man where the money goes!!!

**RandomGuy** · 08-12-2005, 02:33 AM

but fuck it... you couldve just as easily bought a car already modded or whatever for muchh cheaper right?... its all about the experience... the transformation... the customization... Trust me its worth every cent you put in... simply because you put it in.

**PSINXS** · 08-12-2005, 02:33 AM

**PSINXS** · 08-12-2005, 02:45 AM

***REDNECK ALERT***
I had around 13k invested in my Iroc-Z28 (yeah let me hear it) before I got hit by an illegal alien with a hit and run. Totaled my car and my insurance gave me 3k. Bought the car back for $1 though.

**fawk_you** · 08-12-2005, 03:48 AM

oh im not griping or mad. im just stoked cause i never thought i would put this much money in a car. it feels great and i cant wait to get it running and drive it again. ill post pic in the cars and PS area next week when my turbo kit and injectors come in and i have the motor in. oh and defintally(sp) post up dyno # and track times when i get them.

**mocha latte cupcake** · 08-12-2005, 04:23 AM

i guess..... i don't know....8 or 9k when i had my spec V.

the silvia: around 7k

the 200sx: 2k...

**JITB** · 08-12-2005, 04:49 AM

ID say about 2k into my car including the swap

**Thrust** · 08-12-2005, 06:24 AM

Current car, About $1600.

**krindus** · 08-12-2005, 06:39 AM

about 2k on mine, which isn't much. but honestly, if you look at maintenance, repairs, gas, you spend a hefty load too. for instance, about 1k+ a year for gas. oil changes every 3k miles = ~150 a year. tune ups, engine repairs. so around 5k + 2k mods, + price of the car. that money goes quick!

**HyPer50** · 08-12-2005, 07:00 AM

I myself have probably put around 8-9k... although this is just me goin' off my head, I'm sure if I actually add up the reciepts it'll be alot higher.

**The Ren** · 08-12-2005, 07:58 AM

Not enough

**Ruiner** · 08-12-2005, 08:14 AM

I we are counting the cost of the car, it will be rather jaw-dropping. Even with just wheels, tires, suspension, exhaust, diverter valves, shift knob, e-brake, I am looking at close to $20,000.

**collins** · 08-12-2005, 09:07 AM

yeah, thats a little more than me... lol...
main things (some still waiting on repair) are as follows:
18x7.5 volk te-37's (gotta steal on 'em) $1200
xtant x1001 $1000
xtant x604 $1000
mb quart premium components (2pair) $1140
capacitor $100
short throw shifter (dc sports, but got it off ebay) $20 (including shipping)
greddy cat back $580
ebay intake $35
springs $150
kyb's $370 (with disocount)
strut bars $100 for both
momo shift knob $50
power cable, ground cable, and speaker wire, prolly around $250 total
tint $150
all led bulbs (tails, corners, and turn signals) $100 or so
black housing projectors wiht halos $350
new bulbs for them $40
new clutch, a couple new axles, and other misc. things really add up. not sure what my totals is tho, but for what i've got, i got pretty good prices on them.

**Kristi** · 08-12-2005, 09:14 AM

j/k baby -

luv u

**collins** · 08-12-2005, 09:15 AM

**Kristi** · 08-12-2005, 09:16 AM

that could be taken in such a bad way.....

damn i got a dirty mind. i guess that is where heather gets it from!

**Julio** · 08-12-2005, 09:56 AM

hnmm 25k +. Not Including the sponsored products.. Wich was about another 20 K in work and product more. ( Did not pay for the n00bz) Wich was basiclly the last year I showed ( 03 ).

**Mike Lowrey** · 08-12-2005, 09:58 AM

~10k

**4dmin** · 08-12-2005, 10:38 AM

15k on my first ride, spent that in 8 months... i spent 1500$ on dtm lights along

.... i won't be doing a car like that in a long long time

**mocha latte cupcake** · 08-12-2005, 10:40 AM

hey thats the price of being DTM...

**Ruiner** · 08-12-2005, 10:51 AM

However, most "upgrades" that people do were already included in the price of my car, so I didn't have to do them. That was part of the reason that I bought what I bought; everything was included. Brakes, suspension, turbo, interior, etc. If we go that route, we are well into the 6-figures.

Fuck.

**clean2draccord** · 08-12-2005, 11:11 AM

Around $11,000. Still shocks me everytime I think about it.

**SLOWR/T** · 08-12-2005, 11:12 AM

mine included the price of the car but it was only $450. ruiner i think counting the price of your car you probally got more in your car than most everyone on here together!!! i have all that money in mine and it still looks like shit

..... needs paint

**HyPer50** · 08-12-2005, 11:14 AM

Well I guess let me try and add up what I can think of off the top of my head...
vortech v2 blower kit- $2200
reichard 3" blower pulley- $150
steeda caster camber plates- $200 i believe
42lb Ford motorsports injectors- $300
walbro 255lph fuel pump- think that was around $200
MSD 6Abtm- $250 i think
Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator- $150
UPR 4" powerpipe- $150

Thats from this year... I'm sure I'm missing some stuff from this year on there, but thats the majority of it.

**SwiftGTiRacer** · 08-12-2005, 11:19 AM

Damn, this post hurts once i go through it all. For my Swift i'm honestly around $17+. Not to sure exactly how much. I just did some quick adding in my head and its above $17k. On my EG hatch that i sold, i say around $2,500. Thats car included. I still regret riceing it out!! The civic coupe, i'd have to say around $2-3k, if that. Thats not including the car of course. All i want to do is sell that car.

Swifty

**B16a2 Civic** · 08-12-2005, 11:19 AM

too much fuckin money....

i say im at about 7-8 k now.....with all the speaker shit i keep switchin out on, tires, exterior mods, and motor mods....yea about 7-8 k on this Si

**Pedal** · 08-12-2005, 11:19 AM

i have got aound 40K in a 93 civic as it sits not including all the shiti ahe swaped around

and about to have about 2500 in my FC

car cost left out

**trythefly** · 08-12-2005, 11:35 AM

If I were to have paid full price for everything I had done to the bhooger it would have been around $35K.

I only put in around $25k probably though including car cost.

**Boosted S60R** · 08-12-2005, 12:06 PM

I am siting around the 30,000 mark right now including the system that is not in the car anymore. 70,000 if you include the car.

Including the price of the car, I am in the $135,000-140,000 area give or take.

Damn I dont feel so bad any more.. if you include the car I've dropped probably $55k.. If I knew then what I know now it would probably be about $10k less. No regrets though.. I took care of all the other responsibilities before I started putting money into my car (savings, house, etc)

**technoteg97** · 08-12-2005, 12:28 PM

..the most..would be a new engine..for 699 and installation for about 300 or so..=) only 35K miles . body has 74k Miles. on a 97 integra.

**AtifSajid** · 08-12-2005, 12:44 PM
