$50 for mounts that don't work - fabbed my own.
$30 in steel to rebuild cowl for the 4th gen HVAC
$384 Headers
$325 Computer/Harness Mods
$600 Gauges/Air filter stuff/02 Extensions
$231 Mufflers/Filter/Throttle Cable/Reducers, another $150 for the rest of the system.
$70 Air Intake plumbing
$150 Misc. Wiring/Plumbing for fuel system
$90 driveshaft shortening/balancing.

The rest of the stuff I fabricated or modified of existing parts. Besides that, I bought the parts car, an '01 T/A for $4300 and parted out the car minus the drivetrain and fuel system and HVAC stuff. I still have a ton of parts laying around. I made $3300 back on the rest of the car and sold a lot of stuff cheap just to get the stuff moving. I kept the flawless black front and rear T/A seats as well. After selling the old 400/200$R I made quite a bit of money doing the swap. Fuel mileage the othe rnight to the track, racing, and back sitting in traffic for an hour was 22.1MPG, based on a friends odometer who went with me. It seems to get roughly 17 or so in town. I haven't figured out why my speedo doenst work yet so in town mileage is a rough guesstimate. I can tell you that the mileage is incredibly better than the 400 ever was and I don't baby the thing around a lot.
