Keeping a spending list?

Does anyone keep a list of what they have bought and how much they have spent on their Zeds?

generally i dont bother as i dont plan on selling it on so wont have a need for old receipts etc...

but today i am bored at work so decided to type down a quick list and rough prices of whats gone into my machine over the 4 years of owning it...

So for those of you that are interested, here is a loose rundown of whats gone in! (not including small fixes, services, mots etc)


JL Audio Sub, speakers and Cobalt Amp = ?600
Sony Xplod Headunit = ?80
CorbeauBucket seats, Sabelt Harnesses and Custom subframes = ?170
Custom Boot net = ?60
Small bit of Carpet (dont ask) = ?20
52mm Throttle Bodie = ?140
Silicon Breather Hoses = ?60
Induction Kit = ?80
New Radiator = ?80
Cambelt Change = ?80
Alloy wheels and Avon tyres = ?700
Spoiler + painting = ?280
Calliper paint = ?20
Lexus rear lights = ?80
R45 headlamps = ?60
Powerflow exhaust = ?300
Powerflex mounts = ?40
4x Calipers = ?240
EBC disks and pads = ?175

Grand total of ?3265!!


How much of that would i have changed today?

JL Audio Sub, speakers and Cobalt Amp = ?600
Sony Xplod Headunit = ?80
Powerflow exhaust = ?300

and got myself one of them VVC conversions from George!


So guys, fancy making me feel a bit better about my rediculas spending by sharing yours?

Somewhere I have a spreadsheet of the total expenditure, it might even have the original ticket price. I also have a folder full of receipts including the bill of sale from SMC. Not as bad as some on here who have done alot of work, but enough when you add it all up!

well i did the maths on mine a year or so back, and it was up to 6k, although a big chunk of that was labour... that however was only from the past 2 years of mods....

i have written off the previous 4 years worth of costs

I'm not even going to consider it. Not had the 180 long but spent plenty on it already, and there lots still to be done! Best not add it up.
