400 in a classic with suspension/brakes to match and good looks will set you back at LEAST 10k if your starting with a standard car

Very far from finished! It needs wheels (I'm on 16"s), front brakes (I'm on 4 pots), coilovers, poly bushed rear, front anti rollbar, 2.3 short motor, bigger turbo etc etc and I'm already at 420bhp at 1.6 bar and looking for 450 at 1.8! It's non stop
That's what I like about my M3, it's pretty much standard and I don't feel the need to keep modifying it
Granted it's not that quick
Subaru's are like a drug! They are very addictive
