hell if it costs THAT much to do a rally/race car in oz I'm never gunna move there.
over here, for $10k you can build a damn good car... especially if your talking ke70! of course buying one already done is cheaper, but if you don't have to pay for labour building one can be done for under $10k easy
ke70 $200-800
cage $800-1000 (full manz spec)
seats $6-800
harnesses $150-300 each
terratrip $250-450 2nd hand
4age $1200 (rebuilt 20v)
link ecu $12-1800
gearbox $1000 w5# and bellhousing
diff $1500 hilux lsd.
shocks $1500 coilovers
theres the bulk of it..... and those are imflated prices, shop around and scrounge and you will find cheaper
