Guest Archetype Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks a lot. I'm not sure what I paid for the zincing, sorry. I know I paid for the chroming of a few bits, but I have a feeling that the guy did my dad a favour and did the zincing for me for free. It was done somewhere here in Hamilton, so I could find out some more info from my dad if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SHGWAG Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Spend the $10k on the house deposit. You'll thank it for me later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Archetype Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Spend the $10k on the house deposit. You'll thank it for me later. Yeah, this would be the logical thing to do. The IRD were kind enough to give me a $3000 tax refund today, so that's going straight into the house deposit fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SHGWAG Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Oh really? I owe them money, damn it. But if it'll cost ya $10k, and your willing to spend the money, figure out which is more of a priority, commit, and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 whats this need thats going to cost 10k? EDIT: that should say, whats this need to be finished? If you choose to keep this and need a hand putting it back together/finishing it just sing out, more than willing to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archetype Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I made a quick list of things that I could think of off the top of my head: Racetech 1000 seats (x2)- $1,100.00 Alloy seat brackets - $220.00 Quick release steering mechanism - $60.00 Exhaust - $1,200.00 Filter - $80.00 IDA throttle body - $1,000.00 Intake manifold - $200.00 Link computer - $1,825.00 Braided brake lines - $100.00 Front brake calipers - $450.00 Wiring - $1,000.00 Oil cooler - $300.00 Little bits and pieces - $1,000.00 Tyres (x2) - $250.00 Tuning - $800.00 Labour - $2,000.00 Certification - $600.00 Total - $12,185.00 I'm sure I'll be able to get a few things cheaper than what I've stated above, but there will also be things that I haven't accounted for too.

Guest SHGWAG Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yuh, Braided oil / fuel lines and fittings cost me near on $500. My wiring cost me $500 / cashie from brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archetype Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Oh, I need to add spark plugs, leads, battery, harnesses, gauge(s) and brake pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 uhhhh righto. Is the intention for this to be a road car or a race car? or a grey area cross over? The other thing is selling one car would allow you to fund the other or a house. Do you have your original wiring loom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archetype Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 When I started building this car, my intention was to create a street registered weekender that would be a bit of fun at the track. I suppose that plan hasn't changed at all, but back then I didn't know that I'd end up with a dedicated track car with the Pro7 RX-7 too. Selling the Series 1 hasn't really seriously crossed my mind, and I would like to finish it one day. Once I start something, I will generally finish it - no matter what the cost. Even when I was fucked financially a couple of years ago, selling this car wasn't an option. :icon_smile: With the amount of money that I've put into this car already, I'd only get a fraction of it back if I sold it. Yep, I still have the original wiring loom. It's been cut up a bit, but is still quite clearly labelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hah we have the same problems yea theres definately ways to save $$ in that list, like with the wiring. I do guess you would have sold it by now if you were going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archetype Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I guess you decided to keep yours too then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have no real reason to sell it, So that thought lasted about 36hours.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
