Here's my costs so far. I don't know whether to include the cost of the car as I had it already as our family car - I didn't buy it for the purpose of an experiment or project. I'll include it anyway:
£1750 VW Golf IV 1.9SDI Estate
£ 119 ScanGuage II trip computer
£ 145 Alu Coil-over suspension lowering kit
£ 40 Audi A3 alloys
£ 30 DTM Cup door mirrors
£ 7 12V tyre inflator compressor (saves spare wheel)
£ 5 TyreWeld can (get me home fix in case of puncture)
£ 346 Total
Before I spend any more (or install anything except the SGII) I will do my benchmarking starting in a couple weeks with a 120 mile trip to Bristol, and 120 miles back again! Then another 200 mile round trip south.
Cheers, Steve
