6G Celicas Forums

I wasnt talking second car, I was referring to the extraordinary amount of money ur spending on a celica when you can easily buy a much nicer car, but w/e if you wanna take shots at 2nd cars like an immature lil kid then go for it, but no matter what you say I still didnt spend 30K on a Celica and prop my 1.8T on a pedestal when it got spanked by the Streetzking.

omg where is streetz with the link?

somewhere around the 5k mark

$15k plus on mods. Not a sound investment but definitely a fun hobby.

lost track a long time ago....

car 500$
shipping 380$
marks 3sgte, wiring harness, transmission, etc 1700$
intercooler and piping 600$
airbags and sensors 200$
doors with power windows + wiring harness 200$
rear brake conversion 200$
misc swap stuff (power steering pulley motor mounts, etc, about 500$)
front bumper 100$

im missing some stuff in there, but total ive spent about 4700$ for a swapped celica, not running right yet, but nothing major is wrong so i assume only about 100 more and shell be perfect.

2 much....... in us dollars i estimate with the buying of the car i am more than 43.000.... and i have a long road ahead!!!

Some one call a doctor!!! We all need to find a medicine from this damn mod Illness!!!!!!!!!!!

Way too much to count.... on my ST

and about 4000$ on my SSIII already and im not even driving it YET!!!!! God damn..... and all these 4K went on the mods only..... not counting all the shiznit i will walk on the RHD/LHD swap..

Your going to love that 3s when its done

its hobby you should know that just about as well as the next person on here...there really isn't a point in spending money modifing cars..it yeilds no investment or gain on return it just eats money and depreciates with the more you put into it.. its about the pure satisfaction and joy in doing something you love...and i didn't pedestal the jetta i mearly said it will do just fine...and yea nick beat me in a 1/10th mile race it was impressive..you over it yet? it wasn't that incredible

I guess I draw the line a lil lower than 30k is all.

And no, I'm not over it yet. Wheres the vid, Nick?

OMG, almost 16k for a celica.... JESUS

Anywho, my
car was $4500
CF Invader hood, bumper and sides = $450
rear bumper extensions and riser blocks about $350
PS2, TV/DVD/CD = $800
Rims and Tires = $900

So $7000 total for me.

P.s.
someone should go through and add up the total that EVERYONE spent on there car and see how much it is. Wonder if we got $150k worth of celica on here.

i spent about.. 60 dollars on my car.. thats about it

I havent spent near as much as most of you guys, most of my stuff has been for repairs or keeping it running...

3500 for the car 8 months ago.
400 on clutch + install.
300 for radiator, headgaskets and all new belts.
150 in misc. interior things such as the seat covers, paint, etc.
300 on deck + speakers.
250 for jdm tails
65 for the diff front lights and bulbs and what not.
500 new starter and new power steering pump + line.
900 for tires + rims
100 for bumper.
300 i think for the bullet sides.

Total of like 6800 for the car and everything ive done to it. . . To think i coulda bought a nicer car for 5k and saved some money. Celica is my dream car, so its all worth it. (other then a supra)

prolly around $9500 on exterior, performance, and maintenance for mine. car cost me $7k. $16,500 for a car that can hang with the 200+hp bigger boys for a much lower price (and looks better than most )...money well spent i would say

bboy

Car for $6000

As for mods, I'm guessing around $3000 so far.

about 9k in work and fixing the car up after a minor accident. well worth it in my mind and more money will be going into her this summer.

more than i planned...

£1000'ish for new engine etc etc
£480 full ss exhaust
£45 TRD filter
£180 Sony headunit
£120 Spoiler blocks + painting
£50 Momo gear knob
£100 G-Max lowering springs(not on yet)

Unsure what that is in $$'s...

Car itself - i think it was about $22k (new with 1k miles) fully loaded option at the time - was paid off 4 years ago

Dragon intake - $120
KYB - $200
Dropzone coilovers - $130
Tein SS - $1250
Cusco Mount - $250
Clear Signal/Side Lights -$50
Xenon bulbs from ebay - $100
Mod Totals - $2100 (not including maintenance repairs - probably another $1k)

By End of June +$3k more for 3sgte swap
+ about $1400 more for paint job

+ $40 to file for bankruptcy after i'm done - JK
