuck a $1400 exhaust on the car.

$3k is quite a bit but you are still way ahead money wise of the guy who went out and bought a $20k vehicle.

Where were the parts ordered? Those priceses seem really low. Is that just me?
I am mainly reffering to the MOOG stuff and the Bear stuff
If you got that stuff for 175, what is Spohn selling for over 300????
Fill me in, I need to buy these parts very soon

you guys are lucky to have only spent such a little amount.....
in the past 8 years i've bought my car, sold it and bought it back. not to mention completely rebuilding it fully twice and then partially changing it almost every year to keep up i could have several c5's in the parking lot. wouldn't be nearly as fun though.
i bought my 91 and spent roughly 12,000 in the first 4 years it was a daily driver which included the paint. my last drivetrain with exhaust was easily over 14,000. wheels, interior and suspension another 15,000 and that's with doing most of the labor myself.
the new car i have 8,000 into the ls2, 3,500 into the air ride, 6,500 into the brakes, rims and tires. 21,000 into the paint and interior. so i don't want to hear it, i wish i could have spent 3,000 and been almost complete. the list looks nice, car looks great... keep it up!

I agree with Kandied, your getting off easy. But don't get me wrong, you spent a boat load of money no doubt!
Think of it this way, you spend all that cash and you now have a great machine thats a pleasure to drive which your thoroughly enjoy, right? Its basically a new car inside and out, but better yet it is customized to your desires and it is now more performance orientated then it ever was.
or..., you could have went out and, for the same price, bought a brand new 4-banger Honda Civic with power windows and A/C. Which would you rather have?
$16,600.... I think you got one hell of a bargain!

I set out with this project with a few guidelines:
1.) To be as fast as a new (new at the time 2001) Z28, and I've just about made that goal.
2.) To be as smooth as a new sports car (eg quiet interior, comfy ride that can handle if it has to)
3.) Not too flashy, almost sleeper-esque outside appearance, but unique and clean. Almost trying to give it a look like it's a new sports car that I just bought off the lot.
I don't have some of the skills that others have on here, but I've networked well, done what mechanical things I could, and paid for what I couldn't. I didn't always buy the top end stuff, but it was always quality stuff, never compromising. And if I can give anybody on here one tip on your project, it's planning!, planning!, planning!
I think when this thing is all done in a month or so, I will have meet my goals. I'm happy with the results, and I've managed to do it making low-level enlisted pay and 2 deployments overseas.

i think kandied knows what going overboard is, but such a nice car
3000 isn't a whole lot, but yet it is
hard to make but easy to spend

WOW
Gunny, that is one hellava color. Can I flatter you and paint my car the same color?
What color is that? You have one sweet looking ride. I share your philosphy on what you want out of the car. Of all the upgrades I've done, I bought only the top notch stuff. I think for Christmas I'll be getting either a paint job, or chrome plating the stock 92 Z28 wheels (still deciding).

Gunny, looks great, I deffinantly think 3000 clams is a lot of money, but I've doen mine on a budget
adn I now have $23,000 into mine, coarse I've documented every single receipt. I have a folder off reciepts that is almost 8 inches thick! But in actuall value I probably have almost 30K in it. I had a lot of friends who did stuff for free or cost. Like my first engine, the machine work was done for free!
Anyway, nice ride and looks killer!

Why haven't you answered on the color? I think it looks bad *** as well. My '85 Z was originally some gray color and I think it would look awesome repainted whatever color you've got on your car. So if you could fill us in on what it is exactly PLEASE.....

If you do a search for it in the appearance forum, it should come up with a thread with the exact color code. I can't remember the exact number anymore.
