There's a lot of hidden costs that people don't factor in. "Oh, I bought the Miata for $3000 and I'm going to spend $2000 on a turbo kit..."
Well, folks often forget things like gauges, lines, upgraded clutch, fuel system (injectors and fuel pump at a minimum), tuning, EM, exhaust system, WBO2, upgraded brakes, etc.
Then add in a lot for labor.

So then my granny told them to take the car and shove it up their *** and we just paid in full with my auto loan.
After taxes and everything, it equals about 4400. Still a pretty sweet deal if you ask me :]
BTW, The chrome on the rims are chipping off lol, they just look good from far away, but more pics soon!

I was just throwing out made-up numbers based on your earlier posts. I didn't get to page 3 and see that you bought a Miata.
First off, congrats!
I was just trying to say that if you spend $3k-4k on a car, in order to safely get to the 225-250whp range, you probably will spend a lot more than expected. There's always hidden costs. Especially if you buy something used, sometimes there's missing pieces or worn out parts that people forget.

window motor is going out. rolls down uber slow.
hub bearing possibly bad? [when i go over a bump is makes a high chime/grinding noise]
brakes have tad bit of rust
engine has a little bit of rust/antifreeze

handling was FLAWLESS.
shifting was flawless. i love how it can lose traction from shifting from 1st to 2nd :]
im enjoying this car so much. everyone in the world should have one!
