20 bucks! haha go rice!
id say 15,000 ish....and still slow
My budget was $20,000 including car. I've still got $2,000 to go and $4,000 of that stuff I can strip off and use on the mythical 'next car'.
I bought the car for $9,000 BTW.
So far my highly modified Neon has cost me less per month than my stock VW Passat did, and the Neon will run circles around the Passat.
3 g's in the purchace, and 1000 in repairs, and 160 in mods.
This is weird, I acually sat down a couple nights ago and added everything up. I checked it out and I could have had a down payment on a house EASY.
I have spent well over 27,000 already just in mods and the car STILL doesnt fucking run. Aint that something for ya
I'm not done modding, I still want to get a body kit by the end of the year. Want to get 19's, want to get at least 4 type R 12's...
I want to give up and move on and spend money on something that will have some return on it. But if I stop now its just a waste of 30,000 for a car that doesnt run and doesnt look that great either ...

Too much

just curious as to how much most enthusiasts dump into their cars. so how much have you spent on mods (not including repairs or purchase cost of the car).
So far i've spent $70 on a shift knob... ha
Don't even like to think about it...... but it's all worth it in the end!!
I don't have a car yet, but when I do, I think I'll spend around $5,000-$10,000 on it.
Haha deal with it Umm I've spent twice what you have and my car still has no paint, the car has only ran for 5min before the engine block went caput and at the rate its going in the body shop I don't think it will be done by next summer. Sounds like we are in the same boat, don't wanna stop until its done but at the same time wish you could just say fuck it and move on!Originally posted by ConVict

You spend money you dont have to buy things you dont need to impress people you dont like
The only replacment for displacement is money.
Around $6000 on my integra. Probably the worst you could spend your money on. Everytime I look at my $800 exhaust I just want to kick it. I guess that's the price you pay for being cool.
Whats the hold up at the paint shop?Originally posted by darknight

I've spent close to 3G's but that's all been stereo equipment. Have yet to get it all installed as well.
Still gotta do the engine swap, handling upgrades, rims/rubber and soooooo much more.
All in all I know I'll spend over 12K easy on my car.
If some of you guys are going to spend that much anyway, why don't you just get a nice car to begin with?
because there is no 4000 dollar car that can touch my 1000 dollar car with 3k worth of mods.Originally posted by Woodson2

I agree with Jeff, however I can't imagine 25 people on here spending +10 000 into their car.
hahaha i know how you feel.... I replaced mine and sold it though.Originally posted by variable_x

I've spent close to 2G on it last summer, this year is another 2, next year is gonna be a 3-5G.
after next year, I'm saving up for an apartment.

I just sold my car and got $3000 for it. I bought it for 1300 and put 500 into it. My car made me money.
