thats my ball park figure too...


I paid $7500 for it a few years ago, after my last build up I had $15K in receipts so that puts me at $22,500...after seeing this I relized I didn;t want to know what I was into my new build up so I haven;t really saved all my receipts, just major purchases...but I know I have atleast another $5-$6K in this build up and I'm not done yet...

Its depressing when you think about it like this...-_-

This is my favorite question for people to ask me. My answer is always... "Dunno, don't care. It ain't cheap, but it's doable."

Nah, she probably knows better than me, but I stopped caring after the third set of axles. If you dwell on it too much, it just depresses you. This sport is all about evolution. If you started out knowing what you know now, you could have done it alot cheaper, but the only way to learn what you know now, is to do what you did, which costs alot of money. I didn't go to college, so I consider this my tuition for my educaton.:cool:

Thats the strandard answer, Because even when something gets changed/upgraded I sell off the old to recoup cost.:D
