sideskirts came with the expensive car(39K 1998, not 63K 2 yrs later)

Front/Rear OEM Extensions $300 even
Eibach Springs $210 + $125 installation + $50 alignment
JDM Tails $260

most costs are services/insurance/gas...damn cars are expensive

[Coomer]

I won't list all of my modifications, but I've spent around $7,000 on my car, after I paid $7,800 for the car.

[CelicaQT]

Roughly a tad over $2100. Just on mods alone.

[Akimbo]

On mods. Hmm. Maybe 500 lol. Nothing done to it yet. I suppose my biggest mod is my fresh new 5SFE. Yeah, that brings the total to over 2 grand.

[Phat_99CeliGT]

close to $15k in mods.
paid $17k for the car.

thats 2 paint jobs, 2 bodykits, 4 sets of rims, 2 sets of coilovers, $3k air ride setup, 2 vinyal designs, hood, wing, shaved badges, neons, $1700 Indash, exhaust work, fenders, new sides....etc

lets just say i have too much time and money in this beast
but money well spent

[subsolo_21]

Enkei rims-$600
System-$1000
Interior work-$200
Exhaust-$200
Engine dress up and CAI-$120
Suspension-$50ish? dont remember
Other stuff (carbon fiber pieces small stuff etc-$60

Total-$2230

Paid $4100 for car. Many more mods to come.

heh..mod price>car price when im finished. Craazy.

[abatardi]

ahhhh hahahaha yeah....

Car = $8500

3rd gen engine = $1800 shipped
Wolf 3d EMS = $1400 (never worked, refused return, sold for $400) total = $1000 loss
Haltech = $1300
Exhaust parts = $750 (downpipe, muffler, piping, flex joints, flanges)
Front mount I/C = $500
engine swap labor, haltech Installation + dyno time + tuning costs, exhaust fab, intercooler pipe fab = $4k
Engine rebuild after it blows up on the dyno = $2k
Misc parts = $2k easy
st205 body parts = $1200 or so, so far
Clutch problems with swap after clutchnet sent me the wrong disc....twice + labor = $1000
Do I add in the plane tickets and shipment of the vehicle cross country to deal with issues considering I lived in California and the car was in Maine? :-P

Still not running 100%, still don't have all the st205 body parts, still no paint. I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot too because I added it all up a while back and it was more than that.

TOOO MUCH... But not as much as NEVERSTOP. That boy has put in way too much..

I'd rather not say... but if you look at my Project Diary in the Completed Swaps Sticky in the Engines/Transmissions forum... you could probably formulate an rough estimate on how much I've spent.

[toyotaspeed_90]

on mods alone... on my 90 corolla "sr5" i've put about 7,000-8,000 total through 4 years..... and i'm NOT done

[boosted_K2]

so far this year ive invensted in my MR2:
bodykit: 525
stereo: 340
TRD shifter: 100
A-pillar: 25
TOTAL: 990

im estimating before the summer is over:
kit install and paint: 500-2000 depending on if i get the whole car repainted (its very nice being sponsored by 2 shops )
boost and oil pressure gauges: 100
antitheft/turbo timer: 600
Blitz Nur Spec: 400
Sparco Seats: Not sure what kind of deal i will get, probably still going to be around 1k
TOTAL: 2100+Paint/install, which is going to be around 3100-3600

so 4090-4590 in one year + a civic hatch winter car + payments on school + girlfriend, for the first time i dont have to wonder where all my money went lol

[celimanST]

I have about a $1500 in mine.

WIlliam

[1bwilson]

close to 10k

[aaronc222]

Car + interest: $18k
Mods: ~$1500
Summer mods planned: ~$3000(paint, rest of bodykit, rims, and seats)

[Kwanza26]

A lot of my parts sorta just transfered over from my previous. Hmm... I'd guess around 3k or so in the Celica and purchase price was 2500. My AE86 sits at 2k (including DMV fees, purchase price, engine and parts).

[kuya1284]

Out of curiousity, are some of you including the amount you've spent on parts that are no longer part of your car? If that's the case, I could honestly say that I've spent close to NEVERSTOP... I've gone through a few body kits, 3 sets of springs, 4 paint jobs, motor swap, etc... But if we were to just count the stuff that are on my car right now... that would be a different story.
