Apart from servicing and getting few dents taken out and maybe front bumper re spray, I'm not doing anything else to it. Its fast enough for me and its already been forged so for me its fine as it is

I have spent a lot more over the 7 years of owning and prob forgot a lot of other stuff, had about 4 sets of wheels, 3 engines and 3 gearboxes, 2 diffs, 5 turbos and 5 exhaust set ups . Prices are from what I remember so some could be wrong..

My Scoob is a classic terzo.

For my current one. Somewhere around £6k in the last year with more planned in the new few weeks including Cambelt and service.

My old silver wrx was around £10k I think before it was broken for parts

That's always the question do you buy one that someone has spent 10's of thousands of pounds on or do you build to your own spec? The later being more expensive but you haven't built it yourself and there something personal with a car you've put together but it costs a fortune to build the perfect Subaru. We must love these cars.

Not as much as some here but ive stopped counting makes me feel better

gaborpapp

mine is simple :

Terzo No 281 out of 333 = £1350
New Exedy clutch 1 week later: £550
New Radiator 2 + silicone hoses + rad cap: £170
Anti Freeze 3 lots of cheap triple qx from eurocaprarts. I think about = 3x£20-£30
Finally discovered HG issue 1 month after bought car: £1850 to rebuild engine with some refurbished uprated parts.

Today bought an Apexi Power FC from ebay with controller = £250. a bit cheap so still scarred seller would change his mind.

Once I have the Apexi ecu fun starts for the 350 bhp i hope for meaning new turbo, injectors, intercooler, fuel pump etc. probably going towards the hi end of the £1000 again ...


Add 8 useless 5x114.3 pcd STI alloys 350. (i need 5x100 PCD)

this makes it 3260 for mods

car + mods = £4610

I have done so far 700 miles. this means I have paid £6.58+petrol / mile.

It is a money pit, but the smile it gives when driven is priceless.

Wow, some people are nuts

I doubt I have spent more than 6-7k in 11 years, and that includes a 2.1, brakes, weld in cage and suspension.

I've spent at least £5000 on my 97 T2000 including the price of the car. Numerous repairs/restoration/upgrade costs, had it just over a year and driven it less than 1000 miles.

Lol at the chap including the cost of coolant.

I've spent at least £19K just putting petrol in the bloody thing since I bought it.

I bought my house 15 years ago, its a 3 bedder in a really nice area

smiffywhu

So Newcastle isn't your local team then???

Sti07 £8,500 last year.

£275 2nd hand full 3" decat
£95 340lph full pump
£48 plugs
£425 remap
£50 bonnet dampers
£80 splitter
£30 panel filter
£200 front bumper spray and repair
£60 oil and filter x2
£10 cabin filter
£40 boost gauge
(coolant £20 )

£4,000 rebuild coming soon

And I'm as tight as a nun so not surprised of some of these huge totals above.

gaborpapp

what i mean with cost of the coolant is an expense because i had a failed head gasket. what happened is that i blew up first the radiator down pipe. then blew up the radiator the existing radiator. then blew up a the new radiator again. it was an expense which could have been spared if I would have diagnosed it properly or at least put water till everything is fixed. What my failed head-gasket was doing, was pushing air in the water only while on boost. and without boost there was never no bubble or smoke or any of the early hg fail. so that is £90 flushed in the toilet.

Over the course of 3 imprezas enough to probably buy and mod an R35 GTR

Just paid my £485 road tax my 7th annual disc (2007 WRX ) that is about £3.000. The car does ave of 25mpg that's 3040 gallons circa £18,000 in fuel about £1,500 on tyres about £1,000 on brakes and about £3,000 on dealer services that's £26,500 without 7 x circa £400 per year insurance.

That is just basic running costs, it seems a lot but it works out about 75% of my weekly £100 ish Morrisons and take away food shopping over the last 7 years would have been circa £35,400. So the up shot running a Subaru is cheaper than a bag of shopping

Jeez, even if I knew I couldn't possibly commit it to print. Don't need evidence like that out on t'internet.
