Since getting the car in.. er.. July I think it was, i've done / had done:

 

Coolant / oil / brake fluid all flushed and changed

New front engine mount

Top mounts

Wishbones

Ball joints

Rear axle bushes

Set of borbet C's with Rainsports

Replacement ISV (cheap from the bay)

New HT leads / rotor arm / distributor cap

New coolant flange

Inlet manifold gaskets

Front wheel bearings

Replacement front G60 caliper and a new brake line

New badges (16v grille logo and rear VW roundel)

 

Not bothering to keep a tally! Must be a good £500 in general bits, plus tyres there.. lots of labour has been thanks to very generous folks off here giving up weekends, etc to help me out and has saved me a packet!

I've had mine about three weeks...

 

£100 in parts

£150 in petrol

 

I hope this isn't going to carry on proportionally! If it does I'll get over it I spose, it's worth it

[Goldie 2]

Ive spent a shed load on mine.

 

Ive got every petrol reciept since ive had the car but i darent add it up, it must be quite a total...

ahhh Louis, yes it is!!!

Mine can be found at http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?carId=128

 

Basically if you take into account depreciation, fuel, repairs, servicing, tyres and upgrades (but not tax and insurance) then my car has cost me almost £48k over 10 or so years.

I've had my 16v for 11 years and in that time I've spent about six grand on it, but that's everything, including a gas flowed head (600 quid) and a brand new TSR engine block conversion costing 1500 quid.

 

So it's actually not that bad considering I've replaced all the bushes, suspension components, radiator, exhaust, PS pump and hoses and all service items including timing parts (several times), filters, brakes and even tyres.

I keep a pretty good record of all the bit's I've bought and when they were put on for service reasons as much as anything, it's a pretty long spreadsheet :)

Just over 3k so far, another 2k or so until I'm happy with it :brickwall:

so it's a case of "gotta get this whiny alternator changed" and "blimey the wind today is making this car go a bit quicker!" ? :D

I'd hate to think - my expenses are all silly stuff - I've ported other Corrado bits in really - chrome badges, leather, solitudes, splitter etc. lot of money for people not to notice! :lol:

[CrazyDave 0]

I blame the forum! It was a nice standard VR6 until I came on here :lol:

[Riley 0]
