    Default Most expensive part(s) on your car.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
