    I just spent 7.5 grand and I may with a fair wind end up with 400ish and that doesn't include any supporting mods such as suspension or brakes.

    But hey I won't pour water on youthful enthusiasm.

    Costs less than a tenner...

    get on fleabay and buy stickers with things like "HKS" and "Greddy"on them and plaster them all over your car.

    According to the lads round here, with enough stickers, you'll have at least 600 ponies

    If you are serious and not a dreamer I suggest asking on T5D5. I reckon 7k if spent wisely could get you near. Its all the silly mistakes and things you should have done at the beginning that cost you the money. You need to put in a lot of research and ask the correct people.
