Most expensive part(s) on your car.

[1439/2000]

I was looking at stuff my car has on it the previous owner had done to it and was amazed how much some of the shit costs.

My Forgelines were expensive I knew but with my size an offset they are $530 a wheel.

My Shep tranny rebuild and transfer case was like $1800.

So that's the most expensive single part or parts I have on my car.

What stuff do you guy have that was waaaaay too much but you love it?

[5thgcelica]

new clutch was $950

CF hood was $600

body kit was $750

my tires are $600

[Rican219]

Dual Weber Carbs 48 IDF $939.95 that sucked

[B16a2 Civic]

door hinges- 1500.
rims 1600- new w/ tires.
air strut kit- 1900 ( yet to be installed)
and then the lik 100-500 dollar things here and there

[4dmin]

my wheels for sure are the most expensive.... then fmic then software

[CRVTech]

For my car...I didn't really pay all that much money for anything. I'm cheap. I guess the most expensive was the air ride..and that was due to a lot of trial and error. I'm guessing we spent around 1500.

For the truck, I haven't spent much on it either. The four-link was 400 bucks. Add to that all the money for fittings, air line...bags, ect...probably over 1000 in it.

I spend way too much money on air ride.

[rolling_trip]

$850 for an Ecutek reflash. Being just software, I can't see it, but i can damn sure feel it.

How was your clutch $950??? Did you get a tiliton in a stock celica or something? Or is this all the clutches you had in the car since the first owner?

Tires alone $600??? Where are you buying your parts?

[B16a2 Civic]

Lol, you guys must be buying your tires and they are hiding gold in them or something....i bought a set of pirelli's super sport 7000 215/35/18 for under 500 bucks.

You better have Advan a series R compounds.

I have avs es100s and i can't see for street tires why anyone would pay $600 for tires unless they are a huge size.

Now before this thread gets off track I dont want a list of everything you have on your car. Not like 300 here, 400 there.We all have put a lot of money into our cars, well some of us. I have have thousands in my car but what is one or two BIG purchases. I guess a motor swap counts.

I'm talking about like BAM, two grand on ONE part or something like that.

[PSINXS]

well no one part was too expensive. most things were around the 400 dollar area. Sr20 are kinda cheap to build. the parts for the fully built motor n partially upgraded drivetrain(clutch n flywheel) were only 4k. i got quite a few things at a discount.

the next upgrade will probably expensive. power fc(800) n hks gt-rs turbo kit(2k). but thats not till february.

[civic95]

SC started at $1500, but ended up being $2K before it was over.

Rad, read my posts. It's about one or two BIG purchases you've made. Not everything you have bought cause a 100 bucks isnt alot.


ONE OR TWO BIG PURCHASES THAT WERE EXPENSIVE NOT A MOD LIST.

Putting coilovers on a Porsche (about 2hr per wheel @ $85/hr) + alignment + corner balancing = $1100

It was done at an independent shop. The dealership would have been a few hundred more, but not much.
