Actually, she's cool about my problems. The only thing she said was "think of all the shoes I could buy with that sort of money".

Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know how much. Clutch and flywheel next.

Decat going on on Thursday.
Suspension rebuild this weekend.
I'm going to have to move insurance companies as well.

We continue.

When it's superstrut suspension for a sixty thousand dollar car with TRD other bits, lots and lots.

The lower suspension arms are five hundred bucks alone. Each. The camber control joints another 100 or so. 80 bucks for the top mounts (and you need four of them), and 3-400 hundred for each of the front shocks.

The TRD springs were only about 400 bucks. Which I thought was reasonable.

You need to remember that this is a very rare car, with very trick suspension. It's corrispondingly expensive.

Most the bits were shipped from Japan, and I live in the rip-off capital of the world.

Right now, I don't care.
