Roughly 13,000 but that does not mean all the parts are on my car, price could even be over that for things which I obviously can't account for or price it out.

[Driveby]

Wow, that's a lot. I really love my car and am hoping to have a VERY long and fruitful relationship with it, but I just can't see putting 30k into it. I could see putting 10k into it pretty easily, but 30k? I hope that's because the dollar is so low and that's just the conversion rate! LOL

Out of the $30k, like $900 was labour for mapping, the rest is all parts (I'm a mechanic so do all of my own work)
Im not finished yet though so I could probably see that number doubling if I ever sell the car (unlikely) therell be one hell of a part out sale

[easternpiro1]

DAMN! now that i have seen numbers in the 30k range im not so ashamed

ninja turtle 1- EVERYTHING... about 8
ninja turtle 2- SO FAR.... about 7

total 15k roughly... jeez. thats nuts.

<thats how i feel now... in that order... im going to cry myself to sleep now.

[RickJamesBish]

Let's see...nothing?

It all depends on how long I keep this thing, and on one side, I hope I do, but on the other, I also don't want to run into age-related problems later on down the road.

But the idea of my car with some sweet 17"s, maybe a spoiler or two, and a couple performance mods would be sick...then again, I sort of have a problem with making an auto fast.

IDK

[hurley97]

I think I have about $12-13k into it, not including the $6k for the car itself.

[_rz_]

hm...
$16K for the car and about $20K into parts and about $5K into insurance
I think that about $10K more will follow for sure

[Stambo]

I pay $1200 dollars for 6 months for insurance.... cause i'm a bad apple

about $350 for exhaust
anoather $100 for ebay header...
$120 for intake
autozone engine paint valve cover..... $5
$300 for TRD 3pt strut brace
Side markers and glow gauges for like $35
Neons wired to a switch (source from the stupid light around the cig lighter) $30
and waiting for spring to come so i can get all new suspension.

[bccentaur3]

$10k not including the price of the car.

[pitcelica]

13K + 6K price of the car. Go there if you want a complete part list : http://pitcelica.monchar.com

[95st-celica]

$400 for the car (technically)
$35 for the CAI
$450 for the 7" flip out monitor/cd player

$100 for 2 new tires
$28 for 7th gen short throw shifter
$2500 for the 3s clip

i try to keep tabs on everything i buy for this car so i know exactly what i spent on it and so i know how much i have dumped into it through out the time of me owning it...this is only the very begining...much more $$ will be poured into this black hole

Ah, so you ARE going to keep it after all...... Glad to hear that.

[Cuts_the_Pilot]

driveby...your 30k makes me feel better.
ive put in a bit over $20 000 in 3 years (not including purchase cost obviously), 99& of that is parts because i do all my own fabrication and work.

and i still have a stock turbo, and the $2400 worth of wheels were on it when i got the car .

ahh we do it to make money...we do it cause they are the balls.
