Default how much has ur rs cost in repairs?

just wondered the average cost of keeping ur rs on the road, ive had to replace the gearbox 550 quid, clutch 150 quid (both due to uprating the power) and a new dizzy 110 quid on my s2, not bad for 2 years of ownership and its a daily driver too

cheers kev

I've lost count with mine , somewhere around 5k I would think but that includes a full rebuild when it went bang!
