How much?, how much money in your celica? Options

[Shigexile]

I just wanted to know how much you guys spend on your cars. I look at your celi prof and see that you guys buy a lot for your car. (Performance parts, Interior, Exterior and all...) This will give me a estimated amount of how much i will spend. (you can see what i'm planning on getting on my prof page)

Got all news seals and fixed some of the oil and compression leaks that the motor had; installed a new transmition with centerforce clutch (the clutch cost about 250). New brakes, and all new stock suspension. This was all done for 2500. I have since spent

Cat-back exhaust-300
intake-180

Total including buy the car- rougly 6000

I think I'd rather not know, it would probable just make me sick to see how much money I've spent so far, but I know I won't stop for a long while either. I love spending money on my car.

$850 on electronic crap (SAFC, RSM, Radio)
At least $600 on the exhaust system alone
Couple hundred on brakes

More parts are soon to be on the way as well.
