Last year I spent a fair bit....
The car £5500
Supercharger £4000
Milltek system £406
Splitter £117
Apex springs ( complete waste of money ) £125
PAS pump £200
Insurance £500
Then I got a break and managed to get both belts and oil pump along with a few other bits for free
About 11k all together and don't regret it one bit
Lol the apex springs where a waste of money? Id say that was the least of your worries!
Mk1 Ph3
Had mine for a month, haven't had chance to do much to it as of yet but...I've spent nothing
Car was a birthday present, so were brand new tires, new rims, valver dash and valver clocks
Tell a lie..I have spent £900 on my provisional insurance
Had the car about 8~9 months, £6200 on the car, £200 on the Eibachs and fitting, £600 on the wheels, £230 on full wheel re-furb, £400 ish on the Yozza, £400 on the stereo set up, and afew bits and bobs here and there...
Better than pissing it down the trough in a pub like I used to do...

Not including the car the total spent on mine just in tinkering bits not consumables is knocking on the door of £7,500... FML Depresses you when you think about it, however when i'm back out in the car i'll quickly forgot what i've just said!

too much! its definitely a money pit - more expensive to run, poorer build, less water tight than an elise s2.
£560 belts, rear brake pads and service, £180 continental tyres, £360 k-tec exhaust (original fell off), £200 brakes ds2500 pads/brembo max discs), £70 dogbone mount - fitted. then insurance and tax (another £800)
to do still - front top mounts and geometry, leaking roof (no sunroof!), leaking sill/front arch, hazard light switch, speaker not working, another service as 12k miles covered, fuel light occasionally comes on if i brake hard!, temp gauge took 7 degrees off temp readings on one of the coldest nights ever and has continued to do so since - bizarre!
Also 2 rear shocks failed, power steering started leaking onto front brakes (!), both within 25k from new and within 6 months of buying the damn thing "mint" with 20k on it!
There is probably more that I have forgotten.....
Thank goodness its a 172 cup so i have no ABS/air con/stability control/cruise control etc to go wrong!
I probably should have set fire to it a long time ago!

I have spent ££££'s over the years on cars. Not including buying my saxo VTS, I had £7000 + of receipts for parts and labour on that car.
I haven't spent that much on the Clio though, I bought the Clio in April and since then I have spent £2000 ish on parts and labour.
It's coming together nicely though now. Another £2000 and it will be mint
