Stock EG transformed into my JDM dream.. Opinions

[Paul1985]

Hey guys... just typed out what i wanna do with my next car which is definately gonna be an EG Hatch (happening as soon as i sell my current EG).. The pricing is all just estimated by myself and i was after some opinions and after some correcting in places i may be completely wasting money or where pricing estimates is completely off target (some areas ive allowed myself extra money to cover things).. I'll be doing all the labour myself (except internal work).. If u would do something different or if u know a better order of doing this.. let me know.. ALL opinions/advice is appreciated even negative.

Car
01. Cheap EG Hatch in either white/silver (E.F.I) $6000

Engine/Performance/Suspension etc
02. JDM B18c 1/2 cut $6000
03. New fluids, Timing belt, etc, etc, etc $500
04. Brake Upgrade $1000
05. I/H/E (Toda,Mugen,Spoon,HKS,Apexi? Unsure which) $2000
06. Coilovers (Im thinking Tein or maybe HKS Hypermax) $2500
07. Strut brace, Stabilizer bar etc.. $300
08. HD Clutch & Flywheel package (Toda, Exedy) $2000
Total(inc. car): $20,300

Wheels/Interior/Exterior etc
09. Lenso VE's white 16" (TE37 Replica's) + tyres $1500
10. JDM Front Lip $200
11. Colour Code Black Strips/Mirrors etc $300
12. JDM Tail Lights $500?
13. Either JDM Headlights or Angel eyes projectors(unsure yet) $500?
14. JDM Cluster $400?
15. Type-R gear shift boot $60
16. Mugen shift knob/park brake lever/pedals $400?
17. Complete stereo system inc. sub & amp(nothing to $$) $2000
18. Pair of Recaros and/or matching/retrimmed interior $3000+
Total: $8860+

Internal Work
19. Toda/Type-R cams, pistons, push rods etc etc.. honed and oversized bore, all sorts of things hopefully.. not exactly sure what atm though.. give me some ideas $5000+

COMPLETE TOTAL: $34,160+

Thats basically it for my dream car thats just a quick thing i typed up while i was bored.. i may even decide i wanna do internal work before i do anything to my interior/exterior... but how i typed it is how i'd like things to go... steps 1 - 8 are my priorities.. the others would be bonuses.

Any feeback would be great, and again, all my pricing is completely my own estimates.. do not use it as a guide, you'd be crazy if u did lol

Just let me know what u guys think... do u like my dream car and my next project?

Thanks Paul

sounds like a real good dream
but if you set out your goal as this is what you want
than you will achieve it

Personally for the money, id just source myself an EG6Import

Is this even possible to do...
i mean without it being a personal import??

Also.. IMO sometimes all the fun is in building your car.. depends though, if i had say a genuine JDM ITR, a car like that i wouldnt really wanna change much

u sure???

i thought u owned this car.. 1996 HONDER EG2 V-TECH
lol that alone is worth 50g's isnt it??

[[[d a n n y]]]

all that could be done with under 30K budget
i can see heaps of overpriced things already

[KB]

yeh i agree

if you want a project to do

then do it. I think it would be great fun!

[[[d a n n y]]]

oh btw for exhast and strut bars etc

try to get used parts that'll cost ya half as much

[Paul1985]

cheers danny will do.. prob most the parts ill buy here on OH through traders/second hand sales.. u reckon under $30k.. that would be nice

[bennjamin]

howabout you just sell ur car , and buy a ITR , which will be faster and mroe reliable than the setup you wish for ?

J/K its your dream

And yes as others have said , alot of items are cheaper than you think.
