How much money have you guys spent on your cars? Any of you guys still keep track? LOL
Last project I spent $25K in upgrades for my 2000 Prelude over a two year period. $0 so far on my BMW.
What about you guys?

check my sig to see how poor I am. I have to regulate my mod spending to 1 item per year.
1999 - Short intake - Contemporary Motorsports - $150
2000 - Solo Short shifter - Impressions Auto Design - $140 w/ install
2001 - Custom cat-back Exhaust w/Magnaflow - Speedville/Calgary Muffler - $460
2002 - Chikara Torq-step header hopefully. I'm trying to get one now.
Also little thinks like peddal's and shift knob - $50
*all costs exclude gst*
so about $856. My car means the world to me and I'd have rims, suspension, cams + tuning, and all the little dings taken out if I could afford it.

:nut: yeah car mods are like pringles... once you pop you can't stop....:nut:
i think i've dumped around 10 G's in my car...but i've gone through every mod at least twice. so if i did it rite the first time it would of only cost around 5 G's.

even being a 18 years old that i am still waiting to get a car, im surprise that you can make a car look that nice w/o throwing in at least 10k. ( especially to fluidic's jetta, very nice).. now if i get a car i might actually be able to do something w/ it! :clap: :clap: :clap:

hmmmm excluding repairs/replacements parts .... around 4-5K...
speedracer
07-10-2002, 09:27 AM
Hmmmmm well most of parts are replacement parts / maintenance / repair.
Lots of Mobil 1
Tires
Wheels
Suspension changes (these are no fun to to do)
3 sets of rotors already
... (too many to list)
Come to think of it I'd cry how much I've spent if I ever wrote it down... :D :burnout:
Added to the list a
New Fender
New Hubs
New Rotots
It just never ends :banghead: :thumbsup: But the day it stops being fun is when I'll stop.
~20k when all is said and done. All the little things that add up pretty quick.

i've put about $8k into my car. maybe more. i've gone through a number of parts more than once. like exhaust system. i've had like 3 different ones. 4th one is going on soon. ~$8k is just the stuff actually on my car. i have another $2k-$3k of stuff in the garage. i think i wasted the most money on a stereo system..... then i sold it all. hehe.
so far max_boost holds the record of $25k!!!! has anyone beat that? :confused:
I've spent about $500...havent had much time really to go all out...
My total project the way I want it will wind up being aproximatly $3000, which is very reasonable!
